About the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge

The Yorkshire Peaks Challenge involves climbing Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside within 12 hours.

Husband and wife team. Keen walkers, who have never walked this distance before and don't actually like hills.... Before the walk: This would be a good challenge. Target of 10 hours plus breaks. During the walk: I want to die. This is not fun. Why would you CHOOSE to do this? After the walk: My legs hurt. Never again. But mega chuffed that we smashed our time. Our breaks totalled approx 50 minutes, so actual walking time was 8hrs 16mins!!!
