Robin and Ian go for a long walk

About the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge

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

Two (aging but) young at heart adventurers looking for something challenging to do after watching the Yorkshire Grand Depart of the 2014 Tour de France on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th July 2014. The weather ranged from heavy rain and thick cloud (visibility about five metres) at the top of Pen-y-ghent, through to sunshine later in the day to allow spectacular views from the top of Whernside and then Ingleborough (by which time we were looking forward to getting back down). A glorious day!
