Meet at the car park (pay and display) at Horton-In-Ribblesdale, Post code for sat nav is BD24 0HH.

26 miles across the three highest mountains in the Yorkshire Dales.

You will leave Horton in Ribblesdale at 7am to climb Pen Y Ghent, the first of the Yorkshire Three Peaks.

Once you have hit the summit, you will descend then cross the moors, following the Ribble Way, where you will see the amazing structure of the Ribblehead Viaduct, subject of the ITV Drama ‘Jericho’, following the Settle to Carlisle railway. Here you will commence your climb up the second peak, Whernside.

Once you have hit the summit of Whernside, you will descend and cross farmland to the final peak Ingleborough. Once you have summited Ingleborough you have a 4 mile descent back to Horton in Ribblesdale, where the local hostelries will gladly serve you refreshments to celebrate your success.

It will be hard, but it will be an experience that you will never, ever forget.

Therefore, if you want something to push you out of your comfort zone, then this is it!! It truly is one of the most amazing days ever.

We really hope you can join us.
