🥾 About the Walk
Pen-y-Ghent is one of the iconic Yorkshire Three Peaks and offers breathtaking views, a fantastic sense of achievement and a memorable day out.
The route includes:
- Steep climbs
- Uneven rocky paths
- A short scramble near the summit
- Approximately 6-7 miles
- Around 4-5 hours walking (depending on the group)
A reasonable level of fitness is required.
🤝 Walking Together
This is a Be Strong group walk, not a race.
We’ll complete the route together as one group, taking time to regroup whenever needed and making sure nobody is left behind. There will naturally be points where we pause to allow everyone to catch up, catch their breath, grab a drink or simply take in the incredible surroundings.
Our mountain walks are about far more than reaching the summit. They’re about supporting one another, enjoying the journey together and celebrating everyone’s achievement as a team.
Whether you’re one of the quickest walkers or prefer a steadier pace, everyone is equally important. The mountain isn’t going anywhere, so there’s no prize for getting back first.
If you’re looking for a friendly, supportive day in the hills with the Be Strong community, you’re going to love it.
🎒 Essential Kit
Mountain weather can change quickly, even in the middle of summer, so it’s important that everyone comes prepared.
Please bring:
- ✅ Walking boots or sturdy walking shoes with good grip (trainers are not suitable)
- ✅ Waterproof jacket
- ✅ Warm layers
- ✅ Hat and gloves
- ✅ Plenty of water
- ✅ Picnic lunch and snacks
- ✅ Any medication you may require
Being properly prepared helps keep everyone safe and ensures we all have an enjoyable day on the mountain.
🐶 Friends, Family & Dogs
👭 Friends and family are very welcome.
🐶 Well-behaved dogs are welcome too, provided they remain under control at all times, particularly around livestock.
🍽️ After the Walk
After our descent we’ll head to The Plough at Wigglesworth, arriving at approximately 5:30pm, for a well-earned meal and the chance to relax together after a fantastic day on the hill.
If you’d like to join us for food, please book your own table directly with The Plough before the day, as we won’t be making a group booking and availability cannot be guaranteed.
Food and drinks are optional and are at your own expense.
