My partner James Harrison has done the 3 peaks a couple of times now and I set myself a personal goal to do it along with him. We planned a date that would give me plenty of time of train beforehand. In the meantime one of James' work colleagues and another friend wanted to join us. In turn a few more decided they wanted to have a go, so 8 of us got together to do the walk yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and all I can say is the training paid off. No blisters just a few aching muscles. Not sure the rest of the group can say the same though!
10 hours and 50 minutes
The Yorkshire Peaks Challenge involves climbing Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside, often within 12 hours.
