Route

  • Meet at 6.30am to begin your challenge. The Mountain Leaders will set the pace with an aim of completing in 12 hours, but will take the group's ability and conditions on the day into account. An early start is a must to make the most of the daylight.
  • The first peak is Pen-y-ghent (694m / 2,276 ft) and can be seen from your starting point.
  • The next is the highest of the three, Whernside, approximately 7.5 miles away from Pen-y-Ghent.
  • The final peak is Ingleborough (723m / 2,237 ft) and is approximately 11.5 miles from Whernside. This stretch can feel pretty lengthy so you'll have to dig deep and keep the ultimate goal in sight. This is where your training really pays off. Standing at the top of the third and final peak feels incredible and you'll take that sense of achievement with you all the way to the finish line.
  • You're in your stride by now so the 6 mile hike back to Horton-in-Ribblesdale rounds the challenge off nicely before receiving huge congratulations for your significant achievement!

Care for the environment

  • The Adventure Code team cares passionately about the environment and will ensure this challenge is conducted responsibly.
  • The intimate group of 15-20 walkers minimises footfall in the sensitive dales environment - so this is a great guided challenge to choose.
