Conquer the highest 3 peaks of the Yorkshire Dales! The Yorkshire 3 Peaks is a very demanding but rewarding trekking challenge, which takes in the summits of Pen-y-ghent (694m/2,276 ft), Whernside (736m/2,415 ft) and Ingleborough (723m/2,372 ft). This is a fantastic different take on the classic Yorkshire 3 Peaks, splitting the 3 Peaks into 2 days. In addition to this, we’ll enjoy a trek to the Ingleton Waterfalls – a truly stunning not to miss sight.

Day 2 Saturday 25 April Pen Y Ghent and Whernside (1st and 2nd Peak) We set off early morning from Horton-inRibblesdale to begin our adventure! Our first peak, Pen-y-ghent (694m / 2,276 ft) with its steep ascent and exposed ridgeline, is just under 3 miles away, so it won’t be long before we enjoy our first taste of success. We then push on across remote, rolling countryside to conquer Whernside, the highest of all 3 peaks, some 7.5 miles further along, with a further 6 miles before we finish for the day. Expect a long, physically demanding day of trekking, with sweeping panoramas and a fierce sense of accomplishment by day’s end. Ascent – approx. 3,550 ft Trekking distance – approx. 16.5 miles
Day 3 Sunday 26 April Ingleton Waterfalls and Ingleborough (3rd Peak) After a challenging Day 2, we set out directly from our hostel along the famous Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, where spectacular falls tumble through ancient woodlands and rocky gorges. But the adventure’s not over yet – we still have one final test: the steep climb to conquer the summit of our final Yorkshire Peak, Ingleborough - a dramatic flat-topped peak steeped in legend. Our descent takes us straight to our hostel, ready to celebrate our 3 Peak conquest with an award ceremony and dinner. Ascent – approx. 2,760 ft Trekking distance – approx. 12 miles
