Date and time
07:00 - 19:00The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge is a 24 mile circular walk climbing the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. This includes 1585m of ascent and the aim is to complete the challenge in under 12 hours!
Due to the time it will take to complete the challenge and the physical demand we will need to book accommodation for the nights before and after so we can start nice and early in the morning and also so we can relax and enjoy a meal together when we finish then travel home the following day.
Our full stay will be from Friday 12th to Sunday 14th June, setting out on our big day's walking on Saturday 13th!
The cost of hostel/bunkbarn style accommodation looks to be around £50-£100 for both nights but this will be confirmed once we have final numbers of those attending.
I would like to set up a WhatsApp group for those coming so we can use it to communicate while finalising the booking of accommodation and all things travel/planning/training related in the run up to the trip. If people are able to sign up using this page then I will contact you and get you added into the group.
As per my initial comms I must note again, I am not a qualified walking guide/leader so although I am very excited to be arranging this and have some experience I cannot take responsibility for the group. Hill walking experience desirable, ability to use map and compass essential!
Hope lots of you can make it as I think this will be a brilliant fun trip and a huge group achievement to complete the challenge. Please don't hesitate to give me a shout if you have any questions at all, I can't wait to get out in the hills!

Park in the Leisure World Car park, and then meet us in the reception area seating. Look out for GoodGym Runners in red T-shirts. There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at Leisure World, and Leisure World and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
