Dales Three Peaks : We walked the Three Peaks in a single
walk star
ting and finishing in the same place.
12 hours is often taken as a time limit. The distance is roughly 40km or 25
miles. The peaks are : Whernside
(736m,SD 738814), Ingleborough
(723m, SD 741745), Pen-y-ghent
(694m, SD 838734). We bagged the three famous peaks in the Yorkshire Dales, of
which Whernside is the highest point in Yorkshire, in one long day's walking in
beautiful scenery. Link up three mountains that gradually become nearer, each
one seeming like a very long way off when seen from the last mountain! Chapel-le-Dale was our option for a
valley start point. This is a dispersed village on the Ingleton-Hawes road,
between Whernside and Ingleborough on the Three Peaks route, and 3km South West
of Ribblehead. The record for the Yorkshire Three Peaks is around 2h 30m. In
contrast, we took 8 hours at a moderate pace.
