Yorkshire 3 Peaks

So with all that in mind a group of 10 of us will be walking the Yorkshire 3 peaks in aid of East Lancs Hospice on the 17|07|2021. 

The Yorkshire Three Peaks route is 24 miles (38.6km), and includes 5200ft of ascent. The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, usually in this order, and takes approximately12 hours to complete. These peaks form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

We are by no means regular hikers and are fully expecting this to hurt, a lot, and probably for a few weeks after it!! Surely to see us all in pain is more than enough reason to make a donation :-)
