The latest edition of 'The Guide' will answer most of your questions but briefly... Ascending all three summits prior to attempting 'The Challenge' is a really good idea, whether you take the '3 Peaks' route up/down them or not it'll give you a good idea of what to expect. You don't need to be mega-...

Personally, given your projected 5 hour drive to/from the area, I'd give it a miss. Friday's forecast is for heavy snow at times with sub zero temperatures with a severe wind chill making it feel like -10 and 50 mph gusts of wind in places. Saturdays forecast is for less snow but the same sort of wi...

I went through Horton yesterday, Monday - 11/03/2013 and the cafe was shut too. Went through on Friday 28th Feb 2014 at 4pm and it was also closed. Not right good when you promote yourself as a 'logging' service and also a Tourist Information point! The Horton in Ribblesdale website has a link to th...

Richard has contacted me via the 'Guide' posting and I will be sending him copies of the latest version, however his request does raise a particular point that needs addressing. Undertaking the challenge with a minor does need some real consideration (yes, I know a 13 year old nowadays is going on 2...

The latest revision of the guide (April 2013) includes OS reference points which should be usable to most (all?) GPS users.

The latest version of the guide should give you all the information you should need. 1. You can start from anywhere if you so wish..............it all depends on your timescale and your ability. Most people wishing to complete the challenge in the 12 hour timescale start at Horton-in-Ribblesdale, Ri...

Hi Curtis The problem here is the terminology of 'climb' or 'climbing', something I would associate with mountain climbing where you use hard hats, ropes, crampons, slings etc. If by 'climbing' you simply mean ascending on foot then the answer to your questions are 1. No 2. Yes 3. No The point I'm m...

Have you got the correct 3 Peaks site, this is the site of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside & Ingleborough) and not the 'National' one (Scarfell, Snowdon & Ben Nevis) and you wouldn't normally expect people to 'climb' them?
