The challenge involved climbing the three highest peaks in Yorkshire; Pen-Y-Ghent (2,415 ft), Whernside (2,415 ft) and Ingleborough (2,372 ft), walking a total of 23.3 miles (46,600 steps), in under 12 hours.

The Y3P 2018 challenge was made tougher by the extremely wet weather conditions and poor visibility on top of each peak. With only 10% chance of sunshine forecast, the majority of the team still managed to finish in well under 12 hours, with Ben Jacobs, Joel Turner, Nigel Dickinson, Paul Inman managing an impressive time of 8 hours, 26 minutes.

All walkers arriving back to base safely, thanks to the expert supervision of Phil Lee and his trusted team of KUTA Outdoors marshalls.

Also joining us this year, was our Welsh 3000’s team who took part as their final big practice session ahead of their 15 peaks in 24 hours’ challenge in July. Phillip Venter, Simon Wilde and George Dobbins completing the Yorkshire 4 Peaks in an impressive 10 hours 36 minutes.
