Has anyone on here done the Yorkshire Three Peaks? I did it yesterday, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done - including the London marathon. Interested to hear other people's experiences of it
Both my son & daughter have done it with the Air Cadets.
Well done. Magnificent views.
Did the Yorkshire 3 Peaks many years ago as part of walking the Pennine Way. Was very enjoyable although I recall we made the mistake of lingering over a liquid pub lunch which made the afternoon more of a challenge.
I can recommend you trying The other Three Peaks (Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis), did them in under 20 hours, including driving time. Great fun.

Far more,fun in 3 days so you can really enjoy the walks and views, loved them but all the driving and walking up one in the dark would miss the point surely!
How long ago did you do the marathon? You're getting on a bit these days don't forget.
At the risk of sounding stupid, were you walking or running?
I've got a small group of keen rambling friends and we are gradually working our way through the national trails.
I can heartily recommend Offa's Dyke if you have a week to spare.
True - that was 13 years ago. However, it's quite easy to train for a marathon. Each peak is three times the size of the largest peak in Sussex - and the terrain is so varied. It's incredibly difficult.
Did you climb Whernside first or last?
Sorry I meant Ingleborough. I was thinking of Whernside because you'd mentioned it earlier.Second

I'm sure I wouldn't struggle with it at all.
It's a bit unfair to compare an elite athlete like yourself against the rest of us though
