YORKSHIRE 3 PEAKS
WEEKEND

Day One (Friday)

We'd recommend aiming to arrive by 7pm so you can join us for a quick welcome drink before we eat. We'll cook a pasta meal at around 7.30pm - a great way to get to know your new friends and to have a chat about the challenge ahead. The accommodation is very modern and has excellent views to the gorgeous Ribblehead Viaduct, making a great spot for a sun-downer.

​

Day Two (Saturday)

We tackle the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge is a 24 mile circular walking route within the spectacular Yorkshire Dales National Park. The route includes Yorkshire's 3 highest peaks;

Ingleborough (723m/2,372ft);

Pen-y-ghent (694m/2,227ft); and

Whernside (736m/2,415ft).

The 'Challenge' is to complete the route within 12 hours.

Professional Mountain Leaders will guide and support us, water and snack resupplies are provided after each peak, and you can 'pick your pace' by joining the 'faster' or 'slower' group on the day.

The challenge is achievable for almost anyone that is prepared to put in some preparation work to build up to this challenge, but you should not underestimate it. We highly recommend you undertake a number of day hikes prior to the event. If you are prepared, this is a beautiful, social and very rewarding event.

We have beautifully converted barn accommodation, with stunning views of the Ribblehead Viaduct, and we'll toast our successes with a meal and a few celebratory drinks. As the accommodation is on the Y3P route, there's no need to worry about logistics or driving on the day of the challenge, as well as being a comfortable spot for us to return to after conquering the peaks!

​

Day Three (Sunday)

After a hard day's trekking on Sunday, today is a steadier pace. We drive (15-20 minutes) to the nearby Wensleydale Creamery in the market town of Hawes. We'll enjoy a cheese making demonstration and the farm shop has local ice cream, craft beers and more.

We end the weekend with a Sunday Roast (vegetarian options available) together in Hawes before making your way home for a well earned rest. This weekend is an amazing weekend of hiking, laughs and new friends!

• A fun, sociable, solo-friendly group to adventure with!

• An Adventure Solos host who will be there throughout the event.

• Adventure Solos' detailed Pre-Adventure Guide.

• Invite to a Whatsapp group for all participants (useful for sharing lifts, sharing photos, staying in touch, etc).

• Mountain Leaders will guide us around the Yorkshire Three Peaks route on the Saturday with at least two different pace options to pick from on the day (this will happen quite naturally whilst we're on the walk so no need to worry about which will suit you best).

• Food for five meals is provided (2x evening meals, 1x packed lunch, 2x breakfasts - all with vegetarian options).

no need to worry; stick with our Mountain Leaders who will help guide you!

'Pick your own pace' by sticking with the 'faster' or 'slower' group on the day.

There are options to head back to our accommodation after each peak.

For us this means that the majority of our guests do not know anyone else at the event before they arrive. The weekend is a great way to challenge yourself and make new friends.

The majority of people attend by themselves and meet and make new friends whilst at the event. This is also facilitated by an Adventure Solos host who will be present to ensure everyone is having a good time.

No specialist equipment is required other than sensible outdoor footwear (boots) and clothing (eg waterproofs). More information is provided as part of the Pre-Adventure Guide, but please get in touch if you would like more help.

The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge is very achievable if you prepare properly for it - we would recommend you undertake a number of day-long hikes as preparation before the event. You will then be able to enjoy the day rather than just endure it!
