This challenge walk is in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park and summits three of the highest and best-known hills in Yorkshire: Pen Y Ghent (694m) Whernside (736m) and Ingleborough (723m).
The challenge starts with a steep ascent up Pen-y-Ghent, which means ‘hill on the border’, where you be greeted with fantastic views across the dales. After descending Pen-Y-Ghent, you will continue walking through the idyllic Yorkshire Dales, passing the Ribblehead Viaduct, towards the second summit, Whernside. Whernside is a more gradual climb with views of Morecombe Bay and the Sea from the top. The final summit, Ingleborough is another steep ascent, but its flat top means you will get panoramic views in all directions. You will then have a gentle descent back into Horton-in-Ribblesdale.
This is a very challenging walk, so if you are not used to walking a long distance we recommend the Dambusters Round as your first challenge.
Cost: £50 - To recover your £50 entry fee, we ask as an individual you commit to raising at least £250 for the charity. This amount covers one full bursary place on one of our retreats, or 5 places on one of our day walks. If fundraising this amount feels a little overwhelming, we still warmly invite you to join us and spend the day advocating for our charity with the donation of your entry fee.
Teams are also welcome, for example a team of 4 raising £1,000 would fund an entire Mind Over Mountains event, giving up to 18 people some much needed respite with a day in the hills and access to our professional wellbeing team.
