I've just been asked to do the 3 peaks with a friend. I will need to train, being 69, but relatively fit. Your video was great to get a feel for it, and I appreciate your advice. Cheers
You’ll be fine as long as you pace yourself and remember to eat and drink. Sounds silly but you’d be amazed how many people I come across on my travels who are struggling to reach summits and they say ‘I only had a banana this morning cause I wanted a light breakfast’ etc tc 🙄🤦🏼♂️ Big bowl of porridge with peanut butter, honey, a sliced banana and some protein powder in - the best breakfast I found to have before a long hike. And bring lots of water, sugary snacks and beef jerky 🍻
Thank you for this - I am ‘support vehicle’ for my husband and daughter today and just met them at Philpots farm. I wouldn’t have known it was there (lovely coffee and flapjacks).
Always a good idea to check the weather forecasts - mountain forecasts (MWIS or Met Office) give a lot more detail than normal forecast. You're right about the temperature difference between valley and top. You're lucky having Sarah with you to remind you what the hills are called 🙂.
Well done Guys Ive done it myself a few times but perhaps 20 years ago. I watched with interest as im attempting it this week 😂 Really enjoyed your film Tony
My tips: do a recce so you know where the water is. It's a limestone landscape so surface water is less available than you'd find in the Lake District. Also perhaps leave a vehicle halfway with useful stuff such as clean socks, water, food etc. The less weight you carry the easier it will be.
Yes there is a drinking water tap at Philpin farm barn where the snack shop is, it's at the back of the barn near the lockers and is open 24/7. I walk the 3 Peaks every year and it is very useful as I now only need to take 1 litre of water for the first half of the walk and then top up another litre at the barn. And I get a cup of tea at the barn as well 👍
Well done. Perhaps a future challenge ? - came down that path on Ingleborough last month and it is pretty steep (part of the Dales Highway). But when you think that the fastest time for the Yorkshire 3 peaks is about 2hr45min - they must be mad!!
@jamies_adventures We've just completed the 3 Peaks, looks like you had better weather than us, wind like no other on the top of Ingleborough! Lovely area though, enjoyed it, but a real challenge!
Well, anythings possible. I always say have a paper back up. But a phone based map is also good to have. Although, there are plenty of signs along the path.
The place where its easiest to get lost is coming off Ingleborough, especially in mist. When you reach the Summit plateau, just turn round and note the path as you need to return back down the same way for about 100M before forking off right to Horton in Ribblesdale. It's been the cause of many mountain rescue call outs. I would strongly recommend downloading the OS Map of the area to your phone.
Nice vid, in 2020 we managed it in 11hrs 9mins. We tackled Whernside last and that steady uphill from the viaduct for 4 miles almost killed me off. Its defo a challenge not to be underestimated, and I must be mad considering doing it again with a different group of friends in about a months time painkillers for lunch i think

Great video, top effort on the hike in windy conditions by the looks! I’m taking on the 3 Peaks in a few weeks, looking forward to it.
Thanks for your comment. Have a great time when you do it, it's a great day!

Doing this in July. Beats walking on water!!
It sure does
Great video guys! Could I ask, is there an opportunity on the route to get more water?
Thanks! There’s a burger van near the viaduct that may do water, but not sure. My advice is take plenty of water!

Yeah, some people are made from different stuff huh! Thanks for the comment :-)
Done it 6 times mainly for charity it not to be taken lightly l now do one peak a time more enjoyable great video
6 times is amazing! Awesome :-)
I'm about to do it for ,bit of a warmup for ultra.what time did you roughly do it in?
We walked it in 11h30 (ish with some stops) I think :-)
Great vid dude
Cheers! Thanks for the comment :-)
Is this " shop/cafe/toilet " more or less on route after the "wernside" descent ???? Thank you.
Yes, it's on the route. You walk right past it.
@jamies_adventures We've just completed the 3 Peaks, looks like you had better weather than us, wind like no other on the top of Ingleborough! Lovely area though, enjoyed it, but a real challenge!
Well done! Weather makes such a difference on big walks.
Hi was the vending machine cash only? Thanks
No, I used my watch to pay. So any contactless would work fine. :-)
@@jamies_adventures much appreciated Jamie.. doing the route tomorrow with my daughter and didn’t want to miss out!
@@philjeffrey1691 have a great trip!
No, it's card or phone only. During the summer they open a snack bar which takes cash or cards.
Tackling this September. Great video
Awesome! You’ll have a great time! Thanks for the comment :-)
How possible is it to get lost without a map ??
Well, anythings possible. I always say have a paper back up. But a phone based map is also good to have. Although, there are plenty of signs along the path.
