Montaña Pen-y-Ghent

Pen-y-Ghent makes up one the Yorkshire 3 peaks which, if you accept the challenge have to complete all 3 peaks and 24 miles within 12 hours. Most people start with this one (the smallest of the 3 ) from the nearby village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale. I’ve completed the challenge many years ago in my youth and this time we just tackled this one on a circular 6 mile walk.

We took the 3 peaks ascent route which is steep in places and involves a scramble up some rocks near the end but the views (when clear) are stunning. There are lots of walks  of varying lengths around the Yorkshire Dales, a definite walkers paradise. Just make sure you are prepared for all weathers, by the time we descended you couldn’t see the summit for cloud.

Beautiful weather up Pen-y-ghent today. Little windy at the top but we were grateful for the breeze after a scrabble to the top! #YorkshireThreePeaks #Yorkshire #Hiking #UnitedKingdom
Classic Dales scenery on a blustery summer afternoon.
The final hill of Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, a hike of around 27-30 miles including ascent of three mountains. Beautiful scenery all around, but quite challenging.
