About Yorkshire Three Peaks
Large Outdoors runs regular guided Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge events, enabling walkers to achieve one of the county’s toughest hiking challenges.
Our expert guides have years’ of experience leading groups around the 25-mile route.
Yorkshire Three Peaks Description
Large Outdoors has been guiding groups to successfully complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge for several years now.
The walk has become one of the big challenges and a classic on many people’s tick lists, with good reason.
The 25-mile circuit of the county’s highest peaks Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent takes walkers through some of the most stunning Pennine and Yorkshire Dales scenery while offering 5, 249ft of ascent and descent.
A challenge it is but distinctly do-able within the 12-hour timescale, which then entitles you to join the ‘Three Peaks of Yorkshire Club’!
Our guided Yorkshire Three Peaks day and weekend events are designed specifically to provide you with all the support you need on the day, including the encouragement that will turn an epic walk into an elation-filled experience.
All our events include:
A qualified Mountain Leader to guide you every step of the way
First aid qualified staff
Pre-event training advice and tips along with discounts in various outdoor shops
Full insurance.
Interested? Then read on as we’ve gathered together advice and information written by us and Yorkshire Three Peaks completers to give you the inside story and confidence to take on this challenge.

Summer day challenge – Crib Goch Crib Goch in Snowdonia’s National Park is a fantastic mountain but one that needs a lot of respect as the mile-long narrow ridge makes it a tad more challenging.
Therefore if you’re after a day’s adventure where you can gain confidence with some grade 1 scrambling then join our experienced guide and fellow scramblers for an ascent to the summit. https://www.largeoutdoors.com/…/crib-go ch-guided-walk-expe…/
Just 3 places left for our first guided Yorkshire Three Peaks of 2019.

Please be careful out there and if you are planning to do the Yorkshire Three Peaks over the next few days. Our advice is to postpone it till later in the year.

Thanks to James for yesterday's tour!! Biggest challenge I've done so far and the enthusiasm was kept up in the group and knowledgeable of the area. Definitely recommend to others!
Such an amazing experience made even better with the support from both Mark & John who were our guides for the day. It was a pleasure to walk with you guys and would encourage anyone to give it a go!
Still can't believe I have actually completed it! Thanks for all your help and support x
Shocking weather but a great day. Big thanks to Dan our insanely cheerful guide who distracted us from the horror !
Massive thanks to Mark and John for guiding team Cosatto to completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge on Saturday. A special thank you to John for all of your support and for being so patient with me, I never thought I would be able to do it but I did and I can't thank you enough! ÔøΩ P.s the photos look amazing!

Large Outdoors organise fully guided day walks and weekends...
Gareth and his team at Large Outdoors surpassed the excellent marker in my opinion, online advice before we went was fantastic, warm friendly welcome, scrumptious home cooked meals. Plenty of quality food available. Accommodation excellent, ambiance brilliant. Mountain guides friendly, knowledgable and very patient. Especially Scott and Hayley without them I wouldn't have made it. I wouldn't book with anyone else. First time walking and climbing for me but certainly won't be my last thanks to the wonderful experience they gave me. Thank you so much. Gaynor, Daisy & Lauren.
Even before the walk the service given by Gareth was prompt and helpful. The website gave all the required information. I had a challenging but amazing time successfully completing the Yorkshire 3 Peak challenge. Our professional, knowledgeable and all around good bloke & guide Scot is a credit to your company. He made time to get to know the group, supported us when necessary and pushed us when needed. Thank you
Epic views. Amazing people. Good challenge and proud to have done and tempted to go again...
