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.

Tip no. 1 should be Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, Inglebrough is the best route as the last few miles are a comfortable downhill walk. Agree with everything else you said, especially weather warning, I've seen snow in September on Whernside. Thanks for the informative video.

Completed this hike on Sunday. We were battered by 25 mile+ winds up Whernside and Ingleborough. We then thought the weather subsided however the heavens opened up on the ascent of Penyygent. Overall an amassing experience and the weather played its part.

I mostly agree with these, apart from one tip which I completely disagree with. Conditions can change drastically (on the tops especially) and all those signposts won't help much if the mist comes down. The top of Ingleborough is not well served with signposts and it is quite common for groups to wander around the summit plateau looking for the path down or to take the wrong path. Whilst many people undoubtably do complete the route without a map I think it is very irresponsible to suggest that a map and compass are not needed. Every year CRO gets called out to groups that are lost on the Three Peaks route. Interestingly CRO also suggest making sure that you carry a fully charged phone and a light that is separate from a phone. I would also add that the route is hardest to complete in either bad weather or very hot weather. There is very little shelter on the route so if it is hot you will constantly be in the sun. In these conditions sun protection makes a huge difference.

The Local guide is right. Only kill the Spanish wood snail/Slug (Arion vulgaris, syn. Arion lusitanicus) also called Iberian wood snail or killer snail. The Spanish wood snail is considered a pest, especially in northern Europe, because in humid summers it can reproduce in very large numbers. It can be confused with black wood snail, cellar snail (which has horizontal stripes) and red wood snail, which is typically larger and orange-reddish. whilst the Spanish wood snail is most often reddish-brown and that type of snail kills the orginal black and good snails. So the Arion Vulgaris is an invasive species here in Denmark. :)

A slightly belated comment with thanks for posting this Jamie. I really enjoyed it in terms of the content and the high quality of your production. I've done the Way a few times and one useful tip for people to note relates to something that you noticed. There were a lot of people at Beinglas on the Tuesday night and elsewhere on other nights even though you weren't walking in high season. One reason for this is that there is a bulge in numbers every week. Because of the way that our working lives are organised most people start the WHW (and other longer trails) at the weekend which means there is a bulge in the numbers heading north, putting pressure on facilities and accomodation. If their schedule allows I really strongly recommend that people start on Tuesday or Wednesday so you are part of a much smaller cohort making your way along the trail. It makes life much easier.

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 👍
