A Guide to the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge

[@ceverett8003]

After watching this about a year ago, my wife and I planned to do the 3 peaks. Well, we completed it yesterday! Beautiful. Thanks again for the inspiration. It’s been a highlight of our trip from S.C., USA.

[@thisisjogon]

Amazing Chad - great to hear you did it well done it’s a heck of a walk!

[@ceverett8003]

@@thisisjogon yes, and that you did it winter is crazy. Coming up Pen-y-Ghent almost did my wife in. 😊

[@daleharlow6006]

Loving the station in, good day out guys love that walk

[@GeorBrat-eg6jb]

Doing this in May as a 14 year old. Convinced the mother and I’m so excited.

[@thisisjogon]

Stay safe and enjoy it

[@davidkeel]

What a video ! really nicely edited and filmed etc. I'm just overcoming chronic fatigue syndrome after 20 years and I've decided to celebrate by doing this walk. and your great video came up. Thanks. I did the walk with two people in the 1980's.

[@thisisjogon]

Amazing to read. Hope that you really enjoy the walk! All the best

[@davidkeel]

@@thisisjogon Many thanks. Hope to get running like you one day.

[@ThisisTwizzy]

Im doing this in December on my own for the stroke association after my Dad had 2 major strokes. This has made me very happy to see you lads do it. I can't wait!! I've done a lot of mountain hiking before all the major ones around the UK!! But this will be my longest hike. Thanks for the video, mate

[@ThisisTwizzy]

Do you have a postcode for the parking ?

[@bex82uk]

You’re all my heroes.i hope somebody finds that rock. Beautiful scenery!! Great job Harry.

[@thisisjogon]

It would be great if they did and let us know. Thanks Becky

[@MikeOnslow]

Stunning part of the world, we were there last year and I can't wait to go back. Didn't fancy doing the challenge though, you lot are slightly mad tackling it in winter but fair play! Story beautifully told as always too 👏💪

[@thisisjogon]

Love it Mike, Yorkshire has some excellent sights. Thanks for watching as always

[@colinsawyer9391]

This is on Dad n Lads bucket list, when junior is a little older ... just not in those conditions WOW!! Another great video 🎬

[@thisisjogon]

A summer or autumn hike could be great Colin

[@mattlee8420]

Definitely something I'd like to do when the weather is a little more kind. Great video! 👍

[@thisisjogon]

Absolutely Matt, thank you. It's a wonderful route in terms of scenery

[@scottsellars6468]

Done it many times, always from Horton and in both directions. Your video is superb and brings back many memories of the last time I was able to complete the three peaks in September 1998, when a generally warm and sunny day also included a blizzard on Whernside. Like you say in the video, if you're going to do it, be prepared for the weather - it is very fickle, always have wet weather gear.

[@thisisjogon]

Great advice. Thank you for taking the time to watch Scott

[@Shevock]

Looks like some fun hills with good friends and all things considered not the worse winter weather.

[@thisisjogon]

Could have been a lot worse absolutely Dan. The following weekend after this was torrential rain which would have been really tough had we had that. Thank you for watching

[@christinaclementson2685]

Loved this!! Well done all of you, that looked tough. I hope someone finds the hidden pebble 😊😊👌👌

[@thisisjogon]

I hope so too Christina

[@Alex-uj4zf]

Great hike, hope this'll be the youtube video to go to for Yorkshire 3 Peaks!

[@thisisjogon]

We can but wait and see

[@Alex-uj4zf]

I particularly liked your segment on the viaduct

[@CR-ew9gl]

Adventure time😲🤯 The waterfall and the Gully looked absolutely amazing, well done to the 3 of you💪

[@thisisjogon]

Thanks Dave

[@carlo96850]

Me and 30 odd others are taking on the challenge in April for our local hospice 👍🏼 thanks to you and your pals for putting this together, it’s given me a real idea as to what is in store! We’ve been doing plenty of training, not much rock climbing though, pen-y-Ghent, looks… interesting 😂👀

[@thisisjogon]

That’s awesome. Wishing you all the best with your walk and thanks for watching!

[@peteoutdoors5791]

Done this a few times myself but never been the way you went through the gully but it is a great walk first time me and my daughter did it it was a Father’s Day walk took us 12 and half hours but the best we did was 10 and half so please with it might give it another try this year with my son .

[@thisisjogon]

Awesome Pete - yes the gully was a complete surprise and otherworldly I must say Thank you for watching

[@Olikachu]

crazy how many different environments you visited throughout the huge hike, like the cool mossy areas after the waterfall, moory landscapes and of course the peak with the snow. super cool to see it all on display here and hike on

[@thisisjogon]

It was spectacular Oli

[@almor2445]

Madmen! :P My brother and I just did a 6 hour hike around the Pen-y-fan horseshoe and the Mrs and I just did Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis but 10 hours in one go is brutal. Well done everyone. Hat's off to you all.

[@thisisjogon]

Great surname Alex. Some great hikes from you - Scafell Pike can be surprisingly baron at the summit

[@BradleySingerRuns]

love this challenge. well done lads

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you Bradley, it was a big challenge

[@bish100bish]

A great walk I know well myself. Well done on a great video - did not look easy 👍

[@thisisjogon]

It is a great walk Lee, yet he winter definitely added another interesting element

[@aprilmunday1152]

Amazing and such beautiful scenery, but you haven't convinced me that I should go walking up and down huge hills in Yorkshire in the middle of winter. Well done, by the way.

[@thisisjogon]

Haha, worth a try April

[@angelaharvey2034]

I completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge! An excellent challenge! Loved every minute of it!

[@thisisjogon]

Well done indeed, it’s no small walk!

[@BABSollie]

I did this challenge in 11 hours and I have to say, you’re video really inspired and certainly helped in doing this. It was incredible fun and I’d love to do it in winter like you did. Keep the mountain adventures coming!! 🧡

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you, hoping to release more in the future

[@clairel3730]

Well done Harry and friends 😄

Great video, Ingleborough is done last in the fell race, imagine going up that super steep section at 5:46 after nearly 20 miles of brutal running

Sounds horrendous Ric! Appreciate you watching

[@WeRemainFaceless]

Just done it today in 7hrs 54mins. Now I think I may be dead 😳☠️🤣 I really don’t envy you doing all three in snowy conditions btw.

you need to do the fell race now ;-) front runners run well under sub 3 hours!!

[@thisisjogon]

I saw Ben, absolutely mental pace for the terrain

[@hamwhacker]

We walked it in 15 hours last summer starting from Philpin Campsite which is only a mile or so from the Ribblehead Viaduct. We walked clockwise to Ingleborough, Pen-Y-Ghent then finally Whernside then back to the campsite which is en-route. The great thing about doing it this way is that you can take the train from Horton in Ribblesdale to Ribblehead to cut the walk short if you have someone in your group struggling.

[@thisisjogon]

It's a great route

[@connorgray2896]

Great vid! Its strange to me that you don't have a few hundred thousand subs! Keep pushing though, numbers will come!

Great video! I've done the 3P quite a few times - big wall back after peak 3 for you guys compared to the normal route starting in Horton. Have you heard of the Tea Room Round? Did that last year, very challenging, would make for a great video.

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you Jonny, no but definitely worth a look, it's a fascinating landscape and challenge I wish you all the best with your future adventures

[@frixstersprout3543]

I’ve just done Pen-y-Ghent and Whernside and it was very tough. Knee gave out coming down Pen-Y-Ghent, so Whernside was painful and couldn’t complete Ingleborough. Will return next year and do the third one.

[@thisisjogon]

Great stuff

[@gary6514]

Maybe its just me but this video reminds me of the Moors scene from American Werewolf in London....stick to the road lads. Stay off the moors....beware of the moon. I'm scaring myself here!

[@HikerBobOfficial]

Hi Harry, first time I've ever come across your channel. The amount of effort you have put into this video clearly shows! May I ask how long it took for you to edit this video? Many thanks 😊

[@thisisjogon]

That's a great question, likely something in the region of 20 hours. But based on intensive editing for 4 hours per day, about 5 days of work.

[@HikerBobOfficial]

@@thisisjogon That's a really interesting insight, on my latest video I spent around half a day and then the morning of the next day and that was alot for me. However quality over quantity is what i have heard, and this video is a clear example of the attention to detail, i love the use of B-Roll it's varied and precise. Thanks again for some great content 👌 👏

[@thisisjogon]

@@HikerBobOfficial really appreciate you asking, yes - I would release 4 videos a year over 1 per week if it meant they were of a higher standard, that's my approach. So much out there I can't watch for sheer lack of quality.

[@calebniner]

Did anyone find your painted stone? I'll be hiking up Pen-y-ghent tomorrow

[@thisisjogon]

Great question - I have never heard from anyone that they found that stone, no. Maybe one day if a person finds this video

[@calebniner]

@@thisisjogon I didn't see the stone when I got to the top. Unless I'm blind, someone must have found it.

[@danwright9454]

harry how long have you been running mate i just seen your 500km everyday for a month and the pace on the last 10 miler was insane !

[@thisisjogon]

Hi Dan, all my life (and some walks thrown in as you can see in this video) Yes that last 10 miles was a sort of final hurrah to celebrate what had been a crazy 31 days. That said, I wouldn’t recommend it as a tactic, could have blown up and put the whole challenge in jeopardy, but just felt good. Thanks for watching my videos Dan. Harry

[@danwright9454]

@@thisisjogon no worries mate really enjoy them as a new younger runner I find it awesome to have so much advice and motivation at my fingertips keep up the hard work 👊🏻

[@northernninjarunner5506]

Did you manage to record the route on your watch or phone? Not sure how long my Garmin would last

[@thisisjogon]

Almost all of it, but no it couldn’t quite make it. My new Garmin would do this much more easily - looking forward to a future adventure with it

[@JonathanCharles-y5q]

what month was this filmed in? I am tackling the challenge end of october

[@thisisjogon]

All the best with your challenge - it sounds mad but genuinely cannot remember what month this was filmed in, apologies. Perhaps there is a clue in the video. Somewhere between November and March
