Completing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks, with some great experiences along the way.

[@janesteel5080]

An impressive detailed route on an interesting walk.

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello Jane. The walk is well signed, so hopefully you will not get lost :-)

[@58farce]

Enjoyable,thanks for sharing.

[@planwatchwalk]

Thanks Faris. Pleased you enjoyed it More to come

[@leylieghbali6472]

Thanks for this great detailed view of what to expect! Very informative!

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello Leyli. Pleased you liked the detail, If you haven't walked it already, it is worth considering.

Excellent video. I did the Yorkshire Three Peaks on 7th June 2022. Perfect conditions (clear summit views on all three mountains) and a fantastic challenge. Did the route the same as yourself, from Pen Y Ghent, then Whernside and last but not least Ingleborough. Would definitely do it again. As I chose to do the walk on a Tuesday there were very few walkers on route and June is an excellent month given the daylight hours. Loved the challenge and took plenty of photos so have a brilliant record of the wonderful scenery on a beautiful, sunny day.

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello Angela. I am pleased you enjoyed the video and great news to see that you completed the walk; it is a good one, especially if you get good weather and great views. If you can get the time, there are some great advantages to complete the walk mid-week. I am pleased you manage to get a number of photos along the way. Looks as if you have captured some great memories. There are many other walks on the channel; I hope some of these inspire you to undertake some of them. I have just come back from 3 days in The Lakes. So there will be 4 walks being uploaded over the coming weeks, with a couple of classics in there as well. I hope you keep enjoying your walking. David

Thankd David. Pleased you appreciated it :-)

Hi David, It was lovely to meet you and to become a part of your experience on the day (we’re famous 😊). It’s also a lovely reminder for us. All the best with your channel. Phil

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello Phil. Likewise, good to meet you. I am please you enjoyed the video and have had a chance to look at some of the other walks. David

[@davedaspade]

Thank you for the video!

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello Dave. Many thanks for your feedback, I am pleased you enjoyed it. David.

[@lindseyburke-tomlinson4463]

I have done this walk a couple of times and the last section from the top of Ingleborough back to Horton felt much longer than I remembered on the second time! Just discovered your channel and looking forward to watching some of your other walks, thanks

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello Lindsey Great to hear from you. As I mentioned, I had the same feeling, the benefit I had, it was a beautiful day to end the walk. Would be great to hear what you think of the other walks. I have just finished uploading 6 walks of the Northumberland Coast Path, which you might enjoy. Thanks for the feedback David

[@martinl2325]

Just watched your very informative video after returning from completing the 3 peaks for the first time yesterday. We did it in a clockwise route starting from the ribblehead viaduct and so the long walk from ribblehad to pen y ghent was our 1st section. Then pen y ghent to Ingleborough and finish of on whernside. Positive in our opinion was the steep climb to pen and Ingleborough was a down for us, the negative was because we were going 'against the flow of traffic' so to speak (and it was a Saturday so very busy) we were constantly having to stop and wait for others coming up as we were going down so in hindsight probably not the best way to do it.

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello Martin Many thanks for your feedback, great to see you took on the challenge and completed it. I have done the walk a few times, but not in a clockwise direction. Saturdays can be a bit busy as well. I am in the Lake District over the next few days, so there will be some classic walks being posted, hopefully these may inspire you to undertake some of the walks. Great to have you onboard with the channel. David.

[@JohnSmith-bz7yx]

Been a few years since I've done these three peaks, brings back distant some memories 😁 It's nice to see that the paths are still being maintained as well. Those last steps look interesting, but a killer on the legs!

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello John. Pleased t brought back some memories for you. The paths throughout are pretty good these days. The last climb, at 20 miles in, is fun fun fun ☺ Thanks for your ongoing support for the walks. David

[@baggy2287]

I did the YTPs 3 years ago and I remember Ingleborough as an evil hill! Planning to do the route as a running challenge in the next couple of years!

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello Baggy. Ingleborough is interesting, when you are already 20 miles in 😀 Enjoy the run, let me know how it goes. David.

[@panostsak]

I am doing this in April with people in my new job! Can't wait and I have already started training, uphill runs for miles!

[@planwatchwalk]

That is great news, its a a wonderful day out. Not sure if you have seen the flythrough of the walk I have published, link kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqPOl6KLadygpM0 Would be great to hear how the walk goes. Best of luck with the training David.

[@panostsak]

@@planwatchwalk Thank you David, very nice video showing the route. I have subscribed :)

[@boyojunior]

Done 3 Peaks about 14 times (+/- 1 or 2). Try doing the 3 peaks the other way round HIR-ING-WHE-RHV-PYG-HIR - this bit is pretty precarious when coming down rather than going up. Nice vid, well done!

[@planwatchwalk]

Many thanks for the feedback, and best of luck with your next trip. David.

[@nicokremers7150]

This is funny. My wife and I stayed at the Fhilpin Farm campsite for a week this summer and also climbed the Whernside. You have filmed our tent! 🙂🙂 Regards from the Netherlands.

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello Nico. Merry Christmas. Wow, that is amazing. I hope you had a good trip. On Wednesday i am releasing a flythrough of the walk, i hope you enjoy it. D

[@burrianaUK]

Nice video, but please... it may be "gwent" in Wales, but in Yorkshire it is definitely "gent" :-)

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello. Pleased you enjoyed the video, thanks for the feedback. David

[@HillsfortheHead]

Is Pen-y-Gwent proof that this hill actually belongs in South East Wales? Language wise, after a good few years resident in Cymru, I can tell you for sure that "Pen" means "Head", and "y" means "of", so whether it is Cymraig (Welsh) or another form of old Celtic language, Pen-y-Ghent is sure to mean "Head of the" something (likely related to a confluence - perhaps the two dales either side of it, or may have stood on the border between the Celts and the Angles, or maybe even the Norsemen), but it won't be head of Newport🙂.

[@planwatchwalk]

Thanks for that, and how interesting. Many thanks for the input, much appreciated. David.

[@grahamsherry4788]

Morning, loved your video, very informative. I'm thinking of attempting the 3YP's... But I'm not at my fittest ha,... Did it take you 11.15mins at a reasonable pace or do you have to quicken yourself?.. I know everybody is different, but you looked like you were going at about my pace 'steady' ha. At 19 st with two hip replacements I'm no sprinter anymore!... I'll be watching your other videos and well done 👍

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello Graham. I am pleased you enjoyed the video and found it informative. I have a pace which I can stay at most of the day. I would always plan to complete the walk in 12 hours (2 miles per hour on average), and if completed in less time, well done. Many thanks for your positive feedback, it is always appreciated. On a side note, I have just signed a partnership agreement with OS Maps to open up all there resources. All of my walks will now be available through OS free GPS phone App, so you will be able to take the routes with you in your pocket.👌 Enjoy the rest of the walks. David.

[@samarthur1847]

Thinking of giving it a go in October, will be solo. I am 58 and average around 30 miles per week (walking) any tips would be appreciated 😊

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello Sam. Good to hear from you. It looks as if you should be walk fit for the walk, you will be climbing and descending quite a lot, so that would be a consideration. I would imagine that there will be less people walking the route in October, than during the summer months, so that may be a consideration. My advice would be around time management, plan on taking 12 hours, so leaving at sun rise would be advisable. The other considerations would be on kit. It will probably be quite cold on top, so plenty of layers as well as gloves and hat would be good. Under foot may be boggy, so a pair of boots and possibly gaiters (if you have). Check the weather conditions before you head out, you may well need water proofs. Lastly, but arguably most important would be maps, compass and torch, sat nav if you have. If anything goes wrong, or you walk off path, you could quite easily run out of day light. Hope the above is of use. Any further comments, just drop me a line. Have a great walk. David.

[@samarthur1847]

@@planwatchwalk Hi David thanks for that, do quite a few walks in the Lakes and Derbyshire throughout the year, but have missed North Yorkshire for years. Did PYG a couple of months ago in 2 and a bit hours. Have to pace myself better on longer walks. Thanks for the reply BTW looking forward to watching your other stuff.

[@planwatchwalk]

@@samarthur1847 Thanks for the update, good going with PYG👍 I have recently completed, and uploaded, the Northumberland Coast Path walk, and it is on the channel in 6 stages. Let me know how the walk goes, best of luck. David.

[@dickeydosh]

Great video - really enjoyed the information. Are there many places on the route to grab food/drinks or a pub etc for lunch?

[@planwatchwalk]

Hello @dickeydosh There are not too many facilities on the route. There are normally some vans by the viaduct and a farm cafe/vending machines in the valley between Whernside and Ingleborough. I would recommend that you take the food and drink with you and use these as a way of supplement, if needed. I have a kit review for the walk kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5KslYuMoMpspck if this will help. There is also a flythrough at kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqPOl6KLadygpM0 Hope the above helps. David.
