Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge - Do’s and Dont’s

[@urdadhahahahahahaha2426]

I have never climbed a mountain, did no research and on saturday morning arrived with my friends at 5am, started at 6am and finished for 4:30pm. Baring in mind im scared of heights aswell i smashed it

Did you wear jeans?

[@onelittleatlas5645]

I did it barefoot with ankle weights, naked and ate nothing but a single dry oatcake in just under five hours. Safe to say....I smashed it too.

[@TheShmelly]

im bad with heights, i just wondered how i would be doing the three yorkshire peaks

[@thedean4431]

20 stone and did it in 8 hours.46 minutes

[@Eddy-Hope]

Good effort mate 🤛🏻

[@leetaylor7119]

Great video Eddy, very informative. I know some of what you might have said in the video is common sense but it's crazy the amount of people who don't use common sense by dropping litter and failing to keep dogs under control etc.

[@Eddy-Hope]

Cheers Lee. I think the main message is getting the right kit for the day and being aware of the mountain weather service. Our great mountain rescue teams are overburdened with unnecessary call outs

[@terrycourt123]

Doing this in September,great advice thankyou.

[@Mookiethedog]

Solid information Eddy. Love that you mentioned litter and specifically organic litter.

[@Eddy-Hope]

A bug bear of mine lol

[@RG-iw7py]

Yes, dogs poo stays for weeks (raw fed) or months (on dry food).

[@magscheshire8375]

Really respecting this channel already. Some great tips for the walks

[@Eddy-Hope]

Better to come 🤛🏻

[@666LUFC]

Great tips. Litter for me is a major bug bear and not just in the countryside. I'll be doing it for the 23rd time tomorrow so I can suggest a few extra tips. No curry etc night before, nowt worse than needing to park it mid walk. Cover your feet in petroleum jelly to prevent blisters and reapply if needed during the walk. If you are struggling with the steep hills don't look up, it can be soul destroying, admire the scenery when you summit instead. Don't rest for too long as you will stiffen up. Enjoy!!!

I remember doing the National Three Peak Challenge many moons ago when I was 25 with some friends (back in the 90's), we did it over 3 days, something I will never forget. I really miss my hiking days and he Kendal Mint Cake! (from Yorkshire) now living in Australia.

[@tonywarley578]

A good common sense,basic video which could be for anybody on any walk,doing helvellyn on the hottest day 2019 and encounted hailstone at the sumit,i offered my pac-mac and a cheap festivel cape to a couple who had gone up in cotton t-shirts,shorts,flipflops carrying a baby in a sling!

They must have been wired up.

The only reliable water source is at the Horton in Ribblesdale car park, so, I always start at Ribblehead for an anti-clockwise walk (with a full water bladder).That gets two peaks ticked off relatively easily with a water refill available ready for the trek back. Always a satisfying day out with plenty of options for people to do some, all or none of the walk as they feel able. I had one friend who volunteered to get the train from Horton to Ribblehead to make sure the Station pub was operating to his satisfaction, such a selfless person😅

Afternoon Eddy, just watched this and your Coledale walk videos. Thoroughly enjoyed watching them 👍your enthusiasm is Clearly evident for the great outdoors. Sensible, pragmatic advice for walking on the hills. Excellent point regarding ALL Litter to be taken off your walk 👍. Nice one Eddy 👊

He who fails to plan is planning to fail! I’ve wanted to do the Yorkshire three peaks challenge for a long time, plus the national three peaks too. When I’m back home long enough I will make time to do them… and I’ll have your advice stashed in my Grey matter when I do! “If there’s one thing worse than a murderer, it’s a dirty rotten stinking grass… and that goes for litter bugs as well”

[@Eddy-Hope]

😂 love your message Al

[@mikewoods7167]

Would it be possible for somebody to translate this to English for me because it looks like a good video. Thank you 😊

[@martianleaderrichy1520]

You and your partner have many years of this to enjoy if health stays on your sides as my father, his neighbour and some others all in their 70's and 80's still do long hill walks, mainly Northumberland and Cumbria. They have a map and "tick off" each section as they do them each year. I can't remember what the map is called as it's not something I do myself but I'll ask and find out. You'll probably know what it is anyway. Great enjoyable video and tips. Thank you 😃👍

[@Eddy-Hope]

Thank you for the great message bud 🤛🏻

[@r.b6170]

Is it a circular route ???? Thanks ( do you end up where you start from ?? )

[@Eddy-Hope]

Hi yes, check out my other Y3P video for full route details 👍🏻

Great video Eddie love the graphics you did! Really informative for someone like me who’s never done anything like that before. I’ve noticed that you wear quite light coats, is that so you can add and remove them easily depending on the changing weather?

[@relaxreflect5888]

Ops sorry Eddie this comment was meant for the newest video you’ve done about the horse shoe 🤦🏼‍♂️

Oh Eddie, I'm knackered just sitting here, gone are the days of romping for hours in the fells, unfortunately. I spent the last couple of days working and walking our village fair, here in Alnwick township Ontario, I walked a few klcks but felt it later. You are a hero so keep up the great work. If you get to Wales I'd love to see you interview the veteran who is building a castle in the wilds, one veteran to another would be great to hear you guys talk of your experiences.

[@Eddy-Hope]

Cheers Jim. Sounds like you’ve got a great life. I’ve never heard of this guy, could you send a link please

@@Eddy-Hope Hope you get this as the only info I got was from IforcesNews on you tube. I'm not exactly a tech savvy guy but I know what I like. The guy in Wales suffered from ptsd and eventually to try and fight it took to building a castle of dry stone wall, it looks fantastic and other vets are now involved and benefiting from the solitude and work, hope you find the link.

[@simonspencer397]

Christ, anyone would think it was like summiting K2. It such an easy walk that on weekends there are literally hundreds of people walking it, it's almost like a conga line. A lot of the path is so well made and easy to follow, it might as well be tarmac. It's basically so congested and sanitised, it's merely a step up from walking in your local park. Did it last month with the kids and we didn't need £1000 worth of gear to do it.

[@Eddy-Hope]

Not a helpful, or well thought out comment Simon. It doesn’t reflect well on you, or as an accurate description on the content of my video

[@OrangeBananaPear]

24 miles and the heights to climb is not to be taken lightly.

[@andrewpotter1217]

Agree totally with Eddy - a very ill thought out comment. Many people assume because it's Britain you are not likely to meet any adverse conditions. Not true from my experiences, we are out in the hills in the countryside facing in some cases maximum exposure. It is essential to dress accordingly and have the correct kit especially if you should wind up in an emergency situation. There are far too many people who take all this way too lightly - for eg I saw a guy descending Scafell Pike in flip flops ! Total idiocy and a reminder of why we have Mountain Rescue to dig these morons out of situations that could be avoided if they used research and common sense ! A very very poor arrogant and ill educated comment - very disappointing. ...

[@paulannable3734]

1. Wait for a sunny day. Climb Pen Y Gent, take your time, enjoy the views, spend some time at the top, have a steady ramble back down and maybe go for a nice dinner and a pint before going home 2. Repeat with Ingleborough and ( if you must, it’s really boring) Whernside.
