Product Description
If you are new to walking in the Yorkshire Dales, you're in for a treat, as we trace our way up the Three Peaks. First though, we'll do them one at a time, giving a chance to savour the experience, as well as getting to know the area. Paul Shorrock is the 'local' expert who has brought together the whole 'Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge' adventure. He starts by exploring each of the three peaks through six day walks before moving on to tackle the whole challenge. Everything you need to explore these glorious landscapes and prepare yourself for the 12 hour Challenge is included in 'The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge':- - Fully detailed walk descriptions, with frequent timings to aid navigation, for the six day walks and the complete challenge. - OS 25k large scale mapping of all the walking routes. - Gps waypoints for the pin-point navigational accuracy that is so valuable for a successful challenge. - Full training, accommodation and local information for everything you need to know before attempting the challenge. The Three Peaks of the Yorkshire Dales provide some of the finest walking in Britain. With a combination of high peaks and stunning scenery the area is rightly popular with outdoor types, from leisure walkers up to super-fit fell runners. It always seems to follow that when you have a mix of high places and human beings, sooner or later someone will come up with an idea of a challenge of some kind. With the Three Peaks of Pen y Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough the solution was simple - do them all in one walk!

Format:Paperback
The Yorkshire 3 Peaks is a big enough challenge without having to thum your way through half a dozen guides all dealing with how to get round just part of the roiutre whilst then giving you far too much detail about things you dont need. well if your planning to do this fun and challeging event this is the guide for you. Its written by someone who not only knows the route but really enjoys it and, trust me can take a novice arround it and make the route facinating and really enjoyable. This is just the definative guide, its what you've been waiting for.

Not just a guide to the big walk this book it outlines sections that can be done independently as excellent day walks in themselves or as training for the big one.
Whilst it is full of essential advice, technical and navigational guidance, useful to either novice or experienced walkers, it is also just a good read, providing an abundance of information about this beautiful triangle of Yorkshire hills, obviously drawn from a mind that has great experience and a true love of the landscape.
Its also full of pictures to whet the appetite.

I wouldn't touch a 23 mile walk, but this book is more than that - or maybe I mean it's less than that: as well as the full challenge it gives six walks that each tackle one of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent, or a linking walk between them. So you can see how you feel after one or two of those. The first chapters on how the book evolved and was researched makes you feel like you know this man, he must be crazy but he seems familiar.

Good book to learn about the challenge and train up before you do it. Split into easy sections and a lot easier to read than getting the OS map out
