Our training holiday in the lakes

Niki and Beccy have been doing a shed load of training (unfortunately we must have eaten our way around the lakes as neither lost a pound) on there holiday just outside of Keswick. Here are some of the best photos. They covered 20 fells and 1 lake over a total of 58 miles! Just couldn't make 60 miles as the day light wasn't long enough.

This is me - Niki!

I'm sat on the side of Pen-y-ghent before the last climb to the summit. This is the first peak out of three and smallest.

More about the challenge;

The Yorkshire Three Peaks is most likely the first three peaks walk to become a regular challenge, taking in the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, usually in this order. These peaks form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge includes:

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge includes:
Pen-Y-Ghent - 691 metres
Whernside - 728 metres
Ingleborough - 723 metres

Most walkers would start with Pen-y-ghent, from the village of Horton in Ribblesdale - there is the option of checking in and out at the Pen-y-ghent Cafe. Bear in mind that the traditional Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge involves returning to your starting point to fully complete the Challenge.
