These maps will guide you to the peaks of The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge taking in the summits of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside & Ingleborough - usually in that order. To truly meet the Challenge you are supposed to reach the summit of all three in under 12 hours.
For those who may prefer to enjoy the journey and linger a little longer to really make the most of some stunning views these MiniMaps will help to make the route finding and referencing a whole lot easier.
Mini Maps are pocket sized, waterproof walking maps that use 1:25,000 scale Ordnance Survey mapping. No Origami skills required, Minimaps are easy to unfold, view, and when you're sure you're on the right path, to tuck away in a small, easily accessed place.
This pack includes 3 x 1:25,000 scale maps printed on A3 sized paper.They cover just the Three Peaks - Pen-y-ghent, Whernside & Ingleborough, with route guide cards for each peak.
Pen-y-Ghent
When beginning the Yorkshire Three Peaks in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, Pen-y-Ghent is the first peak to be ascended. From the car park, the path to Pen-y-Ghent can be found to the right, along the road to Brackenbottom farm, turning off to the left just before the farm itself.
Whernside
From Ribblehead, head left on to the B6255, and follow the path to the side of the viaduct. Continue North, crossing the railway, heading towards the peak of Whernside. To head towards Ingleborough, continue along the ridge, heading towards the B6255, and the Hill Inn.
Ingleborough
From Whernside and the Hill Inn, briefly follow the road to Ribblehead before crossing the stile to the right, and following the marked path. The peak of Ingleborough is marked by a cairn.
To head back to Horton-in-Ribblesdale, retrace your steps for 200 metres or so before heading off the ridge to your right, over several stiles and on to a lane, where your path heads to the left, and over several more stiles before ending back in Horton-in-Ribblesdale.
