YORKSHIRE THREE PEAKS - Bucket List Challenge Event
Join us on this bucket list challenge as we take on the infamous 'Y3P'.
This year, we are running this challenge event in support of & fundraising for the Ectopic Pregnancy Trust. This fantastic charity provides advice, support and care for those experiencing baby loss and we hope to raise vital funds for them to continue their invaluable cause that affects so many of us.
It is not essential to fundraise in order to take part. This is an open event for anyone to join. However, we strongly encourage all participants to fundraise what they can for EPT, with no expected target in place.
We encourage all attendees to book accommodation the evening before (Friday 13th September) in order to be up and ready for an early start. This will be a long day by any measure. Your guides will be staying at Holme Farm Campsite and meet you at the start of The Golden Lion Hotel, BD24 0HB.
Meeting in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, we first ascend the recognisable bulk of Pen-y-ghent, on to Whernside and finally Ingleborough. This is one of the most iconic hiking challenges in the UK and for good reason. Of course, the summits reveal breathtaking views but the valleys hold historic sites and natural beauty around every turn.
