Yorkshire 3 peaks

We operate small-group adventures and will normally have 8 participants on this event.

The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge is open to people of all ages and abilities. The minimum
age to take part is 16 years, and those under the age of 18 must be accompanied at
all times by a responsible adult. We request that there is at least one adult present
for every two participants under 18.

The pace on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks is brisk as we need to ensure everyone makes the 12 hour cut off target.

Fitness is key for this challenge if you have not prepared then the distance and pace may catch you out. We will work with each individual participant to ensure they have a training plan to suit.

Unfortunately not…whilst we are dog lovers here at Advocate Events we have to consider all participants who may not wish to share a minibus with our canine friends!

We have 1 mountain leader for every 8-10 people.

A reasonable level of fitness is required to complete the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge. We will give individual advice to hikers based on their current level of fitness.

You will have a much more enjoyable time if you have a good level of fitness. Walking, running, swimming and of course hiking are all good ways of building up your cardiovascular fitness and will get you ready for this adventure.

Make sure you test your fitness on a practice hike like Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), or other steep challenge near you.

Advocate Events staff will meet you at the agreed pickup point and will be with you
for the duration of the event.

Our Mountain Leaders are fully qualified, vastly experienced and great company. They are also trained first aiders. You will also have full support on the ground during the event. Advocate Events staff have organised and participated in many 3 Peaks Challenges so rest assured you are in safe hands!

Although the event is designed to challenge you, we will not put anyone’s safety at risk and support will be available at all times. The Advocate Events team is on hand every step of the way, to help and advise you.

We will also accompany you on your return to an agreed drop off point after your challenge.

There are facilities at the base of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon and a cafe at
the top of Snowdon (if open). If you are caught short on the mountains our guides will
discreetly show you where to go!

There are well defined paths up to and between each summit.

We will stay in comfortable accommodation as near to Horton-in-Ribblesdale as is possible.

You will be sharing a room with an ensuite-bathroom. Rooms are twin occupancy with a small number of single rooms, which carry single supplement charges, should one be requested.

Rooms are based on single sex occupancy; couples will be kept together. We will ask you as our challenge date approaches whether there is someone in particular you would like to share a room with.

As with any outdoor event, we are unable to predict the weather so each participant
must be prepared for all eventualities. You will need to carry wet weather gear
and warm layers with you on the day of the challenge.

Whilst we arrange the appropriate public liability and employer’s liability insurance we
strongly advise all participants to take out their own insurance to cover them for personal possessions which can be arranged for around £10.

We also advise you take out insurance to cover the cost of the event should you become injured or unwell and have to cancel the trip after the cancelation period stated in your Terms and Conditions. If you require further information please contact us.

Due to the nature of this outdoor activity, participants should accept a certain element of risk. Our guides will do everything in their power to minimise the risks where possible. In the interests of safety all participants must abide by any decisions made by the
guides.

We would love to hear from you. Just give us a call or drop us an email, we have real humans always on hand to help.
