Equipment for the Yorkshire Three Peaks

Although physically easier than the National Three Peaks Challenge and requiring much less planning, the Yorkshire Three Peaks should not be undertaken without appropriate preparation. A modified National Three Peaks Challenge equipment list is included below, although not all would deem some equipment neccessary for a walk such as this.

As long as the challenge is attempted at a suitable time of year, daylight is not a problem. It is sensible to take a first aid kit, as a simple blister could ruin a well organised challenge, potentially loosing your sponsorship money.

To carry in a small hydration backpack, containing around 4 litres of water
