Equipment for the Yorkshire Three Peaks

Although physically easier than the National Three Peaks 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 see some equipment as necessary 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
