Timing of the Yorkshire Three Peaks
Annual timing
No official rules have been laid down as to the time of year when the Yorkshire
Three Peaks can be completed, but do remember that climbing the individual peaks
is very popular over the summer, so it is sensible to exclude June and July.
Because of the length of this walk, daylight should not be an issue if completed
during the summer. Paths are well kept and mostly smooth.
Timing on the day
Most would attempt the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge in twelve hours. This is
very much do-able by most able walkers, and is really just a long, simple hill walk.
The walk can be extended to climb a peak per day.
