Yorkshire 3 Peaks Step Out Challenge Fundraiser!

Thank you so much for joining us to fundraise for our work! We are here to support you and will send your fundraising pack once you are booked on. Exciting!

This challenge walk is in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park and summits three of the highest and best-known hills in Yorkshire: Pen Y Ghent (694m) Whernside (736m) and Ingleborough (723m).

The challenge starts with a steep ascent up Pen-y-Ghent, which means ‘hill on the border’, where you be greeted with fantastic views across the dales. After descending Pen-Y-Ghent, you will continue walking through the idyllic Yorkshire Dales, passing the Ribblehead Viaduct, towards the second summit, Whernside. Whernside is a more gradual climb with views of Morecombe Bay and the Sea from the top. The final summit, Ingleborough is another steep ascent, but its flat top means you will get panoramic views in all directions. You will then have a gentle descent back into Horton-in-Ribblesdale.

This is a very challenging walk, so if you are not used to walking a long distance we recommend the Dambusters Round as your first challenge.

Cost: £50 - To recover your £50 entry fee, we ask as an individual you commit to raising at least £250 for the charity. This amount covers one full bursary place on one of our retreats, or 5 places on one of our day walks. If fundraising this amount feels a little overwhelming, we still warmly invite you to join us and spend the day advocating for our charity with the donation of your entry fee.

Teams are also welcome, for example a team of 4 raising £1,000 would fund an entire Mind Over Mountains event, giving up to 18 people some much needed respite with a day in the hills and access to our professional wellbeing team.

If you would like to make a one off or regular small donation to the work of our charity, to help us support others and in recognition of your time with us, please click here. THANK YOU so much - we are a small charity and every donation is noticed and used carefully.

Frequently asked questions

Our fundraising challenge events do require higher levels of fitness than our normal walks and retreats, so we are always happy to chat about what's involved. Do just email us anytime!

We recommend our walkers wear walking boots with ankle support, walking shoes or off-road running trainers - the most important thing is having a more rugged sole/grip to prevent slips and potential injuries on rocky, muddy or uneven terrain. This doesn't have to be expensive or high-quality brands at all - Go Outdoors or Mountain Warehouse are generally very good value. 

We do work with a fantastic organisation called KitSquad who can help with providing second-hand kit so please do feel free to contact them with what you need and hopefully they can help.

We love dogs! But unfortunately we only allow essential guide dogs, to ensure a comfortable environment for everyone.
