This event is an attempt at the Three Peaks of Yorkshire Challenge. The Challenge is to complete the three highest peaks in the Yorkshire Dales (Pen Y Ghent, Whernside & Ingleborough) in one go. 25 miles (ish). 12 hours. Awesome!
We will travel there on the Friday, in uniform, pitch tents and stay a local campsite. We will be stopping on route for dinner at Settle, a nearby town.
Saturday is all about the walk. Up early, quick hearty breakfast and off. Aiming to kick off the challenge at 7.00am. Meaning we will finish at roughly 7.00pm. Head back to camp and get ready to go back into Settle for a well-earned feed.
Sunday will start with another early morning for another atte-. Just kidding. A lie in obviously. We will pack and head home. Depending on weather and enthusiasm, we may stop off somewhere for an hour and take in the scenery.
Please note that food is not provided. Friday is normally a visit to the fish and chip shop in Settle although other options are available and Saturday evening is normally the Indian restaurant in Settle, both come highly recommended.
This session is for Young Leaders working towards the Young Leaders award. If you are not sure whether or not you need to attend this session please contact debbie@resu.org.uk to check.
Once again we will meet at Birchen wood car park for our annual walk up the stream to the waterfall and back. On our return you will have the opportunity to jump / swim in the river under supervision.
