After careful consideration and helpful information from a number of you, The City Slicker opted to hike the Yorkshire Three Peaks last week. Arriving in Horton in Ribblesdale after only a few hours sleep we slogged up and down the three peaks - Penyghent, Whernside and Ingleborough - in nine hours, which I was informed was not too bad for an 'office worker'.
The scenery was incredible and the weather very kind to us.
My next venture is to tackle the West Highland Way in about four weeks time, but unfortunately can only take three days to do it, which may be a bit of a push!
Has anyone done it before and got some thoughts and suggestions on camping along the way? What is the terrain and the altitude gains/losses like? What wildlife, scenery should we keep an eye out for in particular?
Any suggestions gratefully received.
