As part of my hiking practice for #CumbriaChallenge2026 I managed to complete 2 Yorkshire Peaks
Week 1 - Pen-y-ghent
Week 2 - Ingleborough
The walk was challenging at times, especially with the steep ascent and rocky sections, but taking a measured pace made the experience enjoyable and manageable. The changing scenery, fresh air, and sense of achievement at the peak made it a truly refreshing and rewarding outing, leaving me feeling re-energized by the end of the day.
Pen-y-ghent, the smallest but steepest of the three peaks, is known for its distinctive lion-shaped profile. The scramble is the most technical section of the route. Ingleborough, by contrast, is a distinctive flat-topped featuring the remains of an Iron Age hill fort and is often the final peak tackled, typically when legs are tiring.
