Hide AdDad and a number of friends will accompany Dylan on this National Three Peaks Challenge - a total walking distance of 37 km / 23 mi, a total ascent of 3,064 m / 10,052 ft, all entirely self funded!
Known as the Yorkshire Three Peaks, the mountains of Whernside (736 m / 2,415 ft), Ingleborough (723 m / 2,372 ft), and Pen-y-ghent (694 m / 2,277 ft) served as training ground and were completed by Dylan and Team earlier in the year, in an excellent 8 hours and 39 minutes.
Dylan and Team are looking forward to Saturday - sore feet, blistered feet, and all!
