Planning the Yorkshire Three Peaks

The Yorkshire Three Peaks is a 24-mile circular challenge over Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. All three are close together, but their exposed tops and different shapes can still produce noticeably different wind and cloud conditions.

The challenge grade gives extra weight to the weakest of the three summit forecasts. Use the individual rows to see which hill is limiting the day and whether the forecast changes enough to favour another date.
