The Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge is on many people's bucket list, an achievable (but difficult) walk in an accessible part of the country. The fact the area is stunningly beautiful helps!The 3 Peaks book offers a detailed step by step description of the 3 Peaks route.However, there is much more to it than that:- Full colour photography throughout- A description of alternative routes up each mountain- History and Geology of this unique and fascinating area- Sections on Fell Running, Caving and Biking written by outside experts- The problems of managing the route, written by Alan Hulme from the National Park- Beyond the 3 Peaks: excellent alternative challenges for walkers in the DalesNearly 100,000 people take on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge every year. Most succeed but many do not.The walk takes place in some of the most stunning countryside in the country. Not only does the limestone scenery make the walk unique and attractive but the industrial heritage makes it memorable.The book is much more than a simple guide, it adds flavour and interest to the area and the walk itself.
