More helpfully, I actually found the stretch from p-y-g to Ribblehead a bit of a ball-ache. At least in Horton there's beer at the finish?

Also worth noting that the direct (steep) route up Whernside via Low Bank is used by special arrangement on 3 peaks race day and is not actually a recognised right of way.

It's on the map as a footpath and I have to admit I went that way. I'll avoid it in future. To be honest, it's pretty brutal and not the nicest way to the top anyway.
It's a big boring walk. That's all I can remember about it.We did it carrying a miniature pool table and had a game on each summit. I won the tournament
Solo Red Pencil on the way?
Amusing watching a well spoken bloke in the 110 group - who came down 45 min after us (we chatted on the way down so we know) telling someone else in the 110 that had just come in that he'd done it in 7:30 :D
Sounds like a good day out, makes me fancy another crack at it!
the paths are made up of flagstones..
