	Pen-y-ghent - one of Yorkshire's Three Peaks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		At 2273 ft this fell is actually the lowest of the area's famous "Three Peaks" but it is by no means the least spectacular, with its towering cliffs and escarpments, caves and potholes.
		Pen-y-Ghent is most usually ascended from the village of Horton in Ribblesdale (which forms a traditional starting and finishing point for the whole of the Three Peaks circuit).
		This route leads past several caves and potholes on the lower slopes of the mountain, including the quarry-like chasm of Hull Pot and the sinister slit-like mouth of Hunt Pot.

	The Three Peaks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The "Three Peaks" of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent dominate the skyline of the western part of the Yorkshire Dales national park.
		Although not the highest mountains in the country, these spectacular and distinctively shaped fells are undoubtedly impressive, towering as they do over the surrounding moors and countryside near Settle, Clapham, Ingleton, and Ribblehead - and they are of course very popular with walkers, climbers and ramblers.
		Geologically, the Three Peaks are all of millstone grit capping a limestone base, and as a consequence the area is also popular with cavers and potholers exploring the caverns which have been formed by the streams and rivers running off the fells.

	National Three Peaks Challenge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Three Peaks Challenge is a mountain endurance challenge in Great Britain in which participants attempt to climb the highest peaks of each of the island's three countries within 24 hours, using motorised transport to travel between the mountains.
		It may be extended to four peaks, by including Northern Ireland's Slieve Donard, or even five peaks by tagging on Carrantuohill in the Republic of Ireland.
		The great flaw in the Three Peaks Challenge is that success is to a great extent dependent on the speed of driving and the state of traffic.

	Ingleborough - one of Yorkshire's famous Three Peaks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		At 2,373 ft, Ingleborough, with its famous flat topped profile, is perhaps best known of the Yorkshire Dales' famous "Three Peaks" (the other two being Whernside and Pen-y-Ghent).
		The distinctive shape of Ingleborough is due to the local geology, a broad cap of millstone grit atop a broader plateau of carboniferous limestone.
		In the case of the Gaping Gill system, the main resurgence occurs at Beck Head Cave in Clapdale - adjacent to the main enterance of Ingleborough Cave (to which it is connected).

		Whernside, Ingleborough and Penyghent, the Three Peaks, all around 700 metres high, are probably the most popular outdoor areas in the Yorkshire Dales National Park due to the wild landscape, the limestone features, and the hill walking potential.

	Three Peaks of Yorkshire Challenge - Details of the challenge
		The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge is a walking challenge route with the circuit normally starting and ending at Horton-in-Ribblesdale, visiting the three highest peaks in Yorkshire - Pen-y-ghent (691m), Whernside (728m), and Ingleborough (723m) - in that order.
		This is a long and demanding walk, with a total climb of some 5,200 feet and good navigational skills may be required on some sections in poor visibilty.
		The peaks themselves can be pretty hostile in poor weather, and ideally walkers should have an average to good standard of fitness and stamina, and most certainly suitable mountain equipment and some outdoors experience before attempting the challenge.

		As the guidebook says, ‘the ascent of the three peaks in one day without using mechanical transport has been a recognised feat of endurance for almost a century’.

		Although Penyghent looks the most impressive of the three peaks at 2277' it is in fact the lowest of them.
		At 2415' Whernside is Yorkshire's highest peak but apart from that it has little going for it and in bad weather it can be a depressing place to be.
		After negotiating three stiles you cross another path at the foot of the hill before going down a lane.
