 Whernside - 3 Peaks completed!
« Thread Started on May 3, 2012, 6:03pm »

Well it took me 6 weeks, not 12 hours but hey, that's the Three Peaks done this year!

It was great to do the three fab fells at leisure and view some sites you miss out when you've got your head down and feet moving non stop!

My hidden treasure on this Whernside walk was the waterfall on Force Gill - not to mention me and my pal being the only people there :)

Full details and pictures of the walk here:

Cheers

Have done the three peaks individually and agree about the advantage of taking time to enjoy them. Missed the waterfall on Force Gill, definitely looks worth a visit.

Agree with you both it's far better to do them individually and take your time to enjoy them, having said that I doubt I could get all 3 done in 24 hours never mind 12 !

Tom,
Nice photos, reminds me of when I was last there......... which was too long ago !

Well done Tom - still quite a bit of snow around too!

We did it in similar conditions and loved all three summits and the lack of crowds. :D

Well Done Tom

I've only done them individually too. Makes for three good walks rather than one ordeal.
