The aim is to climb Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough in under 12 hours. At 736m, Whernside is the trio&#8217;s loftiest peak, pipping Ingleborough to the title of modern-day Yorkshire&#8217;s highest mountain. Popular with charity walkers, the challenge is a test of endurance, involving over 24 miles of ups and downs, cross-dale yomps and a net ascent of over 5000 feet. Best attempted in spring and summer (when weather and daylight hours are favourable), it&#8217;s a gruelling but hugely rewarding walk.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/3194845\/country-walking-the-yorkshire-three-peaks-north-yorkshire%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow,noopener noopener\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/2018champs\/Blog%20imagery\/Popularroutes_OSMaps_Yorkshire_Three_Peaks.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Whernside Yorkshire three Peaks&nbsp;\">\n        <\/a>\n        <p>Walking towards Whernside<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Good stamina is essential for this full-on walk, involving steep up and downs, twists and turns over rough terrain.

Around the back of Cribyn, some sections can get fairly boggy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you reach Gap Road you can either turn right and follow the road straight back to the car park.

There&#8217;s also a pleasant pub stop halfway round at the Grouse Inn, if you fancy it. This route follows mostly clear paths across open moorland, caution needed on cliff edges.

It is famous for Striding Edge,\nthe knife-edge ridge that stretches from the summit towards Ullswater. The\nchallenges of Striding Edge are not for the faint-hearted, and in winter a\ncovering of snow can make the challenge yet more testing. The good news is that\nyou don\u2019t need to tackle Helvellyn via Striding Edge, and even in winter with\nthe promise of snow cover there are relatively safe ways onto the mountain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/520952\/trail-magazine-helvellyn-walk-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow,noopener noopener\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/2018champs\/Blog%20imagery\/Popular_routes_OSMaps_Grisedale_tarn_Helvellyn.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"View of Grisedale Tarn from Dollywagon Pike\">\n        <\/a>\n        <p>View of Grisedale Tarn from Dollywagon Pike<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This route tackles Helvellyn from the west, which allows a relatively steady climb and descent from the mountain with an easy valley walk back to the start. Helvellyn is the highest point along a mountain spine that runs south to north through the heart of the Lake District. To the west the craggy tops of the Central Fells dominate the skyline, while to the east the rolling, grassy fells of the Eastern Fells lead the eye to the distant Pennines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The Helvellyn range itself changes character too throughout its\nlength, with craggy Dollywagon Pike playing the role of guardian to the ridge,\nwhile Helvellyn offers smooth western contours rising in extreme contrast to\nthe ragged ridges of Striding and Swirral Edges to the east. There is probably\nno better hill than Helvellyn to visit in winter when the sun is setting across\nthe Central Fells. What\u2019s even better is that when you\u2019ve climbed Helvellyn,\nyou\u2019ve bagged the third highest peak in England.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-buttons\">\n    <a class=\"btn second map\" href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/520952\/trail-magazine-helvellyn-walk-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Helvellyn less-trodden route <i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n\n\n<a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/map-of-the-lake-district-north-eastern-area\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paper map for Helvellyn: OS Explorer OL5 <i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.

The approach to Cadair&#8217;s true high point traverses a broad rocky ridgeline, climbs to a perfect pyramidal summit, then drops again before leading upwards through an ancient volcanic landscape to the trig point and shelter at Penygadair.

Later, the walk passes the mightily impressive Thor&#8217;s Cave, inhabited during prehistoric times and, without doubt, the dominant feature of the surrounding landscape.
