Ady & Meg.
If you know anything about the Yorkshire Dales, you are bound to know about the three peaks. Some super fit people choose to do all three in the same hike - 25 miles, taking the average person around 12 hours.
We on the other hand opted to do each peak on a different day, enjoying each one for what it was separately.
This peak is actually the smallest (in both height and hike length) but still isn't for the faint-hearted, as it requires a scramble to reach the top. Some of the rocks are quite big, so require hands and knees (or a lift from Ady in Flossie's case).
The views are well worth the effort though, and once at the top it is a fairly gentle path down.
As most three-peakers start with this peak, this hike (and the car park) has the potential to be incredibly busy. We set off very early on a Friday morning, and we would definitely recommend avoiding this hike on a weekend if you can.

I enjoyed this walk, but would have struggled to make it if Ady hadn't been able to lift me.
