Top 10 Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers in Yorkshire, England
Yorkshire (/ˈjɔːrkʃər, -ʃɪər/; abbreviated Yorks), formally known as the County of York, is a historic county of Northern England and the largest in the United Kingdom. Due to its great size in comparison to other English counties, functions have been undertaken over time by its subdivisions, which have also been subject to periodic reform. Throughout these changes, Yorkshire has continued to be recognised as a geographical territory and cultural region. The name is familiar and well understood across the United Kingdom and is in common use in the media and the military, and also features in the titles of current areas of civil administration such as North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.

Seen from the top of Pen y Ghent and knowing that in about 6-8 hours you will be looking up at its vast bulk, takes some beating mixed emotions! Variety of terrain on the approach in, followed by a relatively short scramble up. Take your time and watch where you put your feet! Your respect for the mountain will be rewarded.

Picked the perfect late October day to tackle this walk for the first time. We parked up mid-morning at the Golden Lion Hotel, paid our £2 honesty parking, then set off into Horton in Ribblesdale to find somewhere to eat before our day's walk. Horton in Ribblesdale was closed! The Golden Lion Hotel didn't open until 3pm, The Crown Hotel didn't open until midday. The Pen-y-ghent Cafe was closed (permanently, it seemed). A zoom back into Settle was needed just so we could buy a sandwich and some water. So, be warned! Pack a lunch or make sure you have a good English under your belt before you arrive in Horton, because you'll find nowhere to eat or buy food anywhere there before midday. The walk up Pen-y-ghent was - when we finally set off - amazing! A good, steady ascent gives you the most fantastic views. The short clamber up and over rocks at the very end of the walk was huge fun and our sense of achievement when we reached the Trig Point was immense. We had wanted to take the diversion to see The Hull Pot on the way back but managed to miss the signpost! One for next time.

The climbing centre very kindly made space for my son and some friends to have a group session on the occasion of my son’s birthday when the planned party venue were unable to fulfil their booking. Despite the short notice it was a great hour of climbing and all those attending were engaged and had plenty of opportunities to climb. The staff are used to teaching kids and had plenty of strategies and tools to keep several ten year olds fully involved and encouraged to try their best at the various challenges. I want to thank Jonny, Josh and Emily who all helped rescue my son’s birthday party - really appreciate you all!

A brilliant day out all round. The peregrine falcon and the golden eagle were something else! Please go! Thanks in particular to Andy & George who were so knowledgeable and entertaining & obviously passionate and caring about the birds. We had free admission from the hotel, but it is so worth giving a good donation. We have visitors coming from France in October and we’ll without a doubt be making the trip from Leeds.

9. Yorkshire Three Peaks Walk

Reviewed By keithydee - St Helens, United Kingdom
I have done this walk numerous times over the years , the latest being October 2020 in just over 6 hours and I have done it the traditional route, reverse and starting on different mountains first. It is a good day out with decent rail connections at Ribblehead and Horton in ribblesdale if you don't drive. There is plenty of camping around both Horton and on the road out to Ingleton near Ribblehead and several bunk houses in the area. The best time to do this is summer for the longer days. As with any longer hike (or run) do not underestimate it simply because lots of people complete it every year, even in summer it is not unusual to be in the cloud for the first couple of summits, you will usually get wet at some stage. You should always have food, drink, map and mountain kit. Some sections are Clint and Gryke so good boots or fell shoes are a must, particularly when it is wet as it is very smooth in places, ankle rolling stuff. Depending on your route you will have at least 1 steep ascent and should be relatively fit to complete the route, 5100 feet of climbing overall regardless of your route. Currently the footpath up onto Ingleborough from Whernside is closed at the top so there is a steep detour by the stone wall 1/4 mile to the left and mid week there was absolutely nothing open in Horton so do not rely on buying what you need when you get there. Over the last few years the footpaths have improved dramatically but knowledge of the route and a map is still a must as the weather can close in and there are lengths without signage.

WOW What a weekend !! If you want to learn some basic navigation skills then come on Will's and Adam's weekend course. Adam was so good at getting his message across, very easy to understand. He initially gave us a 13 point self assessment questionnaire so we all knew the standard we we're at. Out on the hills we learned about orienteering the map correctly, using a compass, contours, recognising landmarks from the map, breaking the route into manageable sections, handrails, catching features and attack points. Pacing and Timing. Overall a great learning weekend, highly recommended. The best I've been on !!
