The Three Peaks of Yorkshire: I.T. Services Does the Yorks 3 Peaks

So, after successfully completing all three of the Three Peaks of Yorkshire, one per day, one in June, another in July and the final one in August, I pined away like someone lovestruck for another chance to be amongst the Ribblesdale mountains where the air is fresher, the grass somewhat greener and the weather altogether […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Pendle, Old Pendle…

..You were in a right bad mood on Saturday, you ever-so-naughty hill! Well when I looked through the windows at 8:15 a.m. on Saturday, 20th March I couldn’t help but notice that there was an awful lot of rain around. I had resolved to do the Pendle Hill from Barley Car Park route with a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Further Y3P training

Well, it’s been a while since I last did any blogs on here and it’s been longer still since I did any hill walking. The problem is that when you set yourself a challenge like doing the Yorkshire three peaks, one can be completely overwhelmed by the enormity of it and subsequently your body can […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Counting down to the 29th

…of January that is. Ever since December – yeah I know that wasn’t very long ago but humour me please, I have been counting down to the next time that I can get the chance to do Pendle Hill – the long way again. I had set a date of (you’ve guessed it) the 29th […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Spence where?

So, Saturday the 29th arrived and by ten passed ten that morning I was en route for Pendle as I had promised to myself. The weather was beautiful, especially for so early into year – compared to last January it was almost tropical. Maybe I would get a view from the summit this year – […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Edges and Winter Hill

Three Months / Three Walks, in preparation of…

…The Three Peaks…of Yorkshire! {YES! Again!} It’s no secret of my willingness to tackle Ribblesdale’s arduous and infamous twenty five (or thereabouts) mile and three peak challenge over the mountains of Pen-Y-Ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside (in ascending order of height). I attempted it in 2010 and abandoned at Ribblehead owing to lack of preparation and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Up the Pike…

…at Rivington that is, I am in no fit condition to ascend any of the other renown “Pikes” – Dollywaggon, Nethermost or Scafell – even Knock Pike would probably be beyond me (ah but what a view)! I aim to walk up to Rivington Pike tomorrow (Sat, 25/2/12). Photo courtesy of Mal Firth: Anyway, in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Pike: Done :)

Following on from the “Up the Pike” posting, and new for this year, I thought it only wise to write an informal report on my walk of 25/2/12. I had initially planned to arrive at Rivington at the alarmingly early time of 08:00! Common sense prevailed and I didn’t leave Southport until 9:45 to arrive […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
