THE CHALLENGE
The Yorkshire Three Peaks
The Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge is a circular walk encompassing three major peaks in the Yorkshire Dales. Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough are the best-known hills in this beautiful area of Yorkshire.
OUR CHOSEN CHARITY
There are over 100,000 people living with cancer in Merseyside & Cheshire.
The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, provides specialist cancer treatment for many of these people, through its unique network of care across the region, caring for a population of 2.4 million people.
The smallest of the three peaks at 694m, its name means ‘hill on the border’ (Celtic) or ‘hill of the winds’ (Welsh). A steep ascent with views across the Dales, because it is a little exposed, the rocky terrain makes an interesting challenge.
At a height of 736m this is the highest of the Three Peaks with views of Morecombe Bay and the Irish Sea. This is the highest of the 3 Peaks, a less dramatic ascent than the other two. And so, a slow gradual climb, with stunning views and scenery along the way.
With a height of 723m, one of the most popular peaks for its dramatic steep side, flat top with picturesque views from all aspects. It once had a circular defensive wall around it built by the Brigantes to fight the Romans. Another steep ascent is over quickly with breath-taking views, to a gentle descent into Horton-in-Ribblesdale.
We’re proud to share that our team have successfully completed our 2025 Deepbridge Challenge – Conquering the Yorkshire Three Peaks!
We strapped up our boots, packed our bags, and applied the factor 50 to take on the gruelling 24.5 miles across the stunning peaks of Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough. It was no easy feat (especially in the scorching sun!), but we managed it and were still smiling at the end—well, just about!
Most importantly, we did it for a worthy cause – supporting the Clatterbridge Cancer Charity. The Deepbridge Challenge is a fantastic annual team event and a true testament to the spirit and heart of our colleagues. We’re so proud of everyone who took part and those who continually go above and beyond to support meaningful local causes.
We are delighted to have raised over £2,000 so far for our chosen charity of 2025! Our donation page is still open to collect those vital donations, so if you would like to support the team and share your congratulations, please visit our JustGiving page.
To anyone who has already donated, we appreciate your generosity. We could not have done it without your support, so THANK YOU!
