Dont take this film as a model, If you end up in deep darkness on any of the hills, you started at the wrong time. Start time (high summer) is best as late in the afternoon as possible. That depends on the mountain fitness of the weakest member of the party. Experienced, fit mountain walkers can start at 1800 hours. That makes you descending the Ben in dusk and starting up Scawfell in the very early morning with the light rising as you hit the slopes. Really fit people can do all the walking in under 8 hours which leaves plenty of time for the driving and eating.
@@MrFrank1tank They are mountains. Many of the people who do the Three Peaks Challenge are in terms of general mountain walking experience, limited. Being, as a matter of choice, on any of the three, in darkness and possibly quickly developing very adverse weather, is not a wise action. My advice stands, it is sound and based on very many years of experience. Start times of people at work are of no relevance.
@@cdraynes5129 your watching a video of me doing the national 3 peaks. I dont invite you to do it at night. Im a mountain leader so i have a little experience navigating during the night. Bore off
@@MrFrank1tank What an odd outburst safe in your anonymity. Why are you so threatend by someone having a different view to you of the relative merits of the start time for the 3 peaks? Bizarre. I have made my point even if, with your probably fake claim to being a "mountain leader", you just dont get it. Leadership in mountains involves considering the capabilities of the whole party and particularly the weakest. You have failed to grasp the point, it is not wether you or me can navigate on the mountains at night in possibly bad weather. It is about the capabilities of those young people with little mountain experience, who so frequently attempt the experience. Those inexperienced people can be misled (by you )into potentailly seriouis , even life threatening ,danger , if they follow your advice and end up wet and cold in a black night on one of the hills. There is no need to do that, a late afternoon start time is safer. All mountains get climbed in daylight. For anyone who is mountain fit, the three hills are relatively undemanding and with modern roads and vehicles, the driving is very easy, with time to stop and eat properly. For anyone who is inexperienced and not fit, it is a really difficult thing to do, potentially dangerous. I will say no more. others can judge you. I certainly have.
It's an odd challenge this one. It's not all about a person's physical ability, it's also about how fast you can drive between 3 mountains. What if your vehicle breaks down or you get held up by a traffic accident? I've always thought the Yorkshire 3 Peaks to be a better test of stamina. 3 much smaller summits but a 25 mile continuous trek, under your own steam, carrying your food and water - with no chance of sleeping in the back of a car or minibus for hours at a time between climbs.
Just out of interest why didnt you use the additional bolts at the top of pitch 2 to protect yourself at the pitch head and also the back up stake on the surface?
Well done! ... but what an absolute dingbat that guy was, climbing a mountain in sandals! Did you come down Snowdon on the Llanberis path? Hoping to do this in June.
If it's not called that then don't watch it. It's clearly not for you but outdoor active and other mapping systems mark it down as that so go and complain to them and when they change it my video will be outdated
@Rileys outdoor adventure Have done Bristly Ridge a few times and have seen loads of posts/ videos etc etc and have never seen it being referred to as what's above. I'm also from North Wales and siarad Cymraeg, it's Bristly Ridge😁
@@MrFrank1tankbeltin, mate, one of me neighbours just asked me do his starter an his is a 2008 luckily. So real easy to get to Unlike my honda which was a real pain to get at
Just found your video a mechanic fitted a new fuel filter on my van at weekend and whilst cranking engine over for fuel the start motor burnt out so this video has helped me incase I need to fit the new one myself
Im going tomorrow to do halls fell ridge. Decided to give it a go as I’m not a fan of heights and couldn’t ever do sharp or striding edge but thought this one might be a little bit more friendly to me 🤷♀️😱
I think there both grade 1 scrambles, I always felt they were roughly the same in exposure or skill needed. Have you tried sharp edge. If you do halls fell I'd say carry on you'll love it. If you ever fancy joining us we Do a monthly hike around the lakes and a monthly scramble your more than welcome
@@MrFrank1tank hi guys. Thanks for that. I feel sharp edge is just too much for me hence why I thought I’d try halls fell. I’ll sub your channel so I can keep an eye out on your walks and would be defo up for joining one or two for sure. Much appreciated. Emma
Hey mate my van has the incorrect battery in it. Is yours a 096 battery or do you know the correct code battery it should be? There’s 3 different sizes to choose from. Thanks
