The changeable weather tip is the most important one. We got caught out once. Never again without full waterproof and hot flask, even on a day that starts mild! Good video for preparation 👍
I’ll be doing this when the weather picks up, did the Edale skyline a few months ago and this is next on the list, loved your other vid of the actual route too, cheers!
Jamie, I watched your previous video of the Peaks Challenge, which was a great 👍. This is a fantastic debriefing video. I’ve climbed 2 of the Peaks as individual walks/ climbs but not all 3 on one go. Looking to climb all the 3 in the next month 🤞🤞.
Thanks for the tips. I'll save this video. I heard that Xylitol mints are a natural way to produce lots of saliva and stops the mouth from becoming dry. You can buy them in mints or gum. if anyone suffers from dry mouth a lot this will stop that.
I mostly agree with these, apart from one tip which I completely disagree with. Conditions can change drastically (on the tops especially) and all those signposts won't help much if the mist comes down. The top of Ingleborough is not well served with signposts and it is quite common for groups to wander around the summit plateau looking for the path down or to take the wrong path. Whilst many people undoubtably do complete the route without a map I think it is very irresponsible to suggest that a map and compass are not needed. Every year CRO gets called out to groups that are lost on the Three Peaks route. Interestingly CRO also suggest making sure that you carry a fully charged phone and a light that is separate from a phone. I would also add that the route is hardest to complete in either bad weather or very hot weather. There is very little shelter on the route so if it is hot you will constantly be in the sun. In these conditions sun protection makes a huge difference.
Maybe you don't always need a map but you really shouldn't be out on the hills without one, together with a compass and the ability to use them. You just never know when the weather's going to change or you take the wrong path by mistake. Better safe than sorry.
