About this route

For when the the classic long run linking Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough just isn't long enough why not add in Plover Hill for a few bonus miles

Hazards & notes

Exposed ridges on Whernside and Ingleborough. Pen-y-ghent's upper south ridge involves rocky steps — slippery when wet. Very busy at weekends. No shelter on any summit plateau.

Emergency

Call 999 or 112 → ask for Police → request Mountain Rescue. Register Emergency SMS: text "register" to 999.
