    How much of it are you leagally allowed on normally?

    I'd love to have a go at bits of it to see if I've got what it takes.

    Pretty sure there is a map on the 3 peaks website.

    Map here:
    http://www.3peakscyclocross.org.uk/course_details_notraining.htm

    You're allowed to ride from Ribblehead up the BW to where the FP joins from Whernside ridge and also the BW from the road up to PyG before the FP turns R to go to the summit.

    Not very much. From Horton up the road, left toward South House then the race goes off-ROW-route up to the top of Ingleborough. You would then need to ride up Ingleborough from the Hill Inn which you can for about 1Km which is a dead end as a BW. Going up Penyghent the BW goes about half way up.

    Not that much of it, Andrew. Some of it is footpaths and a fair bit (Simon Fell, for example) is private land.

    Bugger. I was thinking of doing a 1 peak to see what it was like.

    Do it on foot. Best way of recce-ing the course anyway.

    There are a couple of routes that go around Pen Y Ghent and Ingleborough using bridleways that you could do instead. Okay, so you won't get the full height gain but you'll get a good idea of the terrain.

    Don't "dare" me into doing it! It will get out of control and I'll get in trouble.

    We'll have to have a bit of a play out up there first before I make my mind up. Fancy it in a few weeks?

    yes. Of course I do.
    We can go up there for a walk. I will bring the kids in the pushchair.
    I got 2 kids in this to the top of Snowdon and back so the ruddy 3 Peaks should be well doable

    we rode over Ingleborough today – it was ace :o)


    some wrinklies tried to make a citizen's arrest but we didn't go quietly 🙂 The place in question wasn't a footpath either…
