About North Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge

• While the North Yorkshire 3 Peaks
  challenge isnt quite as demanding as some other
  hiking challenges in the UK, youll still have to
  think about how youll make it across. Most
  experienced hikers will bring the absolute basics
  with them a lightweight raincoat, sturdy boots
  and a backpack full of knick knacks, but
  newcomers to hiking may not be aware of what you
  need to bring with you.
• If you or a fellow hiker has a medical
  condition that can impact their performance like
  diabetes, allergies or a heart condition, the
  issue gets even more complicated as you need to
  factor in medical supplies beyond the basic first
  aid kit. However, every prospective hiker should
  have these in their backpacks or on their person

Food and Drink

• A fairly obvious choice, but some
  hikers forget to bring food and drink with them,
  or bring food that wont be suitable for others
  (meat products for vegetarians and some
  religions, for example). If youre packing food
  for others, you need to factor in their dietary
  needs and preferences, since it may be several
  hours before you reach a village or pub, and
  hunger pangs arent very fun to deal with while
  hiking.
• For people without food allergies or
  other health considerations, a Trail Mix of
  dried fruits and nuts is a great, portable snack
  thats high in energy, lasts a long time, and is
  easy to find in supermarkets. A flask of boiling
  water can come in handy for a number of things,
  from a spot of tea or coffee to instant noodles.

2. Basic Medical Supplies and Training

• While some people can easily walk off a
  scrape or bruise, there are other physical
  injuries that can occur that require urgent care.
  In most circumstances, you wont need a First Aid
  Kit, but its better to be safe than sorry. If
  members of your hiking team have health
  considerations, make sure they have brought their
  medication with them, as they cant afford to
  have medical emergencies like hypoglycemia or
  anaphylactic shock halfway up a peak.

3. Flashlights

• Flashlights are extremely important if
  youre planning an overnight stay, or expect it
  to get dark early. While the UK tends to stay
  bright until around 10PM in June, hiking closer
  to the winter solstice means you need to prepare
  for the early dusk and late dawn. The ground
  under you can be dangerous if you dont know
  where youre stepping, such as marshes and bogs,
  sheer drops and potential tripping hazards, so
  having a tool for illumination of your
  surroundings is essential.

4. Phones

• Most people will already be carrying
  their phone with them as a force of habit, but
  being able to call emergency services is always
  important, regardless of how short your hike will
  be or how far you are from civilisation. Phones
  are also our one-stop-shop for everything
  hiking guides and maps can be downloaded to our
  device, nearly every phone comes with a
  flashlight, GPS and Map Compass App, as well as
  a camera to get some beautiful shots of the
  Yorkshire Wilderness.

6. Sunscreen

• As great as phones can be, they have
  their limitations poor 4G reception, battery
  life, and rain and mud can potentially damage
  them. Every competent tour guide should already
  have a map and compass with them, but if youre
  going it alone or outside of the tour guide
  system, its another thing you should always pack.

• The higher you go, the more likely
  youll be to get sunburnt, particularly on sunny
  days. While sunburn is usually not a big issue in
  our rainy, overcast part of the world, we tend to
  underestimate the power of the Sun during summer,
  and especially during heatwaves. Theres nothing
  worse than waking up with a sore and tender neck,
  shoulders and arms after what felt like a fairly
  normal day of weather, so do yourself a favour
  and bring sunscreen with you.
