1st Peak: After a slap up breakfast we tramped up the first peak, Penyghent without any major problems, aside from a little grumbling about the almost vertical last few hundred metres.
2nd Peak: It took us a few hours to walk to the next peak, Whernside, mostly through bogs, and the peak itself was a veerrryyy long ascent to a veeerrryy windy summit - damn fine views though.
3rd Peak: Well, that's where my story ends.....as I had to abandon things there due to a dodgy knee that was giving me grief when coming down the mountains. From the look of it, and the reports from the survivors, it seemed like a veeeerrryyy hard ascent, and then a race down to get to the final peak in time.
4th Peak: The beer garden of the pub we stayed at - very easy ascent and a lovely summit.....
Altogether the 1 peakers did 12 miles, the 2 peakers 18 miles and the 3 peakers did 26 miles, and we reckoned Ali, a four-legged member of the gang, did about 75 miles due to the constant running backwards from his usual spot in the lead. Everyone seemed to have fun...even the mad people who did the 3rd peak.
