It is beneficial to know your estimated finish time during the Yorkshire Three Peaks, especially when daylight is limited. If you have a predicted finish time in mind before you set off, you can use the tables below to monitor your progress as you reach the summit of each peak. If you start the challenge without an estimated finish time, you can monitor your progress throughout the challenge to ensure you will finish the challenge before sunset. The challenge is to complete all three peaks and return to your starting point within 12 hours. Not everyone is concerned about his or her finish time, though, and completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks is a challenge within itself.
