A brilliant mix of speed, grit, humour, and sheer stubbornness got us through the Dales, and every single person should be proud of what they achieved.

🏔️ The Results

• 7 walkers completed all 3 peaks and 25 miles in just over 10 hours — an absolutely phenomenal time.

• 5 walkers completed 2 peaks and 20 miles, Still a huge achievement and a massive effort.

Everyone gave everything. Everyone finished safely. Everyone contributed to an unforgettable challenge.

🤣 Saturday Night Shenanigans – The Quiz That Nearly Started a Riot

After the walk, we headed to The Old Hill Inn next door for one of Steve Roebuck’s famous quizzes.

It was Boys vs Girls… It was competitive… It was loud… It was so intense it nearly kicked off back at the bunkhouse.

But it was brilliant fun and the perfect end to a huge day on the hills.

💛 Huge Thanks to Grant Saw Solicitors

A massive thank you to Grant Saw Solicitors, who had Randeep and Michelle walking with us and raising a fantastic amount for Smile of Hope.

September 2026 update...

On Saturday 3 October 2026, a team of supporters, friends, family members, SEND Network members and corporate partners (including our friends @ Grant Saw Solicitors) will take on the legendary Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge in support of Smile of Hope.

The challenge covers approximately 25 miles in a single day and includes climbing Yorkshire's three iconic peaks:

🏔️ Pen-y-Ghent

🏔️ Whernside

🏔️ Ingleborough

Participants will spend the weekend together in the Yorkshire Dales, taking on this tough but rewarding challenge whilst raising funds to support the work of Smile of Hope and the children and families we serve.

Why We Are Taking Part

Smile of Hope is a small but extraordinary charity that stands beside children and families at the toughest moments of their lives. We support children with terminal illnesses, young people with SEND, families in crisis, and children who need life‑changing heart surgeries that they simply can’t afford. From practical help and specialist equipment to inclusive activities, emotional support and emergency assistance, Smile of Hope steps in where others can’t. Every pound raised goes directly & quickly to children who need urgent help, giving them comfort, dignity, opportunities and hope when life feels overwhelming. Your donation genuinely changes a child’s world.

Funds raised through this challenge will help Smile of Hope continue making a positive difference to the lives of those who need it most.

A Slightly Mad Idea...

What started as a good idea has somehow developed into a group of otherwise sensible adults agreeing to walk 25 miles across three mountains in a single day!

Some participants are experienced walkers. Others may already be questioning their life choices. Either way, we're determined to support one another, complete the challenge and raise as much money as possible for a fantastic cause.

Thank You

Thank you for supporting the Smile of Hope Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge 2026.

Every donation makes a difference and helps us continue providing hope, support and opportunities to children and families.

Together, we can turn every mile walked into something truly meaningful.
