Yorkshire Three Peaks Support Chauffeur
Support driver for the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge — Horton drop, Ribblehead meet, Chapel-le-Dale checkpoint, hot food waiting at the finish.
The Yorkshire Three Peaks (Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, Ingleborough — 24 miles, 12 hours) works far better with a support vehicle at each road-crossing than with a lift booked at 04:30. This is a specific brief we know well.
Booked by charity teams, corporate groups doing the challenge for wellbeing days, and by serious walkers wanting a pain-free finish.
Horton-in-Ribblesdale start → Ribblehead viaduct meet → Chapel-le-Dale checkpoint → back to Horton.
The silver Mercedes-Benz V-Class is a luxury MPV seating up to 7 passengers with generous luggage space. Share passenger and luggage details when enquiring.
Pre-dawn start (05:30 in summer). Finish 17:00–19:00 depending on pace.
£520 full day for a single support V-Class. Second vehicle for larger teams.
- Hot flasks and food at each road crossing (soup, coffee, energy bars)
- Dry-kit bag rotation — walkers change base layers at each meet
- Medical kit and blister care in the boot
- Photograph at each summit road-crossing
- Hot fish supper waiting at the pub finish (Golden Lion, Horton)
- Ribblehead viaduct road-crossing is 5 hours in for most teams
- Chapel-le-Dale is where the challenge is won or lost — 9 hours in, one peak to go
- Sub-12-hour finishers get the certificate at the Pen-y-ghent Café
Can you carry a walker who drops out?
Yes — that's the point. If someone can't continue at any road-crossing they ride to the finish in the support vehicle.
Yes — regular business. We take photos and video for your fundraising page as part of the day.
We can pre-collect from Harrogate/York the afternoon before and drop at the Golden Lion or Crown at Horton.
