    There is a campsite at Horton but it's more for tent campers. I would look at the numerous CL sites in Ingleton.

    There is a campsite with EHU at the Hill Inn at Chapel -le - dale which as you may know is on the route nesting up against Ingleborough. However you will never do the 3 peaks if you stay here.

    The beer is too good and it makes your legs go all wonky

    When we did the 3 peaks we stopped at Stackstead CL, at Ingleton. For the challenge do you need to start from Horton or can you select your start point?  There are also a few CLs near Settle, one we've used a few times is Giffords at Clapham.

    Write your comments here...no we just did one each day. That was hard enough. We will build up to doing all three eventually.  I did all these about 10 years ago. Was hard on the legs.

    Just had a brainwave.

    The other club has a Temp Holiday site for several weeks at Clapham each July/August. Costs buttons (£5 ish) and we have done Ingleborough ourselves from there. A number base themselves here for the 3 peaks. Good pub nearby(5 min walk) for food and drinks.
