TAKING THE ETHICAL ROUTE
NY3P aim to deliver their services in
nothing but an ethical and eco-friendly way. This
is crucial to both the preservation of the peaks,
and for minimal disruption to the local area and
community. Infact, NY3P try to BENEFIT the local
area when they are in town.

TAKING THE ETHICAL ROUTE
So, what are these ethical
considerations?
Multiple start points and control of participant
numbers to minimise impact on the popular route.
Sensible start times and consideration of noise
so locals having the challenge on their doorstep
is not a negative.
Collaboration with local businesses, so benefit
from their visit to the area.
Collaborating with charity, making the challenge
more than just 3 peaks, 24 miles and 12 hours.

SWITCHING UP STARTING
POINTS
There are many disadvantages in
starting the North Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge
from the same place every time. As well as
increasing footpath erosion, flora and fauna can
also be affected. So for these reasons, we use a
number of different starting points, usually from
local pubs. Allowing participants to sample local
ales and support local businesses too!

TAKING THE ETHICAL ROUTE
We only begin the North Yorkshire 3
Peaks Challenge after 8am, respecting the needs
of local communities and ensuring the surrounding
villages remain the quiet places that charm
people there in the first place.

CONSIDERING THE NEIGHBOURS
NY3P staff take care to ensure
noise is kept to a minimum and positive
relationships with the local community are
retained. They take care not to let any
anti-social incidents occur- like that one in
particular last year where a participant decided
to blast loud music from a ghetto blaster at 11pm
one night in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, which
inevitably caused a lot of anger amongst local
residents!

CROWD CONTROL
The popularity of the North
Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge appears to increase
year on year. Although this is great for the
local economy and charities, large groups of
participants walking through the North Yorkshire
3 Peaks route can cause a number of problems,
such as traffic congestion, pollution, littering
and footpath erosion. While these issues largely
affect local residents, local flora and fauna can
also become damaged, along with damage to
cultural, historical and natural features too.
The number of participants in every group taken
on one
of NY3Ps challenges is controlled for
minimal impact.

TAKING THE ETHICAL ROUTE
NY3P link up with various local
businesses when they are in the area, for example
using their local village halls or staying in
local accommodation, and eating and refreshing
themselves in local pubs. The bottom line is that
NY3Ps presence in the peaks is great for the
local economy.
