I've walked the 3 peaks one time and remember that there is a quite long area of flat (approaching ribblehead?) which won't seem a problem finding a way either.
I'm gonna program the checkpoint map references into my Garmin for some GPS bearings and also carry the map and compass as is required.
Any advice please?
