Based on my view of the 3 Peaks route, you need trail, fell and road shoes![]()
Trail to the top of PyG
Fell for the descent and moor land crossing (faster to run parallel to the Penine Way, not on it)
Road from the farm (with the little bridge) to Ribblehead
Trail to the stream below Whernside
Fell up the side and back to to the farm before Chapel le Dale
Road to the Inglebrough start beyond the pub
Fell to the start of the paved slabs
Trail up the slabs, up Inglebrough and for first 2 miles of descent
Fell for the final 3 miles
Fell wins with 4
Trail 3
Road 2
