towzer 3 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 im doing the three peaks walk ( 23 miles) in a couple of weeks time dont know whether to take my 19 months old lurcher along with me for the company. any advice on whether it will be too much for him or not would be appreciated . my opinion is if i can walk that distance then the dog should easily be able to :11: the estimated time of the walk is 12 hours Quote Link to post

Guest kevsterjw Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 if its the three mentioned then the distance will be fine but will the terrain be ok for him? Quote Link to post
jessdale 416 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 the three peaks of yorkshire are pen-y-gent,wernside and ingleborough.It seems a long walk but it will be no problem for your dog mate. Quote Link to post

Fletcher 0 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Snowdon would be fine, so would Ben Nevis if the weather is good, although the loose stone under foot on the way down is a bit dodgy, but Scafell Pike would be dodgy the last few hundred metres you'll be stepping from one rock to another its pretty hard going when its wet, thats it they send you the same route as they sent us, I done it 3 times and it was the same route each time. Seen a few people air lifted off Scarfell. Good luck, rather you than me. Quote Link to post

Lennard 10 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Agewise I would say yes but it depends on how much exercise it gets normally...my bitch who does between 10-15 miles next to the bike regularly walked a distance hike of 20 miles without any problems. She fell asleep in my arms immediately in the bus back though. L Quote Link to post
