Oliver’s final peak

Oliver took on the challenge of hiking the 3 Yorkshire peaks in honour of his mother, and he has successfully conquered the final peak!

With the support of staff and young people from Wibsey House and Grove House, Oliver finished his 3rd and final peak, Whernside, a 7.5-mile trek.

Beginning at the impressive Ribblehead Viaduct, this trail leads to the highest point in Yorkshire – Whernside.

On a clear day, you can enjoy stunning views of the Howgills, the Lake District, and Morecambe Bay. The climb up Whernside is gradual and offers a beautiful high-level ridge. Despite facing dark clouds, wind, and rain at the summit, the team’s sense of accomplishment remained intact.

The descent is steeper, with a flat section through the fields leading to the finish under the magnificent Ribblehead Viaduct. Fortunately, the weather improved as they made their way down.

Congratulations to Oliver for completing the challenge he set for himself. It’s a testament to the fact that anything is possible when you set your mind to it.

A big thank you to the staff and young people who supported Oliver – well done on this achievement!
