The Wharfedale Three Peaks Challenge
Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association is monitoring the Covid-19 outbreak closely. The event is still three months away and the situation may be different by then. So, at this stage we are still hoping to stage our event as usual. We are constantly reviewing the situation and will keep you informed of any changes. Currently we have suspended further entries to the event.
Meanwhile, look after yourselves and follow public health advice. At this time, we still hope to see you in June.
