Video: Hundreds take part in Yorkshire Three Peaks charity challenge
Five hundred walkers from across the country scaled the three highest peaks in Yorkshire in a bid to raise £75,000 for the British Heart Foundation.
In just one day, participants took on 25 miles and climbed Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough to support the BHF's pioneering work in the area.
