Day three now well underway, having set off from Bradford with morning ... in the next couple of hours they'll drop back from Skipton, alley up over Queensbury, slide around Northowram and then ... then tackle the mighty Shibden Wall!

It's a tough climb ...
... made a little easier as below those white houses from the very bottom of the valley has a slip of fresh tarmac, but from those white houses all the way up, it's Yorkshire cobbles - 6" x 9" stones and a 1 in 3 climb overall.
From those white houses, it goes straight up, turns right for a short piece of flat and then a really tight switchback in the trees and the toughest section before a lighter climb to the very top.
I'll be popping across in an hour or so to get a good view from the top.
