Yorkshire 3 Peaks - Any Advice?

[penguin17]

I have decided to have a crack at the 3 peaks this Thursday as there seems to be a gap in the recent wet weather.  Plan is to park in Horton in Ribblesdale and attempt the route in an anti-clockwise direction, going up Pen-y-ghent first.   I'm going to start at around 0530-0600 and use a head torch, if needed, for the first part.   I have the OL2 map ready, with the full route marked and because I'm also quite excited my kit is ready to go    

 

I'm used to walking that type of distance in a single day but I'm walking solo and a bit further away from home this time so can't easily rely on friends and family should something go wrong.  The days are starting to get longer but I still want to be finished well before the sun starts to drop. 

 

I'm just looking for any advice and helpful tips in ensuring I don't come unstuck or can make things a little smoother on the day. 

TIA

Have just seen this.  I hope you had a successful day?

 

I did the 3 Peaks last year and found the hardest bit was the long stretch between Pen-y-ghent & Whernside, not because it was physically challenging but because it takes so long to get there.
