Walking the boggy part of the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge Walk?
Q. I am intending to do the Three Peaks Yorkshire this May. Having read some comments, I am concerned about the boggy bit, I have some mobility probs, ie-am unable to bend my Knee beyond 80 degrees, is the boggy bit gonna be too much, ie - will I easily loose my balance.
Is no alternative route considered acceptable to qualify as completing the three peaks challenge?

A. Unfortunately, the section across Horton Moor can be boggy - particularly after heavy rain and the passage of many pounding but determined feet.
Unfortunately, this boggy area is very wide and pretty much unavoidable. However, if you choose to do the walk in the summer and after a longish dry spell you should not have any difficulties since it won't be that boggy - more just a bit squelchy and soft really.
Give it a go - you'll enjoy it.
Hope this helps
