That looks ace. A bit beyond my capabilities at the moment, but working my way up to that amount of distance/elevation this year.
I'm doing the Vanguard Way at the end of the month from Croydon to Newhaven, which while not as hilly is still pretty hefty in terms of length. Splitting it into three days, so averaging c.35km a day.

Woah that’s a proper walk! If you can do that, I reckon Yorkshire Three Peaks will be okay. The steep ascents (and descents!) are particularly sapping, but Friends of the Three Peaks - and I guess National Trust/councils - have done some great work on the paths.

This is interesting I will try this. I
had not done any through hiking for years just day hikes until the last bank holiday when I did a slightly shorter route than you suggested here but again over three days. Detling to Folkstone following the North Downs Way. 20km first day, 25km second day, 20km third day. -
Which bits in particular did were particular bad, planning to do this over 4 days in mid september - unless it does rain quite heavily.
any campsites you would recommend?
This is my current plan. I am meeting some near Uckfield and a blank area of good campsites.
1 Croydon Marsh Green 34km
2 Marsh Green Burnt Oak 30.2km
3 Burnt Oak Arlington 29.1km
4 Arlington Newhaven 21.7km

Just realised there's a Walking thread here.
We did the Yorkshire Three Peaks (ccw from Horton) on Saturday. Second time and managed it a bit quicker!
A highly recommended route for anyone who's looking for a challenge. :)
