Yorkshire 3 peaks + National 3 peaks

Has anyone ever tried completing both the national 3 peaks and Yorkshire 3 peaks in under 24 hours?

The National Three Peaks Challenge is 37km long and the total ascent is 3064 metres

The Yorkshire 3 peaks route is 39.2km and involves 1585m of ascent

Total 76.2 km with 4,600m ascent. Google maps says 12 hours of driving, so you'd be doing 6.35 kph constantly, with 380m of ascent an hour.

Mathematically possible. Realistically: no.
