Burrow, the widow of Leeds Rhinos rugby league legend Rob, admitted the route into the Peaks was “particularly challenging”.
“The boulders were making it really difficult to get the sofa up, and I think it’s the realisation that we’ve got to go back now as well.”
Garcia said the stunning views helped.
“It’s gorgeous up here, it’s so beautiful this part of the world, but it’s hilly and we’re feeling it in the legs, the arms and the shoulders.”
The pair were supported in their climb with the help of members of the Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team, including Ian Winterburn.
He said: “I have to say the ladies have done amazingly well. That’s such a tough route to get the sofa up. For the rescue team it’s average sort of terrain but for these guys with the sofa, it’s really rough.”
Before tackling the testing hill in Wincobank at the end of the day, the sofa will first stop at Reach Up Youth in Burngreave, a charity which supports young people with mental health issues.
They are back on the road on Thursday, when the route will take the sofa from Meltham to Holme Moss via Holmfirth.
The pair then hoping to complete their 80-mile (129km) trek through the region on Friday 13 November, when Look North will be broadcast live from Wakefield Trinity’s ground at the DIY Kitchens Stadium.
