Hi Graeme I’m enjoying you adventure, how many miles were you and Ian averaging per day? What was your longest and shortest days cheers mate.
@gw6797 2 ай бұрын
Thanks, I think on average it was about 13 to 14 miles per day but obviously when you aren't wild camping you have to match the miles with the availability of campsites etc. Our longest day was appx 20 miles as we decided to push on to a campsite we hadn't booked but we both found it a hard day as it was so hot

As we are both pretty new to Sea Kayaking we both love our newly aquired Kayaks but I suppose the obvious ones are the weight difference and the length for storage. They both roll really well and are really seaworthy boats

@@gw6797 The new version doesn't feel that revolutionary, which is fine as the Reload is pretty good as it is. All new versions had their prices going up here in NZ, and not by a tiny bit! I believe my NZ$750 Nemo went up to $900, and absolutely nothing changed! They haven't changed their price for a few years so it isn't that unfair but it still hurts!

So far I have done this twice, the first time just before I joined the Army in 1976 at the age of 21, 10 days camping every night with a 30kg backpack. The next crossing was 9 years later at the age of 30, this time from East to West and again a 30kb backpack and a 40kg Still Camera backpack and tripod. Now age 67 planning to do it again next year (2024). LOVED every step of the way apart from the section over Nine Standards too boggy and too windy, a very relaxing two week hike. Tony in Essex

My dog Smudge is a great mate 🐶👍. I'm lucky that my wife is a fantastic cook. I didn't bring too much food as you aren't far from civilisation but she had made the sausage cassoulet and dehydrated it in the Ninja and I sealed in a vacuum food sealer which are really handy. This was done because of the possibility of hotel being shut on Loch lomand like the previous year. Many thanks for the Sub too 🙂

The route over High Raise is slightly higher than Kidsty - we went that way to avoid the step decent and the endless slog along Haweswater - a good choice. I disappeared up to my thigh in one of those bogs, but on getting to Ravenseat the heavens opened but by the time I got to Keld all the peat had been washed off. End of May, beginning of June was tremendous weather - I was walking the Dales Highway early June - backs of my legs were much browner than the fronts as the sun was always behind us. lol
@gw6797 10 ай бұрын
We were recommended that route instead of Haweswater as we were told it was difficult in certain places with a heavy rucksack. Unlike you we were very lucky with the bogs and we certainly hit on with the weather as we had no rain for a fortnight
