#backpacking

On this video myself & @PaulMessner backpack the Cumbria Way ..An long distance hike from Ulverston to Carlisle..We hike over 80 miles across 5 days covering some of the Lake District's finest scenery..Stopping at camp sites along the way join us for part 2 of this amazing trip..

[@TimHudspith]

Such a great video, I think this is my 5th or 6th viewing. Love the scenery, the narration, the Blue Tits, the jagwars, the gammon & chips - love it all.

[@Hengists_Wild_Camps]

Great video Andy. I especially liked how you explained things along the route (I've always admired your knowledge of the places which you visit), coupled with your easy going presenting skills. I was totally engrossed with watching, so much so, that I felt like I was there with you on your journey (minus the up-hill, out of breath, sweaty bits 🙂). I thoroughly enjoyed watching this from start to finish. Brilliant stuff mate. 👍

[@AndrewBeavers]

cheers pal its years worth of walking,camping & studying maps of these places that enables me to look at places & recognise the skyline etc..glad you enjoyed the trip tfw.

[@davehobson1045]

Just for a second I though you were sprinkling in that stream😂😂

[@milesfromanywhere.]

Another fine vid Andy, I don’t think you could’ve chosen a better weather window 😂. Good call missing that final wild camp like, the pub was deffo the option. Nice one mate. Dave 👍

[@AndrewBeavers]

cheers dave ayy weather couldnt have wished for better..it was perfect looking back..we wanted that wildcamp but it was blowing strong wind up on high pike..the camp site,showers & pub grub and pint swayed us though lol..

[@mikeholden5909]

great video mate , we walked the Cumbria way more or less same time as you i think. we set off from Ulverston on Friday 16th June and finished in Carlisle Tuesday 20th. Loved every bit of it but i laughed when you said the path through Stonethwaite was uncomfortable on your feet , we all said exactly the same , our trail shoes were perfect for the smoother stuff and like you i had no blisters at all . Thanks for posting this i will show it my mates im sure they will enjoy the memmories .

[@AndrewBeavers]

thanks mike..we set off on monday the 5th from ulverston & arrived in carlisle on the friday..yeah that stretch really did pummel our feet it was probably the worst part for walking..the trail shoes i wore the hoka speedgoat 5 were faultless..apart from hot feet due to the hot weather id no blisters or sore feet..really good shoes.

[@seanhague60]

Just wanted to say that I'm absolutely loving both your and Paul's videos of this.

[@chriswhite2714]

What a video Andy, one of my favourite things to build dry stone walling love it, that one looked really well built as well look forward to final chapter 👊👍🥃

[@ChrisJB]

Tremendous Andy. Your film should be used by the tourist board promoting the CW as you are showing it in a really positive light. I have a soft spot for the quieter Northern Fells so to see you walking through them was great. And of course Lingy Hut holds recent memories for me. Caldbeck is a nice place. I've not been for many a year but remember mooching round the church and churchyard there. I'm liking the look of a bit of campsite camping, with all the nice facilities. Looking forward to the grand finale! ATB, Chris

[@AndrewBeavers]

feels very different does the northern fells to the centrals etc..has a howgill feel to them & of course a lot quieter..lingy hut is a nice little place one of the ones that are well kept & looked after..lovely village caldbeck the site is just a plain & simple one but does the job nicely..cheers chris.

[@WainwrightWalksWiaLocalLad]

Another great video Andy👌... looks like you're really getting into multi day backpacking 🤔 I seem to remember a video when you and Paul were having a chat... saying you didn't think you'd ever do any longer distance treks 🤔. TFS, cheers Alistair 👍

[@AndrewBeavers]

when i referred to long distance it was more to the c2c or pennine way etc..up to 80/100 mile is quite do able over 5 days where as the previous would require a considerable longer time frame.

[@jonm4989]

Looks a lovely trail Andy. Well filmed as always and I always enjoy it when you share your knowledge.

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Such a wonderful hike. Love all the beautiful landscapes on the way.

[@gainesy_walks]

Great video, that view of Langstrath is insane you don't see it until right at the edge. We were tempted to catch the boat up to the top 😂

[@carolfitton2007]

Andy, your vlogs just get better and better 👍

[@edshike7581]

Doing great Andy loved the videos, just waiting for the last chapter, well done pal as always love the vids🇬🇧👍

[@vaughanleak9542]

This trip with u and Paul had been such an enjoyable watch. Is so nice seeing places I recognise and have been my self I was paddle boarding on Derwent just the bank holiday and stop off at the spot you had on your video absolutely 💯 fantastic carnt wait for final episode

[@adrianbates7621]

You lads couldn't have picked better weather...... does it get any better 😂 stunning place, especially the Langdales, and stake pass, probably the place I've visited the most in my life. Taking my daughter there in July, for the first time, we can't wait 👍 another brilliant video Andrew, awesome lads!

[@thewanderingforester]

Must make a real change walking past all the fells instead of going up them. Enjoying this journey with you.

[@MarkTayloroutdoors]

Fantastic mate, lots more cracking views and you certainly know your stuff in the Lakes, reeling off all the names. I was hoping that lad would jump in the water for the vid lol and that jag on the trail, insane, surely they must have realised something was wrong. Looking forward to final part Atb Mark

[@AndrewBeavers]

you'd be surprised what you come across in the hills & valleys mark lol..

[@trooperwolfie]

Lovely route that, I've enjoyed watching yours and Paul's progress. What modification have you made to your X mid door? I was out in mine last night on kinder scout.... myself and my mate stayed on the northern side thinking it would be quiet on a Friday night....how wrong we were...there were about 7 of us all along the edge and fairbrook naze lol. Thankfully all responsible wildcampers like us👍🏻

[@AndrewBeavers]

can be a popular area around fairbrook now unfortunately,never used to be it was always one of the quieter areas..the door ive clipped in a short loop of elastic to the mitten hook bit where the inner clips to the outer,then just a plastic carabiner clips onto the mid panel guy..pretty simple mod to do.

[@typo4000]

Quite a contrast to your summit wild camps and extreme weather outings, but great to watch all the same. Thorougly enjoyed the narration and fantastic scenery as always, and maybe a bit easier for oldies like me to relate to. Good weather, flushing toilets, hot showers and pub grub are climing higher are increasingly on my check list. Thought I'd find out out what the YT Transcript feature did. Had me choking on my mug of tea. Hillarious! 🤣🤣 👍👍👍

[@AndrewBeavers]

having the option of toilets,showers at the campsites was a bonus..made the journey a whole lot more enjoyable for sure..

[@angelaknisely-marpole7679]

I met a chap in a sports car once, trying to get up the Dale Road from Hayfield!

[@Shan-outnabout]

Well done Andy you sound like a tour guide great to hear you sharing your knowledge. I plan to do the Cumbria Way next Spring ❤

[@AndrewBeavers]

great stuff you'll enjoy it..take a good 5 days at it & enjoy it.

6:47 was that a Mandalorian quote that was snuck in?

maybe 😉

[@garyparker7494]

If you did the trail again boots or trail runners ?

[@AndrewBeavers]

trail runners %100...

[@cuprajake1]

Hi, can I ask what the things are that go over your sock and around your trainer are please. Cheers

[@AndrewBeavers]

they're the inov8 mini gaitors.

[@howardmcknight9773]

I thought I heard you say in a previous video that you were staying at the YHA in Keswick, was it fully booked up, do you think the trail runners are similar to Vivobarefoot, I have a pair of Vivobarefoot and they are really comfortable on grassy surfaces but when walking on stony paths you can feel on the underside of your feet that you are walking on a stony path.

[@AndrewBeavers]

staying at the yha was an option but not at £40 a night...the hoka's have been great but not sure how thay'd compare to the vivobarefoot as iv'e not had any experience with those.

[@howardmcknight9773]

@@AndrewBeavers I remember once when staying at Patterdale we stayed at Noran Bank Farm and it was only £1 dearer than if we had stayed at the Youth Hostel there.

[@MagzyOutdoors]

Where are your gigs from Andy?

[@AndrewBeavers]

theyre nomad glasses pal..made from 100% recycled ocean plastic which i think is a great cause..quality glasses too..

[@MagzyOutdoors]

@@AndrewBeavers thanks pal! Quality videos. Keep up the content. Could watch it all day 👍🏻

[@xix94]

Question Before you eat breakfast do you brush your teeth ?

[@AndrewBeavers]

yes always washed & teeth brushed before breakfast.
