Coast to Coast. Part 1. The Lake District.

Great video which shows how wild, empty and stunningly beautiful much of the Lake District is once you leave the towns and villages.

Love the lakes. So pretty.

[@MyJazz66]

The best video I've seen on the coast to coast .love the chilled out way you took it on . To point I'm thinking of doing it myself I was put of by the thought of 26 mile days . The 10 to 14 mile days make the hike look much more fun.

[@gonehiking9297]

Thanks so much for the compliment! Yes I agree, allow yourseof more time so you can make the days shorter. 2 weeks is perfect for the C2C.

[@guerrierweg]

We were that father and son wild camping! Thanks for the mention 😁 Mate, great video. Stunning shots, particularly with the drone, and enjoyed the humour too. It was like Lucas and me were back on the trail with you... Can’t wait for the next instalment 👍💥

Brings back good memories, if i do again, would take much less kit, but i am not sure about trail runners, as i like dry feet and some ankle support, I love BlackSail Thanks for sharing

Watched your coast to coast trip and I have to say it is the best documented journey I've seen. Not only did I enjoy watching it, but it inspired me to definitely do it. I thought once you left the lake district it wouldn't be worth doing. Ha! How wrong I am. Thank you so much!

Great video mate. I did the Dales Way this year; now I'm trying to decide which walk to do next. The Coast to Coast is one option - it would be the third time for me. (Other options - Cumbria Way, St Cuthbert's Way, Offa's Dyke)

I did the Cumbria way 4 weeks ago, loved it. Highly recommended.

@@Andy-LucyGSD Did you do it south to north? How was the end? I heard that it might be a bit anticlimactic.

I really enjoyed the Cumbria way. Go SOBO, that way you get the most boring day out the way first. Theres nothing wrong with the last day. Yes its flat and poorly signed but it skirts a river and has its own beauty. Lots of long grass so get soaked on a wet day tho!

I went up to St Bees 5th July nobody about started in 50mph winds and lost my rain cover for my rucksack to the Irish Sea!. For some reason I didn’t feel ready to take on the C2C so left at Ennerdale. I was meant to go in May. I’m now hoping to have another go next May. Just started watching this, you’ve gone to a lot of effort with the camera.

[@gonehiking9297]

I really enjoyed it this time. The weather plays a huge part in that. The first time I did it,it rained 24 hours a day for 5 days and was miserable. I would have quit if i was solo. Only carried on due to 2 great friends.

[@SDSsongs]

OK, I'll ask. I come from the heavily forested woods of the Pacific Northwest in the US, when one has all the cover one wants when the Poo Fairy starts to sing her irresistible song. When you're wild camping in locations this open, what do you do about communing with nature without traumatizing your fellow campers?

[@gonehiking9297]

There's usually somewhere to pop off to. Behind a rock some where. In the uk There's walls and hedges to hide behind. Often walk through a town or village and plenty of campsites or pubs...

Maybe Westwardd Ho! To Padstow/Newquay. That's a pretty rugged and beautiful stretch with wild camping opportunities...

[@MrCW1979]

Great vid mate 👍🏻 ... I'm doing the walk with a pal hopefully in July. How much of the trail is sign posted, is there lots of map reading to do ?

[@pauladams6969]

According to everybody else's blogs, the signage is terrible in the lakes. However, from Shap, its like you cant get enough of them - virtually every corner is a signpost. I am going to start the walk when I am out of bandages (cellulitis at present). I reccomend taking at least a paper map with you as the lakes in bad weather can be an interesting adventure to say the least. Good luck on your adventure.

[@gonehiking9297]

Thank you. The c2c is not very well signed. I tend to use my phone as GPS. OS maps is about £20 a year. You can also use guthooks app and pay for the route mapping about £9. Loads of people use view ranger but i have never tried it. I would take paper maps as back up. I used Harvey's strip maps (waterproof) they are good. 2 cover the route. You can generally tell where your going from a map without the need to take bearings, just reading the topography. Occasionally checking the gps to check your on route. You
