Wainwrights Coast to Coast - Ennerdale Water to Borrowdale - A Hiking Movie

Join me as I hike this absolutely gorgeous 17.5km trail which is part of the Wainwrights Coast to Coast - starting out at Ennerdale Water YHA and finishing at Borrowdale YHA
The Coast to Coast was originally described by Alfred Wainwright in his 1973 book A Coast to Coast Walk. Wainwright's book has since been revised a number of times in recent years (most recently in 2003) with updates to the recommended route.
Wainwright's book describes the route in 12 stages, each of which ends at a settlement with at least some overnight accommodation nearby. If one stage is walked per day, with one or two rest days, the route makes a two-week holiday, and web logs of coast-to-coasters seem to indicate that this is the most common way of walking the route. However, Wainwright explicitly states that he did not intend people to necessarily stick to these daily stages, or even to his route. For instance, the majority of Wainwright's stages start and end at low level with a single up-down during the day: many walkers split the Borrowdale-Patterdale stage at Grasmere in order to maintain this pattern and avoid having two major uphill sections in one day. Splitting two or three more of the longer stages, and adding a further one or two rest days, reduces the average day-length to 10 or 12 miles and makes the walk a much easier three-week trip with time to "stand and stare", an activity much approved of by Wainwright.

Great view of the river from the drone. The wind must have been strong, to blow them trees out. Lovely view's again.

Я родилась в горах Кавказа. Кавказ - это тоже очень красивые горы. Склоны гор с низкой травой. Горные реки. Тучи. Снег на самых высоких вершинах гор. Сейчас живу на побережье Балтийского моря. На море красивые закаты солнца. Съёмки с дрона прекрасные! Очень красивая природа! Спасибо! 👍 Привет из Польши!

Hi, Nick 😊 When you showed those toppled trees, there's a house on my way tonwork that has a tree in their yard that fell like that. It took the left side of their yard with it. My town is still cleaning up after those storms and its been over a month. It's so beautiful and peaceful there. Thank you for taking us with you 😊

[@NickGoesHiking]

@amberhines3979 Nature can be so incredibly beautiful and powerful! It has to be the most beautiful and peaceful place I have visited yet

[@amberhines3979]

@NickGoesHiking I can believe that. You've been some beautiful places, though. I love to watch your hiking videos because, even though I know I can never go there, at least I get to see it

[@amrit_vr]

it's marvellous scene, i enjoyed bc of soothing background music and super cool green mountains, rivers, it's was funny, at 9:13 when you jumped over wooden door, but other person opened the door to pass and you were 'offff" 😀😀

[@NickGoesHiking]

Glad you enjoyed it :) Its a breathtakingly gorgeous area, my favourite in the UK We did have a good laugh about that after, I felt so silly 😅

[@Sonu-qg7qy]
