Wainwright’s coast to coast / HIKING AND WILD CAMPING IN THE LAKE DISTRICT / ultralight backpacking

[@AshOutdoorsUK]

Hi guys! thanks so much for clicking on my video. The first two days of my coast to coast journey were probably the easiest... it gets a lot more pain staking in the next instalment. Please feel free to give the video a like and subscribe if you haven't already, much love Ash

[@billyaitken1713]

probs a bit late for advice now but if your feet are 'on fire' or tender, it helps to elevate your feet when you stop, especially if it's a temporary stop & you've still got a fair way to go. 😬👍

[@howardpotts5763]

When is episode 2 out ?

[@endurance-adventures]

What kind of drone do you have? Been considering one as they do take great shots

[@AshOutdoorsUK]

Ahhh I still can't believe you've done this! Well I can, coz you're awesome, but you know what I mean haha :D This is so amazing, what a journey 😍 that bit by the lake looked sketchy as hell, didn't imagine it'd be like that. Bet it was great fun though! Gorgeous editing & music in this, can't wait for part 2 ❤ Inspiring Xx

[@richardhunter7363]

Love Ennerdale, only 10 mins drive from where I live. Totally correct about the climate - the coast is dryer than you might expect for The Lakes as the prevailing clouds need to be pushed up by the mountains to cool and then to rain. Walked round Ennerdale where the West end is dry and bright but the East end is raining as you move into the mountains. Doing C2C in Sept 22 so watching videos to get an idea of the problems. When traversing Ennerdale, the south side route you did - shorter but technically more difficult - 1 scramble and uneven ground - the north side - longer but good flat paths and forestry trails.

[@AshOutdoorsUK]

Hi Richard, yeah what a change from the coast, all part of the experience, loved it so much! Hope you have a great trip next year. I’d definitely like to do it again at some point! All the best Ash

[@krisjust-trek6524]

I did the same thing in 2014, 13 days and 12 nights wild camping. Carried everything i needed and got supplies in the little villages I passed through. By day 3 i found Wainwrights pocket guide so accurate I posted my maps back home to save some weight (I'm a traditional map and compass guy). Raised monies for the Alzheimer's Society. It was a hard slog so I feel your pain, I loved every min of it (Apart from one night Camping in the old mines in Gunnerside Beck, swear down its haunted, couldn't pack up and leave fast enough at day break) and made some good friends including two young lads from America that made the trip over just to do the CtoC. Great vid, brought back some great memories.

Emerdale. 😁 Nice one Ash, good introduction to the trail. I don't know much about it, so I'll enjoy these.

Surprised more people don't use sleeping bags as quilts. I started doing it so my dog could get under on an unexpectedly cold Dartmoor camp. I added a hot liner to a three season bag, Bear already has a good layer of insulation, so we are good for 4 season.
