Walks With Olly

Wasdale Head? Sore Head

It was time to complete my seventy mile long. In perhaps only another couple of hours, I could complete the Cumbria Way and arrive in Carlisle, just in time for lunch.

Walking the Cumbria Way: Day 3

Tuesday 20th May 2025

After a single shower of rain in the evening, I was ready to depart Chapel House Farm the next morning. A decent night’s camping and a site I’d happily return to another time. Perhaps when one day following the Coast to Coast Path.
