Backpacking – Walks With Olly

Walking the Cumbria Way: Day 1

As planned out in a previous post, earlier this year; the Cumbria Way would become my first long-distance walk since the Cleveland Way of September 2021.

Planning for my Cumbria Way Walk

Next month, I’ll be heading north to walk 73 miles across the Lake District, following the Cumbria Way. This will be my first long-distance walk since completing the Cleveland Way in 2021. As before; I’ll be carrying all of my kit and camping along the way!

Cleveland Way: Day 7

Saturday 18th September 2021

It was time to complete my journey along the Cleveland Way. For the final time on this trip, I’d pack away my tent and all of my camping gear, to soldier on for a final twelve miles on foot. At Filey, I would reach the end point and could then begin the long journey home.

Cleveland Way: Day 6

Friday 17th September 2021

This would be my penultimate day following the Cleveland Way – or, to phrase it different; my final full day on this National Trail. I awoke in the morning, a stone’s throw from Robin Hood’s Bay at the bottom of the hill. Fourteen miles of coastline ahead of me. Scarborough in mind for my final night of camping.
