Walking the Cumbria Way: Day 2

Monday 19th May 2025

It’s been almost a year now since I completed the Cumbria Way and I’m keen to finish my write up on this, while also recounting other walks I’ve completed since. In short: I’ve missed blogging and had never intended to leave things this long.

This is actually my second attempt at writing this post today; having accidentally deleted this morning’s completed work, at the point of publishing!

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.
