Camping – Walks With Olly

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!

To the Lake District

It won’t be long now before I begin the long drive up in to the north-west of England. In all my ten years of walking, I’ve never once set foot in the Lake District proper (unless you count a stop at Tebay services on the way up to Scotland back in June…). This trip could be interoperated as a bit of a celebration for my decade of hiking around the UK.

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.
