Camping – Walks With Olly

Walking the Cumbria Way: Day 5

Thursday 22nd May 2025

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 4

Wednesday 21st May 2025

I emerged from my tent on this morning, with a view of an almighty Skiddaw beyond the dry-stone wall. Blue sky for the most part, sun already shining. A youth hostel with all facilities behind me. This was going to be a good start to my penultimate following this trail.

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.

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!
