Hiking the Cumbria Way 2024 - a tough start!

Great video , thank you plan on doing the walk beginning of October

Nice upload Andy....... You're getting plenty of the UK's great trails in this year!

Hi Andy, great stuff, looks like you had the same weather as when you did the WHW. 😀
It’s a cracking trail, I did it at the beginning of May over 5 days. Loved every minute of it. 😀🥾⛰🏕️

Great video Andy
Hopefully the ticks left you alone too enjoy your trip, looking forward to part two 🤙🤙🏔️🏕️

Great vid.
Looking at doing the Cumbria way end of July.. definitely won't be in 3 days though

Fantastic

Quality mate 27 miles for your first day double drop that caffeine man 😂😂😂 just having a coffee whilst watching your video

Great trip Andy.

Nice video Andy, glad to see you back on the trail. Glad to see you are now going more light weight on your gear. The MO is a fantastic pack, wouldn't use anything else. Have used the lanshan for many trips but have now went to the X-Mid, great tent. Still too many bags lol keep up the good work. Oh! thanks for the mention on your last upload. Stay safe

Well that was a nice surprise! Just finished cutting the hedge and went to check out some YT vids in my comfy garden chair and up you popped with one of Englands great trail walks! Lovely film thanks, and look forward to next instalment 🤗

Fantastic! I just couldn't drink pints and walk so fast you must be in very good shape.

Well done Andy, enjoyed this, engaging monologue 👍

Great video, I can't wait to see what you say about the Langdale valley, stake pass, Langstrath valley section. I did that area a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved it. If you get a chance stay at the Chapel House Farm campsite some time, it's about 5 minutes past the Langstrath inn.

Awesome video Andy can't wait for the rest of the episodes 👍

Including taxes and duties are unbeatable. James responded quickly.

I stayed at Braysbrown Farm for a few nights ten years or so ago. It was £6 a night then so a tenner today is not too bad at all I think.

Loos and showers cleaned twice a day, with a separate loo block for when they’re cleaning the other block. Hot showers all day and cold running water. What more does anyone need?

It’s a lovely stroll to the little shop with cafe upstairs if it’s still there for breakfast.

Edit: that was the place I discovered sheep don’t STFU all night 😂

I’m pleased you are like me who can’t resist a good pub!! I’m planning a dog South West Coast Path week…done a bit twice before, and it’s got my juices flowing

Very nice walk, so sort of the walking version of Hashing?

Nice video. I’ve just kitted the entire family out with zenbivy lights. Absolutely amazing. They’ve just opened a UK website but no cheaper than US plus duties. Worth very penny. How heavy is your pack and tent? Cheers

3 hours 9 1/2 miles, you motoring🫡

That bull sign has been there for years, but no-one has seen a bull in that field yet. Did the Way in early May going North to South, cracking walk.

"The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun." -🌅🌆

Awesome video mate, cracking weather I'm doing this tomorrow can't wait ! Would love to see a review of the zen bivy with your big Agnes pad I have the same pad

All best pal

Great video, and amazing campsite, think I'll visit there myself soon. Also great little Harvey Superwalker you've got there, I actually prefer using paper maps over digital 👍

Good first day, I didn't get to Langdale until day 2.. I cant believe you stopped in the Britannia and Then the wainwrights as well... cant wait for the other videos

Do you find there is enough energy in the meals? I found that most are max 600 calories and with the amount of walking done goes no where near to replenishing your energy stocks

Wow the views from that camp site are stunning

Hi Andy where did you leave your car.

Wow great skills getting to Langdale that's some mileage especially after a long drive. Looking forward to the next section to Keswick.❤

Fair play. I did it the other way round in 2.5 days. Totally spoiled the journey by going too fast😅

Nice one, Andy. I have been checking out that route. My conclusion, so far, is that it might make most sense to just do the Conniston to Keswick sections. Looking forward to the next vids.

Well done Andy, can't believe you covered that much distamce on day 1, I only managed to get to Coniston Hall on Day 1 and I was done, subscribed and looking forward to the next episode🙂

Oof, I winced at that about the horseshoe route to "bag" a cluster of peaks. Not a fan of the practice. Quality over quantity every time, for me.

Insects Andy not bugs, lets keep 'Americano' as far away as possible 😊.

👍👍👍

Looks like a wonderful trip. And yes you're right, Real Turmat is Norwegian

Great vid andy,, that wasn't you last Monday or Tuesday was it at the britannia inn Elterwater having a burger?, if so I was one of the three mountain bikers talking to you,,
Probably wasn't you, haha,,

Great vid mate, I did some of that on the bike last week,, beautiful up there,

They aint cows !!!!!!

This was my first ever multi dayer and I loved it but I did South bound so I finished on the pretty sights rather then walking along the canals on the last day

Cracking distance with a late start and a healthy slug of pints

Well Done Andy. I've the same Lanshan myself, if you touch the tent on the inside will water come through if its raining with it being a single skin tent?

Nice video Andy, clocking up some serious miles this year mate 🥾🥾

"Will be double-dropping these two lattes" - Love it ! ;)

Just completed this today. Done it in 4 days and a morning. Fair play to complete it in 3 days. Some going!!!
