more deets on aliloop-of-the-lakes, Northern England
This is my track adding six days to the Coast to Coast. Hit me up for the GPX.
Creatures of the C2C
The sounds of the Northern English countryside are new to my ears.
C2C: day 11, Grisedale Tarn to Haweswater
Rugged and beautiful all the way to Haweswater where the midges kept me in tightly sealed in my tent.
C2C: day 10, Mosedale Beck to Grisedale Tarn
It’s one of the best days on the walk with clear skies across the Dodds and no wind on Striding Edge.
C2C: day 9, Blencathra to Mosedale Beck, below Clough Head
The Coast-to-Coast continues through villages where a meal can be had before wild camping.
C2C: day 8, Keswick to below Blencathra
The mist continues and views are limited, but ends in a magical night next to a stream.
C2C: day 7, Seatollar to Keswick
The day is misty, but the climb is still lovey under the cloud to Keswick and a good meal.
C2C: day 6, climb on and have fun
It’s climbing on some gnarly crags before thunder comes and we escape in pouring rain.
C2C: day 5, Wasdale to Seathwaite
The climb up Sca Fell is in a white out which finally clears for great views and a cobble-stone walkway.
C2C: day 3, St. Bees to Ennerdale Water
The Coast-to-Coast begins with a dunk in the Irish Sea and picking up a pebble to drop in the North Sea.
