Thanks for watching. The views over Patterdale heading west were something else. Heading east you'd have your back to them most of the time. It was quite a wonderful days walking.
Thoroughly enjoying your east to west journey, I’ve paused this at 13 minutes to see if you walk along the length of Haweswater before ascending or follow Measand beck then over long grain, low and high raise to Kidsty pike, let’s see ! I live just 4 miles from St Bees so considering an east to west crossing too. Happy hiking.
Yep. I decided to go up that way. I think it was a bit of an easier climb, but it was still a long haul up there. Met a Canadian couple who had decided to come down that way as well. The wind on top was wild. There were quite a few wind blown walkers around up there!
I think I enjoyed the Coast to Coast more. The Pennine Way has some incredible and memorable sections - when it's good it's an outstanding trail, but I found so many of the long empty moorland bits in between bleak, unyielding and a bit of a slog. The Lakes didn't disappoint either - and I got lucky with the weather!
Brilliant video, love Patterdale and surrounding area, thanks for this, really enjoyed it.

My goodness, that wind sounded a bit strong! Stunning views of the lakeland hills, agree its the best way to do it
It really did make the hike. It was difficult even to stand up at times in some of the gusts. Reaching the top was just a wow moment

Wow, the views of the hills and lake are fantastic! I wonder if you dare to compare your trek on the Pennine Way and the Coast to Coast?
