WILD CAMPING LAKE DISTRICT | Bob Graham Round hike | Long distance trail UK 🇬🇧

I was craving some Lake District wild camping, and had heard about an epic long distance trail called The Bob Graham Round on the Hiiker app (link to app below) Now this trail is usually meant for fell runners to complete an ultra challenge, but looking at the route, I thought what a beautiful hiking trail it would be.
It is a 63 mile loop trail that starts and ends in Keswick, it has a total elevation of 7743m and takes in a whopping 42 peaks, 39 of which are Wainwrights! This was going to be pretty tough with our full wild camping packs, but we were up for the challenge!
The Lake District national park is insanely stunning, and I needed the hiking training ready for The Tour du Mont Blanc I would be attempting next month. The Bob Graham Round hike would certainly be one of the most appropriate long distance trail UK to build up my muscles and I would also get to tick Scafell Pike off my bucket list in the process.

Hi Kerry, that's a big route for a novice hiker in normal weather, in that heat it's a big ask for the experienced, I'll give a big thumbs up 👍👍👍to those who said that's enough, I'll wait for a cooler day, Devan did really well but was showing signs of dehydration and heat exhaustion, looking forward to the next installment, take care everyone.
Thanks Nigel, yes he made the right decision to leave as he wasn’t getting on with the heat at all xx appreciate you watching 😄 it’s a fabulous trail!
It is great that everyone gave it a go and a very wise decision to stop when the sun gets to you. You don't want heatstroke out there and need a helicopter. As the team leader kudos for your no person left behind stance. Everyone did fantastic. Brilliant video, thanks for sharing.
🤗🤗 really glad you enjoyed it! Yes it was intense to say the least 🙈🙈 but I got a nice tan …. 😂😂
Well done everyone for getting on the trail and giving it a go. Sorry to see a few leave early but it’s best to be safe than sorry. It does look pretty tough in places, but the views and landscapes are incredible 🥰
🤗🤗🤗
😯 That really was hardcore Kerry. The heat during that week would have beat most people carrying full back packs.. A huge well done for part 1 👍😁 Awesome views and wildcamp spots.. Devan and steph Them mountains will always be there and a chance to tackle them climbs again .. when it's cooler.. 😁
Ahhh thank you 🤗🤗 yeah it was a tough one, but everyone came away with some great memories regardless of when they left xx
Well said Mike, always there for another day, and those conditions with the heat were ridiculous, look forward to seeing more of Devan and Steph when it gets cooler 👍👍👍☕️
Nige.
Oh dear, what are you doing indeed 😳 but fair play to you all for giving it a go! Those cows were comedy gold mind LOL!!! WOW what a sunrise and it is a right slog up Skiddaw but very well done and had to laugh at all those white legs and a 30C sun - yikkes! Mungrisdale Common has to be the most pointless Wainwright and dam shame about people feeling ill and you knee not playing the game but real pleased you got 'the view' from Blencathra. You would have been mad to go down Halls Fell with camping packs on and still the route you were given, would not have been the route I would have take, Scales is the best and easiest way down. Good to hear that Steph would like to go back to the lakes and very well done to her and Devan, he is not used to any heat all all being Scottish, never mind extreme heat. Yes I went up Steel Fell last year with a friend from Grasmere, as she did not fancy the steep way up and to be honest I did not either - you are really putting them through their paces. Fair play to you all, in that heat and on some of the ascents/descents, I thought you all did amazing! Cheers Alan
Thanks Alan, sorry for the delay 🙈 been so hectic the last month barely had a break in between trails so haven’t had time to catch up on much x hope your having a wonderful summer despite the rain lol 😂 yes it was a tough one for sure!
Sat on my train to yours ready to watch this ❤ so excited! But even more excited to see you 🤗 xx
Yay! Thank you! Glad you will be with me on the next one! X
Awesome loved it. The cow whisperer, made me laugh 😂😂
😂😂😂🙈🙈 so many cows!!! Luckily I’d had wine or I would have been pretty terrified
@@DrunkOnWanderlust 😂😂😂
Gorgeous wild camps! So sorry to miss this but I know my foot wouldn't have been up to it - huge well done to all! Devan looked so chuffed with his first mountain!
Yes a big achievement for him x I hope your foot is healing and we will see you on another hike soon 🤗
I thought i was going to witness a tent getting trampled at the beginning of the video, luckily they mooved off 😏 hard going with the heat combined with over packing, great effort though, love the lakes, looking forward to part 2, take care Kerry and Co
Thanks mark, yeah the cows were a bit scary Round the tents … I was thankful I’d had a few glasses of wine to calm the nerves lol
Oh no cows, you were very brave though. Those views are stunning. What amazing weather but i doubt i could walk up any hill in those temperatures. Thats a nightmare about the water sources drying up but you especially need to be careful in that heat better to be safe than sorry. What an amazing trail, thats ny sort of adventure. Vant wait for next weeks
Thanks for watching 😃 looking fwd to getting editing part 2 there were some incredible views!!!
Cracking first part . Tough challenge indeed ,
It sure is 😃 but so beautiful!!! X
🙏🙏👍👍💖💖well done to you all , Charlotte seems a bit of a character 😂
She is! Very funny lady 😃 she’s coming in the next trail too x
Great training for the cape wrath trail. I'm looking forward to that one 👍
You and me both! 😃😃😃 it will certainly be an adventure lol x
*_Hello... I like the natural panorama that you present in your videos, including I like and salute the adventure activities that you do.... greetings from Indonesia_* 👣🏕💯👍
Thank you so much 😀
Congratulations to all. Hope the dog had the decency to at least buy you a drink Kerry. 😋
😂😂😂 nope! Not even a half pint…. I was used and abused
Falling like flys on this one not suprised with that heat looking hard going atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
I seem to have a habit of killing people off on trails 🤣🙈 but this one was always going to be a tough one! Using it as training for the Tour Du Mont Blanc next month
@@DrunkOnWanderlust 🤣🤣🤣
Seeing a bit of a struggle does not a bad episode make, the opposite in fact, it shows a bit more of the reality that what you's are doing out there is not easy.
Beautiful scenery but nature can never be taken lightly in all its forms rain, hail, snow, wind, sunshine, it's a formidable adversary.
Great upload very interesting for many reasons. 👍
Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed the video … it certainly had its ups and downs, but like you said … it’s all a learning curve 🤗
well done everybody great effort tuff conditions .
i suffer with eptopic heart beats my self something i at to over come mentally to get back in the hills .
Fantastic ! Loved it. Looking forward to the next one. Well done all. 🌄🌄🌄
Glad you enjoyed it 😄👌🏻 it’s a great trail, and the scenery makes all the climbs worth it!
amazing job everyone
Thanks daddio
You have fun with cows don't you. They seem to leave me be except for those who come over for a nose but leave bored. Yup keep on the #LNT vibe all good. Getting a proper tan there Kerry gal. "Bloody horse flies" - and midges - I have a bug net all the time. Devon you're a legend, well done for doing it.
Currently trying to keep cool by the River Ribble in Ribchester - cycling about and looking for possible wild-camps and only 3 miles from home. I've got to get back up to Longridge Fell later - it's steep. Clitheroe tomorrow if it's not too hot.
Hi Mark! Ooh sounds lovely x I hope you had a nice time x yes midge nets are essential this summer, they are out in full force! X
Just stumbled across your channel love the video can’t wait to watch your others 👌🏻
Awesome! Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for subscribing 🤗🤗🤗
Great vid Kerry. 😊
Thank you 😁 this was a tough one!!!
That looked great, nice to see charlotte again
Glad you enjoyed it 😃 yes, she will be on the next trail too when we do The Tour Du Mont Blanc xxx
Brill, look forward to that, would love to join you all on a hike and wild camp adventure, but unfortunately we have set holidays where i work☹️
Great vid kerry well kept hair xx atb Rooney
Glad you enjoyed it 🤣🤣 when the hair gets too bad it gets hidden under the hat
Hi Kerry, back again as I love your comments, may I say your issue with the dog I can understand as you have an amazing leg, the other one is a bit dodgy though 👍👍☕️🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Oh wow. Stunning but it looks GRUELLING. You guys are amazing
Thanks so much 😊 hurry up and get in a trail with us soon!
Well done, hard going up some of those, never mind in that heat
Thanks so much x yeah it was a challenge but so beautiful 😍
@@DrunkOnWanderlust I’ve walked those hills, but not with camping kit, I’m not the fittest of people and think you getting similar folk out is truly great
Shame Devan got so ill, heat does the same to me very fast. He does incredible over those distances.
He’s a legend x just not used to that much sun ☀️🤗🤗 we had a great time catching up though
Great effort by all concerned. High temperatures and lack of water on their own is enough to end any trail attempt. Having to do so many climbs and descents back to back day after day is hard enough.
In my mind you all Smashed it and deserve a medal. Great video as always. Looking forward to seeing part 2.
Thanks so much 🤗🤗 that’s lovely x
Ace but that heat must have been unbearable, but then again I’m in Corfu next week doing some hiking 👌👍
Nice one! We hiked the Corfu trail last year it was spectacular! I hope you have a wonderful time and take plenty of water out with you as water sources are scarce out there x
Well done everyone ❤❤
♥️♥️♥️
Wow that was some hike!! Well done all of you 👏👏👏
Thanks mum 🙈♥️😃♥️
Great vid hun, narrated perfectly as always! X
Thank you so much! 😃 wasn’t sure if I’d got enough good footage for this vid, but I managed to put it together in the end
well done in this heat..i remeber my 1st time in cumbria.i did fairfields via seabelt think it was called.i was not prepared for the steepness or bad weather..my legs the next day ouch....
Oh wow, yes the boys did Fairfield’s and they said it was pretty hardcore x
Watching this while doing the Annandale Way and Hadrian's Wall back to back, won't moan about an ascent with the pack after seeing you guys doing that!
Oh wow!! I hope you’re having an epic time out there! That sounds fabulous :) xx
Hardcore !
😄😄👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 we have it a good go!!! Thanks
I've been waiting for this one since i saw you at the train station, sorry if i made you jump, i just wanted to compliment you on your wonderful hiking videos.
Ahhh I was just surprised 😂😂 I was rushing out to have a vape before getting my connecting train lol x glad you enjoyed the vid! It was fun bumping into you
Wow, I'm reliving climbing those fells many years ago when I was a bit fitter than I am now and only with a daysack. Some of those paths are a lot more eroded now than they were then which makes them very tricky. Well done to all of you especially in those temperatures.
So glad it brought back some nice memories for you 🤗 yes a truly beautiful part of the UK and I’m so glad I got to experience it and make some wonderful memories
Good decision making based upon the risks. The mountain and trails aren't going anywhere and you can revisit them again sometime in the future.
Thanks so much 🤗 yes I know the right decisions were made even though it was a shame when we were all enjoying it so much xx thanks so much for watching
@@DrunkOnWanderlust Kerry, I'm considering backpacking the Snowdonia Way next May/June. You video of the trek is very instructive and I purchased a guide for the trail from Amazon. Question: I've been wondering where I could stash a few extra clothes while I'm backpacking. For example, are there lockers at the airport that one could store an extra change or two of clothes? Or is there an internet-based group that supports hikers and backpackers like here in the US? Thanks for your videos and for all of your kindness. Terry Owen=New Mexico, USA
I heard Kerri's intro in the Midlands
I have a big mouth don’t I 🙈😂😂
Welcome to the Lakeland fells, as for carrying big packs on hot days not a nice experience. It's crazy when you think of the BG round being done back in 1932 in 23 hours 39 minutes, but how things change. In 2022 Fiona Pascall did it, but with a further 26 tops added to the 42 in a time of 23hrs 26mins, Fell runners are a hardy breed indeed.
Absolutely…… like bloody mountain goats!!! 😂😂😂
@@DrunkOnWanderlust You just look after your Knees.
another awesome vlog kerry, can you give me stuff i need for a hike got my rack sack , sleeping bag , stove , cooking stuff, thanks alot
Have you got a sleep mat yet? You also need waterproofs, first aid kit and water filter
@@DrunkOnWanderlust ok cheers
thank you kerry
Come to Indonesia, and try hike and camp here 🔥
I’ve been before, but not for hiking … only hiked up mount batur in Bali
@@DrunkOnWanderlust you have to try mount merbabu or mount rinjani 🔥
Mungrisdale common is that not just a random pile of rocks in the middle of a big field kerry 🤔
🤣🤣 yes! But it’s a big climb to get up to the field from where we camped xx
UA-cam recommend me your video and I am soo soo thankful, really great stuff mam.
btw,
I was wondering do you need an editor for editing your videos mam?
Ahh glad you enjoyed it x many thanks
Another brilliant upload as usual kerry. You are just great too talking to the sheep 😂😂😂
I would love to tag along with you on a trail camp.
Please do! It would be lovely to have you along, yes I’m honing my sheep conversation skills 😂😂👌🏻
@@DrunkOnWanderlust yea just let me know when you are going on your next trail.
At some point I'm looking to do the Cleveland way. Try and lose some weight lol 😂
Where is the buy me a coffee option on the Patreon Kerry, i am wanting to buy you a coffee, i did so before, it's just i like to as a small token of gratitude for the thoroughly entertaining videos.
I haven’t been. Putting it on my vids recently 🙈🙈 but that’s a lovely thought!

Thanks David 😁 Danni had to work, but she came with me on the Tour Du Mont Blanc, video has just gone live today
@@DrunkOnWanderlust Awesome. Just want to say that I really enjoy your videos. They are a breath fresh air.l 😀Please keep them coming.
And to think the fastest time to complete the whole bob Graham is about 12hrs20mins by Jack kuenzle from america
