great first day Dean hit the jackpot with the weather don't blame you for taking the easier way round enerdale water ive walked all the way round and after about 15 miles that would have been tough. atb daz
Happy Memories of my 1986 crossing of the Country via this same walk, I will follow you to see whats changed (if anything). Good Luck Tony in Essex.
Thanks, Tony. I bet a lot is the same. The important stuff at least.
OK day 1 for me was St Bees depart time 04.00 after my friend drove me overnight after a days work (Friday) from home in Essex to St Bees, arrive Black Sail YHA 16.00 route via the South Bank of Ennerdale water
Not much has changed visually appart from the smaller villages have gotten bigger.
12:31 - sounds like you ended up on the C2C cycle path. Loved how you started talking about short cuts and then went up the cliff and round via Sandwith when you can follow the valley next to the railway line and get to the same place where you went under the line in less than 1.5hr. Walk tat cliff path at least 4 times a year between St Bees and Whitehaven. Looking forward to watching the series as I am watching many videos in prep for a C2C walk in Sept 22. 20:57 - advise to all walkers - stay on that footpath down that hill - the road is a bit of a rat run for Sellafield traffic so far more cars, travelling much too fast, go up and down that section.
Thanks, Richard. Yes I think was sticking a bit too rigidly to Wainwright's route when I could have made things easier. Next time I will probably change things up.
Hope you have a great walk too!
Thanks Dean - I did that section on Saturday with a heavy backpack. Tough going !! Good to see that I wasn't the only one puffing going uphill !!
Good work, Paul. Yes, Dent is hard work. Especially in the heat. Worth it though.
thoroughly enjoyed the video -thanks for posting. . we did it in 2017 and it rained horizontally! - west highland way next, once the craziness subsides.
Damned weather. Cant believe how lucky I was. Loved it. I've done the west highland way too. And the great glen way. They're both great.
Sorry - forgot to say thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
As you’ve done both ways around Enerdale water which would you advise for an easier hike? Thanks
Hi, the north side is longer but flat, easy and still very scenic. It is probably the easier of the two routes. The C2C route is nice and runs closer to the water but can be very rocky and can involve some scrambling in some parts.
It was good seeing a bit more of the urban parts on day 1 most videos don’t show too much of that. I’m going end of May. What watch do you use? Thanks
Upcoming Adventures have a great time when you go. I loved it. I think I was using the garmin forerunner 235. There are more feature packed watches available now. I think the garmin Phoenix has mapping. Pricey though.
