#wildcamping #coasttocoast #lakedistrict
Hi guys and thanks for checking out part one of my coast to coast adventure.
I decided that I wanted to hike from one side of the U.K. to the other, wild camping along the way. Join me for part one where I tackle the first 45 miles in two days.
I hope you enjoy watching as much as I did filming!
I did this walk to help raise money for a local charity, STARS, who offer support and counselling for children who have suffered a loss.
It’s a great charity and I’ll leave a link to their website below. I’ll also leave a link to the virgin giving page if you’d like to support them, and finally a link to my video explaining why I chose Stars to support
Hope you enjoy part one, part two should be out in around a weeks time
Much love.
Ash

Hi guys! thanks so much for clicking on my video.
The first two days of my coast to coast journey were probably the easiest... it gets a lot more pain staking in the next instalment.
Please feel free to give the video a like and subscribe if you haven't already, much love
Ash
probs a bit late for advice now but if your feet are 'on fire' or tender, it helps to elevate your feet when you stop, especially if it's a temporary stop & you've still got a fair way to go. 😬👍
When is episode 2 out ?
What kind of drone do you have? Been considering one as they do take great shots
@@endurance-adventures I use the DJI mavic mini
Ahhh I still can't believe you've done this! Well I can, coz you're awesome, but you know what I mean haha :D This is so amazing, what a journey 😍 that bit by the lake looked sketchy as hell, didn't imagine it'd be like that. Bet it was great fun though! Gorgeous editing & music in this, can't wait for part 2 ❤ Inspiring Xx
Hey Claire! Thanks so much! And thanks for all your support, couldn’t have done it without you... there were some proper sketchy bits, and all took its toll. Had a nice rest half that sorted me out! ☺️ thanks as always for watching. Have a great evening x
Great video, fantastic scenery,
Thank you! I loved this adventure, pretty epic 😄
U r doing a wonderful job by helping this charity, will watch all your videos
Thanks so much, hope you enjoy the others
Ash
Wildbeare sent me. Subscribed and will watch part 2 tomorrow.
Thanks so much, hope you enjoy the series 🙏🏼
Ash
best coast to coast vid I've watched. Doing it next week, can't wait
Ahh thanks so much mate, really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed and good luck for your adventure ⛺️
Ash
I did the same thing in 2014, 13 days and 12 nights wild camping. Carried everything i needed and got supplies in the little villages I passed through. By day 3 i found Wainwrights pocket guide so accurate I posted my maps back home to save some weight (I'm a traditional map and compass guy). Raised monies for the Alzheimer's Society. It was a hard slog so I feel your pain, I loved every min of it (Apart from one night Camping in the old mines in Gunnerside Beck, swear down its haunted, couldn't pack up and leave fast enough at day break) and made some good friends including two young lads from America that made the trip over just to do the CtoC. Great vid, brought back some great memories.
After walking 22 miles all meals taste great 😀
You’ve got a very good point there mate 😅😁
Thanks for taking us along with you,looking forward to watching your other videos.
Be happy.
You’re welcome, and thanks so much for watching
Ash
Well done in hitting 6k big man. Well deserved.
Thanks so much buddy! Can’t quite believe it 😅
Great video Ash, really enjoyed that. Some cracking views and you captured it well, roll on part 2!
Cheers guys! Hope all is well with you?
Ash

'I don't know why I thought it was going to be easy' this will be me in a week. Thanks for sharing... I'm going the other way... Dreading your downs cause their my ups 😂
Ohhh you stared the easy side… you’re brave, how are you getting on?
Looking forward to this Ash 👍
Thanks you mate
Great going Ash , that bit near Robin Hoods chair is so sketchy . Some big miles on first few days , great editing and music onto the next one atb Dave
Cheers Dave, this comment got lost in translation… sorry for late reply
Ash
nice 1 buddy well done with ya swollen feat🤣🤣
Lol, cheers mate, they weren’t pretty by the end of the trip 😂
👍 So, Ash is not only walking a ridiculous distance to raise an incredible amount of money for charity, (20+ miles a day) he's also carrying the additional equipment to film it, giving us great views and footage, and then editing it, just so we can enjoy and follow along his journey! WOW! This guy deserves some credit! Good luck till the finish Ash 👍
Ahhh thanks so much mate! I really enjoyed the whole process here, and so glad I have the memories on film!
Hope part two lives up to this one 😂
Thanks again
Ash
Well done . Love that 👍
Thanks buddy! 😊
Great first video mate.. I am planning to do the Avebury to Ivinghoe beacon walk, 87 miles camping along the way should do it in 4 days as I def won't be walking 20 miles per day lol. but that's a good starter for me before taking on the coast to coast....
Cant wait for part 2 mate
Yeah mate that will be great little prep session for ya! When you doing that then!? I wouldn’t mind doing the icknield way that finishes at ivinghoe 👌🏼🏕
@@AshOutdoorsUK Am thinking sort of end august begging sept when its a bit cooler..
Think that one is 110 miles id be up for that one too..
Cant wait to be honest
Love Ennerdale, only 10 mins drive from where I live. Totally correct about the climate - the coast is dryer than you might expect for The Lakes as the prevailing clouds need to be pushed up by the mountains to cool and then to rain. Walked round Ennerdale where the West end is dry and bright but the East end is raining as you move into the mountains. Doing C2C in Sept 22 so watching videos to get an idea of the problems. When traversing Ennerdale, the south side route you did - shorter but technically more difficult - 1 scramble and uneven ground - the north side - longer but good flat paths and forestry trails.
Hi Richard, yeah what a change from the coast, all part of the experience, loved it so much! Hope you have a great trip next year. I’d definitely like to do it again at some point!
All the best
Ash
Well done Ash Don. T push yourself mate
Thanks mate, was a great adventure
Thanks for watching
Ash
Wow that was some stunning views ,big effort on the last bit ,cracking mate 👍
Been saving them up for my trip away
Cheers col mate, glad you liked them! Have a wicked holiday buddy
Ash
Nice 1 -
Good effort mate
Atb 👍🏽
Thanks Dave! And thanks for watching
Nice one Ash. Taken me a while to get round to watching youtube as been mad busy but I enjoyed this. Liked the recap that you did over the map. That Tarn on the second night looked perfect.. looking forward to watching part 2, atb Joss
Hey joss mate, hope you’re well buddy? Yeah, really was a perfect spot, just needed me msr so the Tesco bag didn’t keep me awake all night 😂
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
@@AshOutdoorsUK am good thanks mate. Had my first wildcamp in 8 months at the weekend so am back on it👍 Yeah there s a lot to be said for ultralight kit but you need the right conditions. When I started out I kept the weight of my kit ultralight, using a tarp often but after a really windy night in Snowdonia I wouldn’t tarp it in the mountains again, I just love my sleep too much! A good tent brings good peace of mind when its blowing a gale!
Great Video Ash!!
Thank you mate
Hey you have done so-so well on your first section of the route. You must have worked so hard to keep filming while being tired and concentrating on the walk and route. Looking forward to the next episodes along the way. Well done so far! Cheers, W :)
Thanks mate, it was tough but in an enjoyable way! Really loved every minute (well maybe not every) 😂
Thanks for watching
Ash
Just found your channel mate. Really enjoyed this video. Watched it on the TV with my first coffee of the day. Hoping to complete this myself next year or 2023.
Hey mic, glad you like it buddy! Had such a good time, would definitely do a few things different, you’ll absolutely love it! I think I may well do it again at some point
Thanks for watching
Ash
Brilliant mate 👌👌👌
Thanks Andy mate 😊🏕
Awesome mate, great edit aswell
Thanks Nobby! Was such fun looking back at all the footage! 👍🏼
Cool first video mate.
I know them areas well and you done really well.
Kit looks decent to, will you be doing a what worked and what didn't video after it's all ended? Would be good to hear your views on reflection etc.
Looking forward to part 2
Yes! I’ve already filmed it as soon as I got back so that it was fresh in my head!
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
Good start mate, it’s a hell of a thing. I can’t imagine the pain that’s about to come.
xxx
Thanks Dan! It’s really cool looking back on it all now, was epic!
Thanks as always 😘🏕
Brilliant can't wait for part 2 we'll done 👍
Thanks buddy, and thanks for watching
Ash
Awesome mate.. top man 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽. got me proper buzzing for my turn next month 😬
🌊⛰🌊
Thanks buddy! You’ll absolutely love it, it’s tough going in places but so worth it!
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
Glad you took my advice and powder your feet…. It makes such a difference for morale and personal admin if you include it in your routine…. Take it from an ex infantryman who has tabbed many many miles in all sorts of environments back in the day 👍✊
Utmost respect mate 👍
Thanks Jason mate, it really did feel good after having wet feet all day! Thanks for the tip!
And thanks for watching buddy
Ash
Cool vid love this
Thank you! And thanks for watching
Ash
One of the best videos I have seen on here in a while 💪🏼
Ahhh thanks Steven! Really appreciate that mate! So glad you liked it
Thanks for watching
Ash
Well done Ash. Hardcore start. Can't wait for the next video.
Thanks David mate, gets tougher for me in the next one 😅
Amazing video
Thanks so much mate
@@AshOutdoorsUK i would love to do this mate. Can't wait to watch the rest of it 🤙🤙🔥
Wow Ash well done looking forward to next part but also dont want to watch after seeing what's coming up
Fantastic scenery hope you didn't get to much rain 💪💪👍🏴
Thanks buddy! These the next day was probably on a par weather wise, but did get some good for the last few days so all good 🙏🏼
Watched it all Ash. Enjoyed the trail and stories very much. Have a cool week. Mark
Thanks mark, hope you have a great week too mate
@@AshOutdoorsUK A pleasure. Yeah, a productive one.
Looked brutal, 20 mile days are ok along a river but over those mountains are extremely hard. Great effort though and what a great camping spot on second night 👍😀
Hello mate, yes... hills take their toll don’t they lol. That was one of the best spots I had on the trip, loved it
Thanks for watching
Ash
Wow Ash! Stunning scenery 😍 Iffy looking path edge by the lake there 😬 Looking forward to part deaux and the saga of your swelling trotters😉 xx
Lol, yeah there were a few sketchy parts for sure!
The trotters do get pretty dodgy! 😬 thanks for watching
Ash
Amazing video!!!!
Thanks, glad you liked it.., was an epic little adventure
Ash
Yes, you’re off!!! Looking good and strong. 💪🏼
Thanks 😊
Hats off to you mate, it looks like the trail is working you hard but you keep pushing it that extra mile.
Cheers buddy. Yeah kept on plodding but loved it! Thank you for watching
Ash
Thoroughly enjoyed that, looking forward to part 2! 👌👌
Thanks mate! Hopefully out on Thursday 🤞🏼
EPIC. looking forward to watching the rest of the adventure! 👍
Thanks so much mate, much appreciated
Ash superb mate, well done, tough going, but you're smashing it. Well done buddy 👍👍
Evening mr DO hope you’re all good mate? Yeah was a slog but loved it! On catchup with vids mate, you’re up soon
Have a good week mate
Ash x
Nice one Ash. Been looking forward to watching this, you make it look easy mate, hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks buddy, definitely didn’t feel easy lol
Thank you for watching
Ash
Surprised more people don't use sleeping bags as quilts. I started doing it so my dog could get under on an unexpectedly cold Dartmoor camp. I added a hot liner to a three season bag, Bear already has a good layer of insulation, so we are good for 4 season.
Hi mate, yeah the bag to quilt conversion didn’t really work too well, the down kept migrating down towards the floor leaving my body exposed, wasn’t bad weather really so didn’t matter too much.
I have an actual quilt now that is much better.
Thanks for watching mate,
All the best
Ash
Emerdale. 😁
Nice one Ash, good introduction to the trail. I don't know much about it, so I'll enjoy these. Wish the CWT map was in book form, looks easier to manage than a big sheet with different sections. That's exactly what I use the empty freeze dried meal pouch for too. 🚮
Interesting footwear choice by the way. 🤔
Lol, cheers mate... yeah the footwear was a bad choice! Change them half way through 😂 thanks for watching buddy
🏕
@@AshOutdoorsUK haha, think your teaser at the end hinted towards footwear issues.
Absolutely quality. Fair play to you mate. The spot at the end was beautiful
Hey mate! Cheers, was a little exposed but a stunning pitch!
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
Thanks for sharing Ash, looking forward to part 2! Drone was worth it!
Thanks you, yes I’m glad I took it! 👍🏼🙏🏼
Wow, part one was awesome! That path by the lake looked really dodgy!!! Well done lovely, can’t wait for part two!!! 😃 K
It was a bit sketchy round there I must admit! Lol, thanks for watching Karen
Ash 😊
Fantastic effort Ash . Cant wait for the rest of the journey . 👍👍
Thanks so much grant! Much appreciated
Ash
Spectacular scenery. Well done Ash.👏👏👏👏
Thanks Darren
Great effort mate! Really enjoyed watching that. Looking forward to the rest 🙂👍
Cheers Shaun mate! Hope you’re well buddy?
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
Great stuff Ash, good to see you on familiar trails and a cracking mission to undertake. Great camp number 2 👍.
I'll watch part 2 later 🙂👍, looks like it's a good one.
Atb Rick n Billydog
Thanks Rick! The next one is literally me just moaning for 20 mins, lol, one after should be better 👍🏼
Thanks for watching buddy
@@AshOutdoorsUK haha thats all part of a good mission. Makes it worth doing 😉
Great start to the adventure, Ash and a good video! Stunning place to pitch, better than the shack! Well done bud!
Cheers trev mate. Yeah so glad I didn’t camp there lol! Hope you’re well buddy
Thanks for watching
Ash
Nice one ash!
Cheers Richard
Ash

Wow, that was awesome Ash. Looked gruelling at times mind ! Roll on part two Pal !
Thanks Martin! It really was at times, got there in the end though
Thanks again
Ash
That’s one tough trail, glad to hear you’ve raised lots of money for your charity. A good cause indeed. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey goes xx
Thanks so much Rachel, it was so worth the sore feet and knee, totally awesome 😎
Thanks for watching
Ash
You can thank me later mate, told you you'd regret it if you didn't lug the drone with you. Stunning first episode mate, great content, looks like it's about to get seriously painful now though. Can't wait..!
I’m really glad I went for it too, but yesss a little pain to come! Lol
Thanks for watching
Asj
Good effort mate, stunning scenery. Shame about the weather on day two. All the best
Cheers Joe mate, it got better later on in the trip to be fair
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
Awesome work mate, what a glorious walk that looks. Great effort. Stunning camp by the lake. Looking forward to part 2.

Thanks as always buddy
Ash 😊🏕
🤔 surprised y'didn't leave a quote for some plastering/rendering in that abandoned hut thing😊👍. 🏕😬 part 2 looks grim!!
It needed a good old patch up Billy... or knocking down 😂 hope you’re all good buddy? Thanks for watching
Ash
Ash Outdoors UK - I'm fine, it's the start of the Aussie winter....I'm looking at your Pt.1 thinking I'm happy I only did 12 miles the other day 😊, but it did make me go out & buy proper fitting boots (I got my old ones cheap in the States but they're at least 1/2 a size too small, lovely boots, just no good for over 6 miles!!). Drone shots are a real 'Pro' touch 🎥👍👏👏👏. Hope you're recovering😬👍
Great effort bud, will have a good watch of this later. You got the high tide too! I was expecting sand when we started! Cheers, Si
Thanks mate, yeah same, have seen people have to walk miles out to dip their toes 😂
Ash - you’re a machine! What trekking poles do you use out of interest? Can you also supply a link to support the charity?
Hi nick! Thanks mate, the link is the virgin giving page in the video description... I hope it works?
Thanks for watching
Ash
That's a long trek, how epic, good for you! Very inspiring, love that your raising money along the way. Definitely off a great start 😀 now I must go to bed and not watch the next one 🙈
Hey! Omg, it’ was so epic! Would love to do it again at some point!
Thanks for watching
Ash
Roll on part 2 ,
Thanks jeff 🙏🏼
Epic mate! Can’t believe you put together such an awesome video whilst enduring all those gruelling miles!
Lol, the footage may not be as good towards the end of the series lol
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
This is so good! Looking forward to part 2
Thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed it!
Ash
I've been watching your channel mate. Really enjoying it. Binged a bit to be honest. Well done to you sir. I've done a lot of long walks and feel for ya in those first days. I know whats it's like. Thanks for the watch and good luck with it.
Thanks so much mate, the next few days were worse lol, but it gets better towards the end!
Thanks for watching pal
Ash
@@AshOutdoorsUK the mantra is breath, meditate, step, breath, meditate, step. Help me through long walks. Hopes this helps ash x
Awesome first stint Ashley, looking forward to the next. That shed looked kitted up, maybe someone's lives there? I'm glad you didn't stay to meet them 😂
Lol cheers rj! Hope you’re well my good old friend 😉 have a great weekend 😘
Awesome pal , to think I was going attempt it this year
Not fit enough and issues with my knee so wimped out lol
Great vid roll on episode 2 👏
Thank so much mate, just go for it, it’s much easier if you actually plan your route rather than just walking till you drop like I did 😂
Stunning views and brutal climbs. That second pitch was gorgeous.
Hope your knee is ok.
Thanks buddy, knee wasn’t too bad, feet did swell up tho, had to change the footwear 😂🙏🏼🏕
knees can be a pain, i get the same. worth it for those views though. keep going mate, great video!!
Thanks buddy! Yeah, I’ve had a dodgy knee for a few years now so knew it was going to play up!
Thanks for watching
Ash
Well done so far ,it’s on my to do list after watching Haze Outdoors doing it and then you have made me want to do it more.Good luck even though you have probably finished it anyway.
Thanks buddy! Yeah finished last week pal, loved it!
Well done Ash, stick with it mate !
Thanks buddy 🙏🏼🏕
Brilliant mate, the views look amazing, I bet you were glad you chose to take the drone!? You done some miles there too bud considering the terrain that’s very impressive mate👍🏻 looking forward to the next one
Thanks George, yes glad I took it, however It didn’t get used too much more to be honest lol
Thanks for watching
Ash
Great stuff. Big miles, filming and being mountain rescue all in part 1. I'm looking forward to watching part 2 (minus the swollen feet ;0)! A really first class effort.
Thanks Andy! Lol, yeah was an eventful trip I must admit!
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
This is brilliant content! I just heard of Wainwright yesterday when I was out with a mountain leader who's a bit of a Wainwright bagger. Found you Wild Beare's Facebook so thanks for sharing your link there. I'm looking forward to watching the next instalments. I'd never heard the phrase 'stacked it' before. I love learning little dialect things like that.
Hey mate! Thanks so much for checking out the video! Yes, I very nearly stacked it a few times on this trip lol!
Thanks again for watching
Ash
