Hi John, thanks for watching. It’s such a brilliant trail I definitely think it’s one I’ll be doing again sometime. Can’t wait to get back out this year and start making more vids. It’s been awhile! ✌️ Ben.
Fantastic trip and route, i did it a few year ago but the opposite way round, we stayed in similar areas over the same ammount of days, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the kind words mate. Yeah it was just what I needed. Gave me a lot to think about and taught me a great deal. It’s given me confidence for future trips. Thanks for watching dude 🤙
Awsome film man,,some real awsome views,,, the hut looks like a great reast spot ,, I'm also from Hull,,got onto your vids as I plan to do the yorkshire wolds way thus year so have been watching ,,keep em coming atb mike,,,
I had this on my watch list for ages Ben - glad I made it. Awesome mate and they say awe is good for us. It certainly is and was for you. Yeah time to get that equilibrium back. No better place or trail. Tired on a number of days but how satisfying in the real world eh? Cracking views. Full view. Enjoyed it very much. Mark
@@BenjaminWilcock A pleasure ben. It was really good. The shin pain is fading away. I'm up Pumlumon mountain on Monday/light and if its well I'm out for my first hike and camp at the end of the week. Peace mate.
MEOW u cracked it this time, visually, pysically and I loved the music at the begining of journey. See U when I arrive back @ work.. 😎😇👍😘👍👀👌🤔🤔 10 out 10 4 effort kid...
Great hike, I'd love to do this trail at some point. The bothy looked like it was in good condition, also a nice little break from the elements. New sub here! x
Thanks Benjamin, it's beautiful, even the first and last days which some people criticise. I just finished the Rob Roy Way in Scotland, another belter! Subbed 👍
@@JustinWhiting9 thanks mate. I’ll check those out. It’s been ages since I’ve made something I’m happy with. Think it’ll be awhile till I get out out anything even remotely long for awhile.
Making videos is hard work, and can detract from your enjoyment, and even take over and spoil it sometimes. I recently did a few hikes in the Lakes without filming and just relaxed more. You do whatever you feel like doing. It's all good. Have a good weekend mate. Justin.
Loved this dude, Great footage and edit@ quite fitting actually as I'm planning to do the Cumbria way this month, and as matter of fact I actually ordered an atom+ last week 😄, and I'm in Lincoln, not far away! Small world! Subbed! 🤘🏻
Ah cheers for the sun dude much appreciated! I’m also subbed to you, will you be filming the Cumbria way? Be excited to see your take. Ah that’s awesome on the Atom, you’ll love it. Nice yeah am only in Hull. Was nice seeing your footage too as I’ve just switched to Sony and picked up the 20mm 1.8 G. Happy hiking mate 👍
@@BenjaminWilcock I will be yes, I'm looking forward to it! Oh really haha, even smaller world! 😄 the 20 is a great lens! Take care dude, going to watch some more now 😉
Just stumbled across your channel and ended up binge-watching a bunch of your hiking films! Loving your channel, dude - great combination of storytelling and visuals, got a really distinctive style too. Look forward to watching more 👍
Ah Thankyou so much for the kinds words dude. So happy you enjoyed them. Had a trip planned soon but covid has put and end to that. I’ll just be more stoked to get out when I can. ✌️ Ben.
@@itsmescottp cheers man am glad that comes across. I watch the end bit of me in the train station and see a bit of gloom come over me as I realise it’s over. Can’t wait to get back out. End of March for me 🤙
Cheers for watching mate. Yeah I’ve just got 2 Cnoc Vecto vesica 1L bottles coming that I can use with my sawyer. Think I’ve use them and get a katadyn like you. Was a pain waiting to be able to drink the water 🤙. I learnt a few things this hike. Like I probably will always be too tired to cold soak and I’ll Just eat dry cold food 😂👌✌️👍
@@BenjaminWilcock fuck that cold soaking. I use a little red bull can stove 6g tin foil wind break and titanium 650mm pot 112g all up. Only needs 30mm of meths for a full boil nice to have a hot meal and a brew when you have smashed 30mile day. Sweet video keep them coming bud
Great stuff Ben. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Brilliant filming and some great waffle too. Some great going there considering you’ve been shielding and not building the miles in the legs. Lingy hut looks fab too. I’m looking to walk a trail in July as part of the Pennine Way training. It’s a choice between this one or the Hadrian’s wall trail. Cumbria Way looks ace though so
@@BenjaminWilcock I really enjoyed the commentary. It really adds to the viewing experience knowing what you’re thinking and talking about what you’ve had to overcome along the trail. Thru hiking is tough on the body and mind and anyone viewing this who hasn’t experienced that will now appreciate just what’s involved
Nice one ben i bet it feels good to be back on the trail looks like you had a good one im of tomorrow im doing the south downs way ive been wandering how impala is doing on the lejog i bet he can't believe the shit weather looks like its going to be a decent weekend what you got planned for your next one ⛺⛼🌄🏕🎆🌌🌅🌠😎🤪
Cheers mate, yeah the weather has been terrible lol. Hopefully it changes for the better soon and stays consistent. Impala is getting back on the LEJOG soon and hiking north back to south where he hiked to before. My next one is the Pennine Way in august. Have fun on the South Downs dude 🤌👌🤙✌️
@@BenjaminWilcock penine way mate supposed to be a tough one can't wait to get on the trail myself im doing the coast to coast sometime this year i love the lake district the cumbria way looks a good one catch you later dude ⛺🌄🏕🎆🌌🌅🌠😎
You’ll have a brilliant time! Ah dude I’d love to do more stuff in Wales. Got so much i want to do! It’s getting the hols and time off work. If I plan on anything in wales I’ll let you know. 🤙
I’ve only ever hiked in wales once and it was Snowdon via crib Goch. Was awesome but way too busy and overpopulated for my liking. I’d love to do some routes that are lesser know but equally as beautiful. I’ve got most my holidays booked this year to hit the Pennine way in august 🤙
Greetings from the Pyrenees mountain range, in Spain. I would like to do cumbria way this May, could you tell me the nearest airport and the best way to get to the beginning of the route by public transport? I can't find much information about this. Thank you
Hi, personally I think your best bet would be flying to Manchester airport. From there arrange a train to the start of the trail in Ulverston. You’ll finish in Carlisle and arrange a train back to Manchester. I think this would be the easiest way. Hope it helps.
Sorry to hear you’ve had to shield. It’s been bad enough without that. Did you qualify for early jabs? Seems wrong that someone like me should get them just for being old when others seem to have greater need. Totally agree on Atom Packs. When my 35 litre, slate grey Atom arrived, I was surprised by how good it looked. Shouldn’t have been, I know, but it’s a looker of a pack and it’s performed well. Really comfortable straps. Great video. Thank you for posting it.
Lovely film once again we’ll done mate. I’m setting off on the Cleveland way on Thursday and this got me in the zone - what is that hoodie that your wearing?
Awesome you’re going to love the Cleveland Way. The hoodie is a baselayer. It’s the Patagonia Capilene air hoody. Was first time using it. Expensive but brilliant
Loved this video mate, can't wait for my first trip to the lakes next month. Are you also selling those Wilderness Ways caps? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be looking to grab one!
Hey cheers so much for watching 🤙 ah bet you can’t wait to get to the lakes. The hats aren’t for sale yet, maybe in the future if I get enough interest. ✌️ Ben
That was mint man I really enjoyed it. Your colours and shot selection are absolutely on point. Makes the place look magic!
Thankyou mate, it was a brilliant hike
Quality film, commentary & scenery. Very enjoyable..good job👏🤝
Thanks mate glad you liked it. Can’t wait for more hiking 🤙✌️
Such a great trail. Superb journey top video 👍
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed the video
M8 that was awesome, really enjoyed that,,the trail looks superb and i'll definately look at getting it done at one point.
Cheers mate it was a awesome hike
Loved that walk, some epic scenery. Nice one mate 👍
Hi John, thanks for watching.
It’s such a brilliant trail I definitely think it’s one I’ll be doing again sometime.

Thanks mate it was awesome. Yeah a bloke came i the hut whilst I was in it and said it’d been all refurbished 🤙👍👌✌️
Ben, that was some amazing work you put into that, much appreciated.
But more so, It seems like the trail brought you just what you needed.
Cheers
Thanks for the kind words mate. Yeah it was just what I needed. Gave me a lot to think about and taught me a great deal. It’s given me confidence for future trips. Thanks for watching dude 🤙
Epic Trail 👌🏼

Thanks mate, it was a great time 🤙
Finished this a week and a half ago. Wonderful walk, highly recommend it to anyone. Amazing video, good work!
Sounds like you enjoyed it as much as I did. I’ll definitely do it again or some kinda of variation of it. Cheers for watching 🤙
Great stuff. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks & cheers for watching
Another great vid pal 👍👌
Thanks dude! Hope to follow on your footsteps on the C2C in the near future ✌️🤙
Quality Video mate. I'm heading out to do this trail south bound on Wednesday 🤙
Awesome have fun 👌🤙
Brilliant filming, great trail and nice to see you back out. Thanks.
I checked out your gear list too.
"Fuck the real world "

Haha 😂 definitely fuck the real world! Can’t wait to get back out. Cheers for watching dude 🤙
Great video Ben, quality stuff. It makes me want to do it all again! I can’t wait for your next journey, keep up the good work, bud👍
Thank-you mate, such a great hike isn’t it! Am dying to get back out now 🤙
Great video. Huge inspiration to me just starting making my own videos! Keep up the good work:) I’ve subscribed!
Hi, thanks so much!! Only just seen your comment. Nice one on starting a channel, I find it equally as fun as the actual hikes 🤙

Hiya thanks for watching and thanks for the sub. It’s a brilliant hike, the hut was awesome I think it’s been recently refurbished 🤙
@@BenjaminWilcock Can’t remember if you said it in the video, but how many days did it take you? Thanks x
I was on trail 4 days but in reality it took me 3 days as I started after 2 on the Monday And ended at 2 on the Thursday 🤙
Top video mate , looks a fantastic route and a great effort 👍🙏
Thanks it is an awesome trail had a brilliant time. Cheers for watching 🤙
Well done Benjamin, good trail vid 👍 I did the Cumbria Way last year and my own videos
That’s Justin, cheers for checking it out. A really nice little trail isn’t it. Really enjoy it. I need to get back to the lakes.

Nice work
Cheers & thanks for watching 🤙
Class man, really inspiring stuff. 👏
Thanks so much. Glad you dug it 🤙
LOVE your hiking films, your passion for hiking shines. Curious - that accent, is that a regional thing? It’s so cool.
Thank you so much and cheers for watching! Yeah it’s the Yorkshire accent, North Yorkshire to be precise 🤙
Solid work dude, really enjoyed it you got the balance between tunes n chatting perfect and the colours n sounds are awesome!! Well done dude 🤙
Very nice Ben! The views must have been amazing in person... great editing as usual😎👍 Cheers bud
Thanks mate it was stunning & like you say so much better in person. Was so happy to be back out 🤙

Great adventure! 😎
I've just finished this solo and I'm already getting cumbria way blues!
Really is a great trail isn’t it. What you got planned next? I always find having something else to prepare for helps with the blues.
@@BenjaminWilcock Yes that's exactly what I'm doing! Either the West Highland Way or Coast to Coast
Excellent those 2 are also next on my list. Not sure when I’ll have to time atm though. It’s been awhile since I’ve done anything
Just re-watching this one Ben, looks like a pretty dope trail, think I might hit this later in the year.
Nice edit too man 🤙🏻
Ah cheers dude. Yeah it’s awesome, I really liked it
@@BenjaminWilcock You could tell man, you looked like you were buzzing the entire trail. 👌🏻
@@itsmescottp cheers man am glad that comes across. I watch the end bit of me in the train station and see a bit of gloom come over me as I realise it’s over. Can’t wait to get back out. End of March for me 🤙
@@BenjaminWilcock Yeah man going back to reality sucks!
What you got planned dude?
That Gritstone 100 in the peaks. Can’t wait!!
Man got on the train and left his camera on the platform. - sick vid dude
Ahha yeah that was a bit dodgy in Hull as well 😂😂😂 thanks dude
Love it congrats on your first solo - what an epic trail. Hi from Australia. You are so close to 1k congrats.
Hi Kate, thanks so much & cheers for watching! It really was a brilliant time. Hope I can get back out soon it’s been longer than anticipated.
Epic mate! Loved every minute of that, I'm definitely going to plan this as my next thru. Peace
Ah mate you’ll love it! It’s a stunner of a hike. So much variety ✌️
Great video Ben you need to get your self a katadyn filter so your not messing with the drops and can camel up I love mine.
