This is solo backpacking the Cumbria Way 2024. The thru hiking trail starts in Ulverston, South of the Lake District National Park and finishes in the North at Carlisle. I took I my backpacking and camping gear with me so I was self-sufficient. I saved the wild camping for Day 2 but I stayed at an excellent camping uk site on Day 1. • I covered 27 miles on Day 1 ending up at Bays Brown Campsite in Chapel Stile in the Langdales. This location is a beautiful part of the Lake District with magnificent 360 views. • Follow my Insta for daily updates / backpacking_uk • Initially the Cumbrian Way takes you through farmland and livestock fields until you get closer to Coniston Water. From here the best hiking trails really start. • The landscape changes the closer you get to Coniston, from rolling hills to the vast Coniston Water and then the mountains. • I stopped for lunch at Coniston, had a pint of Cumbria Way at the Crown Inn and then made my way to Elterwater via Skelwith Force. I stopped for some refreshments at the Britannia Inn and Wainwright Inn. • Lastly I made my way to the Chapel Stile where I stopped at the Bays Brown Campsite in the Langdales. I've been here before and it must be one of the most scenic camping sites in the UK. • After struggling with hayfever, a shower did me the world of good and I felt amazing! • Other campers were very quiet so I got a good night's sleep ready for the epic Day 2 that was to come. • The backpacking and camping gear I took is listed below: • I buy my 3F UL Gear tents from Camperlists who stock all variants.
