Hi, what's the diameter of the bungees you used?

Thanks Mate from Australia ⛺️

Thank you for sharing another great trip left feeling inspired for another visit out that way. Just a valley or three over from most of my times spent in the black mountains. Just shows how a different approach to the mountains can bring a fresh experience. Did you feel well out of the way parked up on the grass verge? Thanks again👍

Thank you for your CWT video and this one, very honest comments. My personal favourite trail in UK so far has been the Southern Upland Way, can recommend. Regards

Excellent video and your epic walk, thank you very much, loved it.

Great video Ty. The unnamed 'lake' near Torver I believe is Throng Moss reservoir (disused) .

Great video Charles! I'm all set for doing the Cumbria Way in May 2025 and was planning on doing the "normal" route, although having seen what the more mountainous route can offer, I think I'm going to do that route instead 👍😁

11:30 so much wind and flat water and there is no windsurfer? 😢

Well done , it also forms part of the Hard moors race ultra running race series the Hardmoors 110 with a 36hour time limit to do it in ! with an Ascent:16,500ft/5000 m this years winner did it in 20:55:58 hrs, record time stands at 19:23:13 .

Lovely trail with great hills and views. What time of year was this pls? How do you find the Lanshan 1 as compared to the Lanshan 2 - besides the obvs weight and size difference? Thank you for sharing!

Walked the Cleveland Way last year. Really enjoyed your video. I did an extra bit from Filey to Bridlington which was even better than coastal part of Cleveland Way. You seem to have a decent microphone .not affected by the wind.

That was fantastic Charles and one of those trips you shall never forget, you had fantastic weather and such a great time. Thanks for sharing your adventure, I thoroughly enjoyed it. 🍻

Hi Charles thanks so much for bringing this trail to my attention. What a great time of Year to experience it as well. Phill

It looks to me that you and I bought the same chest pack? The only drawback to it is that I use the second zipped area down from the top to hold my phone (it fits perfectly) but I have to be careful that I dont miss and put it in that area that has no bottom to it. I managed to do this twice, and luckily my phone fell on grass and not on tarmac. A great video, enjoyed it.

I noticed your still carrying the Motorola defy have they sorted out the problem with the contract etc….?

Hi Charles - thanks for sharing your experience on the Cumbria way - great video with lots of stunning views 👍

Hi Charles - I really enjoyed your adventure and can relate first hand to quite a few of those views - particularly that last one off High Pike. I like your style: nice chap, goes walking without razzamataz, has nice time, the end. Really good. Thank you

I always love it when Charles puts out a new adventure. Cup of coffee, slice of cake and an hour of your ever brilliant musings. That chest pouch looks very handy, would you mind sharing what make/model it is please?

I fancy this walk next year, did you use the cicerone guide book?

Its a cracking walk but as you say the signage leaves a lot to be desired, which is a shame really.

It's a temperature inversion Charles. Clouds can not invert 😮

Excellent Charles, you were so, so lucky with the weather. I have to say it is the first day that puts me off doing this route 👍

Awesome, thank you!

Hi Charles- love this trip mate- its on my list now new subscriber here.. love checking out your vids mate

Super tent!!👍

Wow! Heaven on a hilltop !

Fantastic view what a beautiful view to watch while you eat your breakfast and pack up ready for a new day 👍

Great video, thanks for sharing . are you planing to do a 11 modification modification video😉 like the Lanshan 2

Gorgeous.

Well that’s made me smile, enjoy your breakfast 😊

Wow, you struck gold with that camp Charles. Stunning. 👍

Your parcel has arrived. See you Friday

Enjoy yourself in Keswick tomorrow Charles and have a safe night🏕️

That's such a pretty view!

I’ve upgraded mine to 9.5mm poles and added a bespoke footprint from Lucy at Quintcraft. With some of your mods and some ideas taken from my Nortent it’s now a very capable roomy tent that I’d trust in poor weather. Great video 😊

You can’t beat it with weather like that Charles. 👌

Looks great. Apparently your parcel will arrive tomorrow.

If I was around I would bro you the Guinness but on holiday with the Mrs in Bakewell.

Thank you for listing the weight before/after I was curious about that. Any idea on the cost you've added with all the mods, like what is the all in price? I always try to see if it's justified to add all the extras or just get an xmid 2

I agree you need the bathtub lines to be out at an angle. It's funny, the official instruction say straight out at 90 degrees but the pictures on the site are like yours lol

Useful review. Thank you.

Incredible work

That catenary line idea is actually kinda brilliant! At >190cm height I almost wanted to go with the Lanshan 2 Pro to be on the save side but looked up mods for the L1P first - pretty much everyone goes with the obvious extra pole/stick route which defeats the "ultralight" aspect of the tent imo. This is the single most easy and lightweight mod to get extra room and stability! Thank you so much!

I recognised those Roman walls from the thumbnail! My neck of the woods also. By all accounts the Cumbrian Way is book ended by underwhelming sections (although the middle of course is great!), so I would be inclined to go West Highland Way. But don't listen to us!

Well filmed and presented. I have a similar tent from another brand and made an inverted V tent pole. The top piece is made of plastic and has a short screw to hook the inner on. I have sewn magnets on the door retainer straps which is better than tying the toggles. Good work in setting the inner and outer separation as the designers have overlooked this.

Pennine Way, I’m doing it May / june

West highland! Now most of the midges have gone it will be lovely!

Fabulous glad you're back out can't wait for the videos

Great Lanshan modification ideas. Quick question, regarding the inner tent floppiness modification, did you run shock cord on all 4 corners ? Have you also changed the 2 main guy lines from 3 mm to 2 mm ? thanks for sharing the modification tips with us !

Welcome back! Sorry hope your wife is feeling better now. West highland way sounds amazing to me and gets my vote. Looks forward to the next video
