Wainwrights Coast to Coast - 2022
=============================
At the end of May 2022 I challenged myself to take on the Wainwrights Coast to Coast walk. This is a 192 mile walk starting on the West Coast at St.Bees travelling through the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and the North Yorkshire Moors to finally arrive in Robin Hoods Bay.
We woke at the start of Day 2 overlooking the lovely Ennerdale Water. We had a great pitch right by the water although plenty of midge attacking us a night but had disappeared by morning. We left the lake around 8am and started our hike past Robin Hoods Seat and along the lake and tracks to Black Sail hut for a much needed coffee.
After this we had the steep climb up to the top of the fells before a long stretch to Honister Slate Mine. I have to admit my feet were aching at this point and I had no energy after hardly eating the last 2 days. As you can see from thumbnail, had a lay down on Nicola, some food (rocky road, crisps, sausage barm and a coke, and found my 2nd wind.
After this Nicola and I also met up with a couple of other lads we'd met on Day 1 and we all headed to Stonethwaite for a camp by the river which was great.
Stay tuned for Day 3 tomorrow as all the videos will be released daily at 7pm for this series.

Thats a beautiful place to camp Kris , even if its not wild camping

Totally agree. I think with hikes like this with lots of other people doing it too it’s good to mix it up and hit some camp sites too. Not only so you can freshen up, but it’s the key time to meet other people who are doing the hike too and make new friends and memories. Have to say that was one of the best things about this adventure as made some good new friends too.
Great stuff. I,m starting off in two weeks time so this is homework 😆
Best of luck and really hope you get the weather like I did. Are you carrying your own gear or have you secured accommodation?
@@krisgleave Lanshan 1 for wild and campsites, Hotel in Reeth and one at the end, wing the rest is the plan so far....
Cant wait
Sounds good. I didn’t stop in Reeth I pushed thought but it’s a great place to stop it’s lovely. Theirs a nice bakery too so check that out. Best of luck
the Yorkshire trailblazer & Mark !! thats the first time ive seen Mark not limping his pack was so heavy dont think i could of got that beast round😉😉
Haha true! I didn’t film it but I met Iain packing up the tent, he recognised me from the Group. Then literally just past Robin Hoods Chair I heard someone shouting for help no joke. It was Mark! He’s gone the wrong way and had to climb up the front with his massive bag 😂. That’s how I met them both.
great campsite at Stonethwaite i stopped there also i was just pitching up on red pike as you were there lovely little climb up greenup edge in the morning😂😂
Haha yes! The crazy part was you came down from the high route to go back up. Should’ve stayed high
you missed a treat at honister the bacon and sausage cobs were gorgeous 😉😉
Oh I had one don’t worry about that. And a packet of crisp, 2 rocky roads and 2 cans of coke

Great video! How did you navigate the trails?
I had the A-Z Coast to Coast book which is really hard to get hold of at the moment. From that I manually plotted the whole route on OS Maps and transferred that to my Garmin 6X Pro watch. Basically I used the watch solely for the whole navigation and it was perfect. Took the A-Z too just in case.
