- Attempting the 17k of ascent on the mountain route of the Cumbria Way. Can I fastback this route over three days? Having previously completed the classic Cumbria Way, I now venture into the fells to follow the Mountain route. This is also my first attempt at Fastpacking, lighter load and faster pace challenges my body all the way over 115 km. This video is day three and includes ascending five Wainwrights in the Lake District fells.

Having wild camped on the slopes of Skiddaw we begin the climb early morning to first acquire the summit of Skiddaw Little Man. Next it actually is the top of Skiddaw which in particular gives us great views down to Derwent Water. We drop down the slopes of Skiddaw and visit the honesty shop located in Skiddaw House YHA. From here we take a faint path up to the summit of Great Calva and then on to the final mountain from the mountain route Knott.
We next join the classic route of the Cumbria Way and the first feature that confirms this fact is the sighting of Lingy Hut. here we take respite from the wind and study the visitor notes in the visitors book. We spot the entry that mentions Ambling Trails then review our route on the Harvey's Map of the Cumbria Way. From here it is a short climb to the last Wainwright fell top of High Pike. Then down into Caldbeck for a cafe break before eventually finishing in Dalston.

The views are fantastic. I’ve really appreciated this series

Great series of videos with some really nice mountain views along the way . Fantastic achievement completing the mountain route in 3 days . Well done Nigel and look forward to your next adventure
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the support and comments.
Would definitely like to see a video about the gear you brought with you please
Okay, I will work on that and hopefully have it ready for next week!
Have you ever considered not carrying a stove to cut down on weight? I’m thinking of doing so to do the tour of the Lake District where there are so many options to grab food during the day. I do like a cup of tea but the saving in weight could be well worth missing out 😂
I think you read the script for next week's video! My feelings exactly, especially when you're in the Lakes. Best of luck for the T of the L, when you do it, will be interested in how you get on, with or without the tea!
