Day Three on the The Cambrian Way mountain trail 479 km (298 miles) with a total ascent of 22,460 m (73,700 ft). I think it could be Britain's hardest long distance trail. Its hard to say but looking at the map i think i started todays episode around the Mynydd Garnclochdy area i want give exact camping locations away. I was so wet from the rain all night i set about getting ready to walk around 4am just to keep warm. I was no risk at cold from the time of Year and in good health. So walked back up towards Mynydd Garnclochdy i think. The rain came back on top the hill. The rain was very bad so much so i could only see about couple of meters ahead what with the mist as well as the dark even with two powerful lights. By this time my cannon camera was destroyed by the weather i should know by now and my phone was useless take note people think phone navigation fine lucky i know this i used my garmin fenix3 gps watch with the track loaded onto so i knew i was heading in the general dir

5 days wild camping hiking @ Exmoor national park day 3.1 Exmoor England UK From Lynmouth i headed up the A39 towards Combe park wood where i joined the Two moors way and Tarka trail which i have done the whole trail in the past. From Cheriton it was up on Exmoor moors. Where i found Cheriton Ridge ring cairn. I carried walking up to Exe head. Which i got be confused about the river. It is in fact the river the goes through Exeter not Lynmouth. Which is even more amazing as Exeter is on the South coast. I ended up camping up on Great Ashcombe Please subscribe.

Isle of wight England UK I paid a visit to Church of Saint Mary the Virgin Brook where i charged my batteries for one hour. Lovely church be sure to leave a good donation if doing such a thing. Today i walked part the coast path to Freshwater bay. Top tip there a a massive COOP supermarket there is a good one apart from the fact they ripped my of with there food deal or at the very least mislead me into thinking i had the food deal i know all supermarkets do it do check your receipts do not let them get away with it. They do have a local produce of the island section worth a look. From here walked up though the golf course at Compton down where some one naughty had drawn a male member onto one the sandpits made me laugh.

Isle of wight England UK Top tip people i took the National express in from Oxford to Southampton only £6 and if you join https://www.topcashback.co.uk for free your get cash back on your national express ticket on top of that as well. You can also get tickets from London for about £6 to Southampton as well. The boat over is about £10 one way for foot passenger. Another tip tip if your only going be using the bus no more than once or a day or less it works out cheaper asking for a though ticket. A though ticket will take you to any place on the Island the bus service goes to for £4.50. This will work out cheaper than the 24 hour £10 ticket or 48 hour £15 ticket. You can get a 5 day day for £25 also but i think the though ticket work out cheaper for most people who watch this video. So from Southampton the boat goes the East cowes. From there i got the bus to Newport. From Newport i got bus to Chale green. From there i took to a right of way up to Hoy Monument the views should bee

Snowing at Angle tarn wild camping

Image
Lake district Day 8 Cumbria England UK Woke up to snow at Angle tarn. Cold wet snow in the wind. Got the tent down then it was a walk into Patterdale village on the coast to coast trail. Snowed most the way into the Village. Patterdale Village Store and Post Office a fantastic friendly little village shop. Great place to stock up on food if your doing the coast to coast trail or just hiking in the area like myself. The war memorial there is worth a look a reminder of the terror of war. Was pleased be going back today as the wet snow got most my gear damp. Please subscribe. This channel is for you. Please give me your feedback comments.

Great langdale campsite and Keswick Ambleside

Image
Lake district Day 6 Cumbria England UK Great langdale national trust campsite has good wind protection. Also is good to know i think that some the money goes back into maintaining the paths in the National park. If though windy i the wind protection was so great did not effect my tent much. As today weather was not so great i took the bus to Keswick and Ambleside. Folks top tip for those hitchhiking and using public transport like my self if arriving by train to the Lakes in Oxenholme rather than getting the train from there into Windermere get the stagecoach bus into Kendle buy a 1 week pass if your going be there for a week which is under £30 and you can use it as much as you like over a week and just about ever public bus in the lakes is a stagecoach bus. Train tickets always book least week in Advance and buy separate ticket for each changing point normally works out lot cheaper. Ok back to my day i visit the Derwent Pencil Museum building but i did not pay to see it due t

Mosedale cottage bothy to Great langdale campsite

Image
Lake district Day 5 Cumbria England UK Had a lack of sleep at the party house Mosedale cottage bothy where large group of lads turned up at around 1am off there faces and still awake when i left about 9am. Is the Lake district i should known better not really as remote as some other bothies i mean you could even drive up there in a 4wd which i am sure people do. I still think the more remote bothies elsewhere still ok for hikers rather than pissheads and pillheads. Still not wanting sound boring i hope they had a great time. I walked across Mosedale in the wind and rain towards Shap. Dropped my rubbish of there in a street bin. There are no buses in Shap on a Saturday so in end i decided to hitchhike. I have almost 30 years of hitchhiking experience i should do a video on that at some point. Normally small places easy get lift but cities i would not even bother trying now. So i hitchhiked to Penrith where i got the bus to Keswick hoping to stay the Caravan and camping club there.

Lake district Day 4 Cumbria England UK Last night  i camped by Warnscale Head while bunch drunk people enjoyed Warnscale Head bothy.

Set of early as i needed to walk to Seatoller to catch the bus. i got the bus from there to Keswick. from there i got the bus to Penrith rail station from there i got the bus to Shap which is on the Coast to coast walk.

Lake district Winter Great lingy hut Dubs Hut bothy wild camp

Image
Lake district Day 3 Cumbria England UK Had a night at Lingy Hut bothy which is on the Cumbria Way. Then headed by hiking, Hitchhiking and bus to Honister Pass where i joined Alfred Wainwright coast to coast path which i had done the whole path back in 2012. But now i was heading to Dubs hut and Warnscale Head bothy. However these bothies have very easy access as not far from the pass there there more party pads then shelters however i also i think is good for those who can not walk to far and Dubs bothy can be reached by 4wd so maybe a good one for people in Wheel chairs. But for me they was full when i arrived and that is why you should always have a back up plan which i always do i have many and tonight i camped by Warnscale Head while bunch drunk people enjoyed Warnscale Head bothy.

Lake district Cumbria England UK One week winter adventure digital hoboing. After a long train and bus trip i headed along Great Langdale near to Great Langdale hanging knotts  for a first nights wild camp. Second night headed to Great Lingy hill in the Lake District’s Northern Fells for a night at Great Lingy Hut bothy which is on the Cumbria Way. Warnscale Head and Dubs hut bothies was next on the menu up towards Honister Slate Mine. Also just off Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk. I did not get to stay in them as they both was full i think these bothies are more holiday homes than walkers shelter as there not to far of the roads shame would be cool to stop there but they are for every body not just for me :). I ended up camping by them. Next was Mosedale Cottage which you think to far of for people high on pills and drink but at 1am in the morning i was awoke by people as high as a kite. Still glad they had a great time. That is the thing to remember people can arrive a
