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

I stayed the night at Kielder Campsite. Today walk is along the forest road drive most the way. Then of on a 4wd track right of way. On the way i stopped at Ratty bird hide just have a look no rest was needed at this time. It was a nice steady climb for 6 miles to the saddle of the forest track at resting shelter called the Nick. I left the forest drive road onto a 4wd track right of way down to Border Forest Holiday Park where i met famous outdoor youtuber dean read doing the Pennine way which he has now completed so check out his channel. I wanted to see the Kings stones stone circle but lummox been at work and was not possible to see it,
Kielder Forest, one of the biggest man-made woodlands in Europe.
Kielder Castle is an 18th-century hunting lodge built by the Duke of Northumberland. It is now a Visitor Centre with a cafe.
Kielder Campsite is a fantastic campsite i could not fault it. Only £6.50 a night for hiker backpacker tent. You get free WIFI which you need as there is no mobile signal from any the networks there. There is even a room where you can charge your battery packs this is idea for digital nomads hikers backpackers its a real plus in my eyes when campsites do that. The showers nice and warm easy to control and cost no extra. There even a heated room where you can view the stars at night. It has large camping area. There also washing machines which of course cost extra.
BLAKEHOPE NICK OVERLOOK. The Nick, at the highest point on Kielder Forest Drive. The structure’s unique tilted pentagonal form is built from larch, much of which came from just over the border in Scotland. This distinctive tree, which thrives in Kielder Forest, is the only European conifer that loses its needles in the winter. It’s a popular wood for building, and is the perfect material to withstand the exposure and climate at the highest point on the Forest Drive.
Border Forest Holiday Park. £8.00 a night for backpacker tent. showers was no extra cost but i bit dated. There was electric plugs in the cooking area i used to charge my battery pack and a microwave. But there was no food or drink sold at this campsite which is crazy as there is no where to get food in the area at the time i was there and this also the last stage of the Pennine way for alot people. To be fair they did give me some snake size packets of porridge some one had left. But if it was not for that all would had to get over the Cheviots was a small pot of snack pasta and a all day meal can. Remember the size bag i have so i was a bit concerned but hey my first challenge of the hike not that i need challenges.
