WILD CAMPING THE CUMBRIA WAY | Part 1 - Ulverston to Old Dungeon Ghyll

We started wild campin the Cumbria way exactly four days after i finished wild camping the Cleveland way .. why? Because in a few weeks i'll be off to rehearsals for the ABBA tribute band and I want to make the most of my time off work lol! And what good timing for the weather, it was glorious :-) We drove to Ulverston where we parked the car at the train station long stay car park and made our way to the start line to begin this 70 mile adventure hiking and wild camping in the Lake District. I did my first long distance national trail last year when i decided on a whim to buy a tent and catch a train to Scotland to wild camp the West Highland Way, I loved this adventure so much and it gave me something to focus on after being furloughed due to COVID. I then recently hiked the Cleveland Way.. starting April 12th, the first day we were allowed to travel out of our local areas.. I didnt hang about! The most recent lockdown had been hard for everyone and I can imagine it was as much of a release for you all as it was for me when that day finally came. I really hope you enjoy watching our adventure, in part 1 we travel from the starting point in Ulverston to Old Dungeon Ghyll, I have done my best to try and include information you may find useful.. possible locations to wild camp on the Cumbria Way, pub stops on the trail and places you can fill up your water and supplies. Please don't forget to drop me a comment, i love hearing from you all. If you are planning on hiking any UK national trail or long distance hiking trailthis year, let me know! Also if you enjoy wild camping UK and you find any beautiful wild camping locations that I may enjoy.. drop me a comment. Make sure you subscribe to my channel Drunk On Wanderlust to catch the second half of my wild camping the cumbria way adventure and to tune in to my previous and future hiking and travel adventures. I'm hoping to wild camp the South downs way next month and then in the summer possibly The Isle of Skye Trail and the Great Glen way. The tent I used on this UK hiking trail was the Salewa Litetrek 2, and the boots im wearing are Keen Targhee 3 which I cannot recommend enough! Especially for anyone who has wide feet and needs wide fitting hiking boots! If you would like to suppoert my channel, you can click on the link below and buy me a beer!
