In this episode of The Outdoors Station, I share part two of our Wainwright Coast to Coast adventure with Rose. We recount two tough days crossing the Lake District, from scrambling around Ennerdale Water’s rocky southern shore to the steep climb up Loft Beck and over to our campsite at Seatoller.

The following day, we climb once again before heading down to Grasmere before tackling the ascent to Grisedale Tarn. We discuss the challenges of finding water, heavy packs, and sparse facilities, but also the camaraderie with fellow walkers and the joy of wild camping by tranquil tarns. Despite exhaustion and aching muscles, the stunning scenery and small acts of kindness made every step worthwhile.
