Wainwright Coast to Coast Part 3

In this episode of The Outdoors Station, I share the ups and downs of days four and five on our Wainwright Coast to Coast trek. The Lake District’s steep climbs, wild camping, and unpredictable weather left us physically and mentally drained.

After a tough stretch to Shap and with the pressure of ensuring we arrived at future destinations on time we decided to skip a boggy 20-mile section by taxi, finding much-needed rest at a welcoming guesthouse in Kirkby Stephen. Though we felt a bit guilty, the break revitalised us for the journey ahead. Sometimes, enjoying the adventure means knowing when to pause.
