3 Days Solo Wild Camping & Fishing in the Lake District

Join me on an unforgettable adventure to the stunning Lake District as I embark on a two-night wild camping trip. Starting from Mardale Head, I hike my way up to Small Water where I set up camp for the first night. After scouting the area, I find the perfect spot by the Tarn and settle in for the night, enjoying the peaceful sound of nature.

On the first day, I indulge in my passion for fly fishing and manage to catch a beautiful wild Brown Trout, which I release back into the water. Using my Mavic mini drone, I capture breathtaking aerial footage of the stunning landscape, including Haweswater, Small Water, and other scenic features such as waterfalls, streams, and mountains.

After a restful night's sleep, I wake up to a serene and peaceful fog, which creates a magical atmosphere. Despite the wet and windy conditions, I set off to hike up to High Street, reaching the peak at around 820m above sea level. Along the way, I get drenched in rain but still manage to find a peaceful and sheltered spot in a forest by Haweswater for my second night's camping.

Despite the heavy rain, I manage to start a fire and cook dinner using my stove, enjoying the warmth and comfort of the flames. After a restful night's sleep, I wake up to the sound of the falling rain and begin my journey back to the car, hiking through the roaring streams and rivers.

Join me on this incredible journey, filled with stunning scenery, fly fishing, camping, and unforgettable memories. I hope to share more adventures with you in the near future.

Keep adventuring,

Eze
