Into the Mountains: Our Unforgettable 3-Day Hike and Wild Camping Trip in the Stunning Lake District

Join @ADVENTUREISMADE and me on an unforgettable adventure to the Lake District! For three days, we hike and wild camp, taking in the overwhelmingly beautiful landscape, enjoying delicious campfire food, and disconnecting from the hectic world.

Teaming up with Matty was awesome - we worked well as a duo and improvised several great solutions. Despite being challenged with windy and wet conditions from the start and struggling to find a campsite on day one, morale remained high throughout the trip.

With a full moon out, the nights were bright, and we could see the outlines of the majestic landscape from our tents. Waking up to a frozen landscape on the second day was pure magic, and with the sun shining in full force, we couldn't have asked for more.

We trekked through the valley and into the mountains for about four hours until we reached our tarn for the second night. I tried to convince Matty to take a dip in the chilly 5.8c water, but I'm not giving up just yet.

With the wind blowing hard from the south, Matty improvised a great tarp setup to get us out of the wind. Using both our tents for support and staking down a ridge line, the shelter provided much-needed relief from the wind and a common area for cooking, eating, and chilling out. Not for long, though, as we promptly went into our sleeping bags for a windy night of broken sleep.

On the final day, the wind continued, but the sun was out again. After a quick tear-down of camp, we boiled up coffee using fire-starters for fuel since we had run out of gas and food, and we were off on our two-hour descent.

This was a fantastic trip where we learned a lot from each other and made a new friend. Join us on this incredible adventure to the Lake District and experience the beauty of this stunning landscape for yourself.

Keep on adventuring!
