Day 6 of solo hiking the Coast to Coast, I left the Patterdale YHA camping grounds, a truly serene camping spot, though my anxiety & homesickness was hitting hard. I have an emotional moment behind the camera, but I try not to let it ruin the day. After all, look at where I was; stunning Patterdale heading for the iconic Angle Tarn.
I began to feel a little better as I reached the tarn, passing other hikers along the way and chatting with them. I came across a hiker who I recognised from the Black Sail Hut from day 3, so we walked together for a while, over Kidsty Pike, the highest point on the whole trail.
The climb down from Kidsty Pike to Haweswater was brutal. Genuinely treacherous, one misstep would have you tumbling down the rocks. With a massive 17kg backpack, this would prove to be all the more difficult.
As the day wore on, hiking along Haweswater with a couple hours of sunlight to go, I began to feel down and relatively melancholic again, though having the company of another hiker for this section did help a little.
We discussed where to camp for the night, the other hiker, Pete, took out his map and luckily we spotted a campsite in Burnbanks at the end of Haweswater! There was no trace of this online,on online maps, or even in my own Harvey's Map.
We arrived at the site, Aragon Campsite, which was basically just a fenced off patch of garden with use of the owner's house to use the loo or a shower. The owner was a friendly enough old man, with a long white beard down to his feet and a dog which looked like it was ready to attack at any moment.
It was a pretty little garden; picturesque and truly like something from a fairytale. I pitched by the stream that flowed through the garden, but of course that meant the midges were out in full force. So after ringing Cameron & my mum, I felt so much better, and got an early night, feeling uplifted & positive for the next day ahead.
*Also, this video is only 12 minutes long as I barely had any memory left on my SD card, so most was actually filmed on my phone! The day following this, I pick another one up in Kirkby Stephen to film the rest of the journey properly, so the following videos should be longer :D

Also, my brother and I hiked Hadrian’s Wall to raise money for Mind, we got 55 miles in before we were forced to cut it short due to food poisoning from The Twice Brewed Inn on our third night! We're better now, and will continue the walk soon, so if you’d like to donate and support Mind I’ll add the link below! It’d mean so much, and for a good cause!

I loved this video for several reasons. Obviously the stunning scenery. The beautiful well thought out music and the bearing of your feelings which in this video were you feeling very emotional and homesick. I do feel and think that doing something like this brings out our emotions in a powerful way. Positive and negative and that’s ok though maybe the negative ones don’t feel ok as they are happening. But the growth that comes from it will in some ways help you in the long run. There’s little place to hide and distract us when we are in such places so it’s very real in that sense. The fact you are willing to be honest and talk about it is absolutely outstanding. Thank you.
Happy new to you and yours.
That’s such a lovely comment, thank you! You’re right, and it means a lot when people see it that way. Happy New Year, I hope 2024 treats you well 😁
@@Orenjen you’re welcome and thanks 👍👍
Thank you for another great video. And that you for being so open about how you are feeling during your journey.
Happy you liked it! :D
I carried on for you overnight campsite to arrive in Shap just in time for the evening drinks and bedded down in the Pubs Garden, cost for camping all those years ago was £1 per night. How things have changed since I last did the C2C way back in the 1980s. Once again thank you for doing this on camera it helps me remember my two trips on the Coast to Coast, Tony in Essex
Jennifer, love this coverage of the journey your taking us on . Showing us not only the amazing scenery but your inner self as well.
You say your not rich … wealth is not measured by your bank book ! Following you six days now ,YOU my friend are a VERY wealthy person ,loved by more people than ya know. An Army of us..🇺🇸😇👍. 🙏🏼🫵🏼
Wow that’s so lovely of you to say! Thank you for the kind words they mean a lot, glad to have you here!☺️✨
Such brilliant colours, another lovely walk. Nice to watch something filmed in May when it's December! I would have felt homesick too had I been walking solo, you are very brave, and have a beautiful soul. I also love your lovely English accent. Best wishes for a wonderful year in 2024, from this retired primary school teacher in Ontario, Canada. ❤
So lovely of you to say! Glad you liked it & I've always wanted to visit Canada, I bet you have some gorgeous places up there:) Happy New Year!
Haweswater looks like a great place to camp at the end of a hard day , very scenic... I snack on pork scratchings and beef jerky when I'm hiking. It definitely keeps my energy levels up.
It's stunning, it's a shame I was so exhausted at the time! I tried to take it in as much as I could, I definitely need to revisit. Definitely a gorgeous place to camp:)
Oh yes, I remember coming down Kidsty Pike, I think I slid down the last bit on my bum because It was so steep!
It was so tricky, and my massive rucksack gave me absolutely no room to manoeuvre as I was stood on rock ledges the whole way down, I don’t think I’ve ever been so tense when hiking in my life until then 😬
Brilliantly vlog as always. Hope you have a great new year and see more vlogs in 2024 👌👍
Aw thank you, have a wonderful New Year! I have so much planned for 2024 😁
Another beautiful video. And another beautiful day. Seems you were really lucky with the weather.....so far.
Definitely!
Stunning shots, atmosphere is so unique here my friend. Very inspirational
Thank you!☺️
Thank you so much
Glad you liked it, and I really appreciate the Super as always! ♥️
@@Orenjen I think that was one of the harder days. The long stomp along to KS and legit hurt my ankle 10 feet from KS. I had to take a day off for my ankle. But there was a beer and burger festival that day coincidentally
(be aware that Super Thanks is about the worst for fees - they take 30-51%. Buy me a coffee is about the best, taking 5% ) 😉
We avoided Kidsty by turning left to High Raise and following the ridge parallel to Haweswater. It was steep getting off the ridge but a grassy path rather than the boulders and rocks off Kidsty - it also had the advantage that you avoided a good amount of the path along Haweswater which isn't great on the feet/legs.
Ooh that's a good tip! I bet it saved loads of time too. If/when I do this hike again I'll be sure to continue along High Raise :D
@@Orenjen not sure how much time it saves but so many people say how bad the decent off Kidsty is and that the path along Haweswater is not that interesting and is not the easy - along a lake - path you might expect.
Funnily enough I had absolutely no pre-warning about the descent from Kidsty Pike, so had no idea what to expect! And I agree about Haweswater, although it was a beautiful day and it was lovely to look at, after that descent I was totally exhausted & had mild sunstroke so I couldn't enjoy it as much. Thank you again for the tip :)

Happy new year xxxx
Happy new year to you too!
I didnt mind lining crag but that descent off kidsty pike is vile, I did Angle Tarn to Shap and coming down off kidsty and the never ending Haweswater made it my hardest day. The next day Shap to kirby Steven was different again
Yes exactly, I feel like hardly anyone else on YT talks about it! That descent was more hellish than I expected for sure 😂
Yeah. That walk around Haweswater to Shap feels like a hell of a long way.
That was not the last Climb, you stil have one more steep accent left crossing the Urra Moor nn the Yorkshire Moors. I would also NOT suggest your Backpack is LIGHT, mine was twice your weight topping over 20kg. Keep a steady decent down towards Shap its very steep and in the light rain I had it was very slippery. Tony in Essex.
