3 EPIC Days Backpacking & Wild Camping in the Lake District

SIMPLY STUNNING! Here is my 3 days backpacking and wild camping in the lake district vlog. This includes hiking 11 wainwrights plus setting up wild camp in 2 spectacular mountain wild camping locations. The uk weather was stunning and showcased the lake district national park in all it's glory although backpacking in these temperatures was extreme. We started our backpacking uk trip in the Langdales, in between the southern and central fells of the Lake District national park. It was hot and humid all weekend which meant the hiking was tough and sleeping whilst wild camping was hot. Our wild camping spots were perfect and we were so lucky to see beautiful sunrises, sunsets and even a cloud inversion. Backpacking does not get better than this!

However, @garethrichardson9806 was wild camping on top of Pike of Stickle with his drone the same time we were up Langdale Pikes. He captured the events perfectly and it’s certainly a video I’ll look back on. If you want to see what it was REALLY like up there check his video out… https://youtu.be/7lyOzgGGek4?feature=shared If you are into your hiking, backpacking and wild camping please SUBSCRIBE @BackpackingUK Thanks, Andy. #wildcamping #lakedistrict #wildcampinguk
