The weather CHANGED RAPIDLY wild camping on the Newlands Horseshoe!

This wild camp became an unexpected solo backpacking tent test! I came to the Lake District to take on the Newlands Horseshoe with the idea of wild camping on the summit of Robinson. As I was hiking the weather was glorious, but when I pitched my new Nortent Varde 1 tent, the weather changed rapidly. The strong wind came from nowhere and was not forecast at all. My backpacking gear had a real test in the cold and wind. My camping gear gave me real confidence solo camping in poor conditions. The Newlands Round is an awesome hiking trail in the Lake District taking on 6 Wainwright Walks including Cat Bells, Maiden Moor, High Spy, Dale Head, Hindscarth and Robinson. Check out my Instagram for some awesome photos https://www.instagram.com/backpacking_uk/ Total weight was approx 13kg including food, water and beers.
