Day 2: Sun 16th: St Bees to Ennerdale YHA

Departed at 8.00 and headed back along the 3km we took yesterday to link back onto the official C2C path. Today we had the backpacks with us. Also, we had rain gear on as we were due to have some light rain. 

8am departure with backpacks today 

Climbing Dent Hill 330m Elevation

Top of Dent Hill.  If you zoom in on Chris’s head you can see Sellafield.

We stopped at Ennerdale Bridge for lunch and a welcome rest after doing 15km. 

Behind us is Ennerdale Valley and Ennerdale Water

Thought this would be easy but in places we were climbing!

Ennerdale Water done! 

After we cleared Ennerdale water we had about 3 Km to the hostel. Today was a total of 27km. Weather wise it was perfect as we only had one light shower. 

The hostel was typical YHA but there was no Internet and no Mobile Data as there was no coverage in the area. 

Dinner was bangers and mash with a veggie option. 

The duty manager was Jon who was one week in the job having been previously a web designer and we also met Tim who was walking the Wainwrights and had great local knowledge and who worked for McCains making chips 20 tons of chips an hour.
