Six Days on the Cumbria Way with Jennifer Stevens


Listen Later

ennifer Stevens joins Rob to talk about her six-day walk along the Cumbria Way, one of England’s most scenic and accessible long-distance trails. She first walked it in 2021 and couldn’t resist returning — this time swapping wild camping for cosy farm stays and shepherd’s huts.

They discuss:

  • Why the Cumbria Way keeps calling her back

  • The mix of remote valleys and quiet villages

  • Her favourite overnight stays (including one that smelled of rhubarb)

  • How the Big Trail Adventures app made planning effortless

  • What she packs for a six-day trail

  • Whether she misses wild camping

  • And what makes the Lake District feel so uniquely “Cumbrian”

Jennifer’s warmth and attention to the small details — from sheepdogs to shepherd’s huts — make this an inspiring listen for anyone planning their first long-distance trail.
