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.
