I've come to the Lake District to take on the Coniston Magnificent 7 hiking trail. This lake district hike takes on 7 Wainwright walks. With a wild camp halfway through, this is a great way to experience the coniston mag 7 to it's fulliest.

I'm testing out the new Nortent Vern 1 3S backpacking tent as well as the new Fjallraven Kajka X-Latt 45 backpack.

The weather was great throughout with clear views from all the summits and not too much wind for my wild camping location.

Wetherlam – 762m
Swirl How – 802m
Great Carrs – 788m (features a WWII bomber crash memorial)
Grey Friar – 770m
Brim Fell – 796m
The Old Man of Coniston – 803m (highest point)
Dow Crag – 778m
