Cumbria Way in June. Do I need to make reservations?

Question

Anyone here who has walked the Cumbria Way in the lake district in June?

Is the weather moderate? Is it recommended to pre-book B&Bs or are there enough accommodation facilities along the trip?

Looking forward to some nice tips!

Answer 1

It being the Lake District in June, you can expect rain, gorgeous sunshine, fog, wind, calm, hot and cold, so for the first part of your question:

• take layers of clothing, with an outer waterproof / windproof layer
• take a hat
• take sun screen
• take midge repellent

That's the UK for you - very variable :-)

For the second part - I would suggest booking B&B's, especially if the 5 day forecast is good, as the route can get very busy very fast. There is a lot of accommodation along the route, but you don't want to be stuck.
