After only a couple of hours sleep, a brew and cereal bars for breakfast we were off again set for Seatoller. The day started overcast but soon cleared to be a nice morning with some great views across Ennerdale water in to the Lake District. The walk past Ennerdale water and through the forest to black sail youth hostel seemed to take forever and the layers were soon off and sun cream on. We stopped at black sail youth hostel for lunch and met the couple from New Zealand once again after briefly meeting them earlier walking near Ennerdale water. We also met a group of people who looked in the 60’s who were nearing the end of their trip walking the coast to coast east to west, this gave us confidence and was nice to chat to them for a short while.

We arrived in Seatoller at 17:30 suitably dishevelled and limping to find our bags left outside Seatoller farm with no one around to speak to. After searching around we found the chap who ran the farm who directed us 500 meters down the road with our suitcases to the camp, and with showers back up at the farm and limited facilities at the camp I was a bit disappointed in Seatoller farm to be honest.
After pitching the tent with a collection of pegs found at the site after leaving our pegs in Ennerdale we had a mile to walk to Rosthwaite for something to eat as the only pub in Seatoller closed at 6, which was also the village shop & tea room! This was my first real low moment of the walk as I began to panic we would not get any food this evening after a really tough second day and it was Sarah who kept up the spirits on night 2, helped with chicken & chips in a basket and a couple of beers at the Scarfell riverside bar in Rosthwaite!
