Hiking Haystacks - Wainwright's Favourite Fell - walking in the Lake District

Join us as we hike Haystacks, Alfred Wainwright's favourite fell in the Lake District! We have filmed our day's walk, starting at where we park our car at Gatesgarth Farm, we then hike and discover both Haystacks and Fleetwith Pike, where we descend back to our starting point...

    I'm taking my 7 year old daughter up Haystacks on Saturday on her first "proper mountain climb". She's been walking in the peak district with me and around the hills and moors of Yorkshire, and she cant wait. Your video was great. I did all of the main wainwright's many times years ago. I cant wait to get back up there this weekend. Thank you. Very inspiring.

    I have done and filmed the exact same walk twice in the last 18 months (last time 4 weeks ago) but each time the reverse to the way you did it, which (imo) is the best way to do it. Yes it's a canny pull up Fleetwith Pike but best to do that when you are nice and fresh and a gentler dissent back done to Buttermere. Still enjoyed watching your walk mind, cheers and well done, a tough old day, cheers Alan
