Lake District Walks | Haystacks to Fleetwith Pike
In late September 2022, Neil pays a visit to a Lake District legend, and his favourite fell. He climbs Haystacks beside stunning Buttermere, Alfred Wainwright's favourite of the Lakeland fells, and descending Fleetwith Pike via the steep Fleetwith Edge.
Check out the full route here: explore.osmaps.com/route/2091...
While on Haystacks, he pays a visit to the last resting place of Alfred Wainwright: Innominate Tarn, and checks out the location for the latest film in the Mission: Impossible franchise (Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning - Part One) that had recently been filming near (or, more accurately, over) Buttermere.
Thanks to Mark Richards - markrichardswalking.co.uk/ - for guidance (via Twitter!) on Fleetwith Edge as a descent. If you haven't already done so, check out his excellent walking guides, which we rely on a lot, for planning and generally as very good reads!
You don't have to climb all the way to Fanny Mercer's Cross to donate to Cockermouth Mountain Rescue - you can donate to them via their website: www.cockermouthmrt.org.uk/ or cafdonate.cafonline.org/17630...

I am here laughing!! Fabulous video Neil
Just did Haystacks today, I went clockwise. Amazing views at the top and filled my water bottle up on the ascent. Best water I've ever had.
Really enjoyed that, super video in great conditions. You really showed that getting up to Haystacks is far from straightforward. Loved the descent from Fleetwith Pike, one I will have to do sometime. Regards, Ashley
Thank you so much for this video.
that was another lovely walk and I enjoyed it very much.
Thanks for another lovely video
Neil, another great video and terrific walk, glad you got the sunshine eventually. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. Regards Kevin
We did this route down Fleetwith pike, I can honestly say it was scary. In certain parts I went down on my bum. When near the edge looking at cars going up honnister pass, they looked like dinky cars. I wouldn’t recommend going down it, unless your a thrill seeker.
As ever a great video. Really looking forward to the Mission Impossible films, anticipating a lot of Lakes District action as Tom Cruise was also jumping out of a helicopter the last time i was in Buttermere in September 2021 as well.
Excellent! Wonderful! So enjoyable! Thank you!
Great video … thanks! We’re thinking of doing this next week including the walk from Red Screes…
Lovely video. Alas, my trip to the UK this summer by-passed the Lake District. However, I did take the opportunity to go to Wales and take the cog-rail train 3/4ths the way up Mt Snowden; a consulation prize.. Next time, I will hike up all the way to the summit instead. Do beware when you hike up Snowden, one false step on the north slope and you plummet to your death 1,000 - 2,000 feet down; and do take with you warm clothing, water, cellphone and snacks. And, yes, the Lake District is on my wish list for another trip to the UK.
Fantastic! Thank you for another great video. My favourite show!
Brilliant, very enjoyable.
Wow what a walk and brilliantly video.d
Excellent footage . Thankyou
You’ve just retraced our route in April 2021 except the fleetwith decent we did the sheer steep drop not zig zag down, loved your video and snippets of info.
