Haystacks
Haystacks A dry day and a walk up Haystacks. Wainwright adored Haystacks, calling it “the best fell-top of all” for its “beauty, variety and interesting detail”. He famously described it as a “shaggy terrier in the company of foxhounds” due to its unique, rugged character amidst more imposing neighbours.
Buttermere
Buttermere A typically wet day in the Lake District. The plan was to walk around Buttermere and up Haystacks but because of the rain Haystacks can wait for another day. Still managed a nice walk around Buttermere and a drive over Honister Pass
