Solo Hiking Wansfell Pike And Baystones From Ambleside

Parking at Rydal Road car park in Ambleside, I walk the 1½ miles from behind the Salutation Hotel and follow the very quiet Stock Ghyll Lane, passing the waterfalls until I see the sign post for the first summit of the day Wansfell Pike. There begins a short (½ mile) but very steep climb up the stone steps to Wansfell Pike, which, despite it’s amazing views over Ambleside, Windermere and the Fairfield Horseshoe is not a Wainwright summit. The highest point and actual Wainwright summit is Baystones, which I bag by dropping down from Wansfell Pike and following the dry stone wall to the second and final summit of the day, bagging another Wainwright on a bitterly cold winter's day.
