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: https://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 - https://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 https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/17630...
