Fleetwith Pike & Haystackswith visits to two Bothies leaving from Honister 8miles, 2400ft
Thanks Danny for your company today on a 'Blue Sky Day' and a Gold star walk!
 |
| Fleetwith Pike our first climb after leaving Honister behind us |
 |
I was joined on my walk today by Danny, with Honister pass and the quarry works below. |
 |
| The sun was just rising over Grey Knotts |
 |

Zooming in on Melbreak Fell, the Solway coast and the Galloway peninsular. |

 |
On the descent from Fleetwith we called in with a little Christmas decoration for Dubs Hut bothy. |
 |
Shortly after we arrived at the very well camouflaged Warnscale bothy.... |
 |
.... where who should we find but Father Christmas doing a bit of fell walking! |
 |
| He had also brought some decoration for the bothy's window. |
 |
| A view from behind the bothy looking down into Warnscale |
 |
| We could also see our next climb to Haystacks.... |
 |
| ... whilst also looking back to Fleetwith Pike. |
 |
| We passed Blackbeck Tarn on the way to the summit |
 |
Here I am on the summit (1900ft) after losing a mitten, which was recovered on the descent! |
 |
| Finishing with a final walk down the route of the old quarry tramway |
