A great day climbing Haystacks and Fleetwith Pike today.
We set off from Gatesgarth just after 10am and climbed to Scarth Gap in good time and climbed the rocky path too the summit of Haystacks.
After the short descent to Innominate Tarn we stopped for lunch out of the cool breeze before continuing by Blackbeck Tarn and down to Dubbs before climbing the slopes of Fleetwith Pike.
The views from Fleetwith Pike were wonderful today, over the Buttermere Valley and out over the Solway to Scotland beyond.

Haystacks and Fleetwith Pike
A perfect day on Haystacks and Fleetwith Pike today.
We set off from Gatesgarth farm at 10am climbing the path to Scarth Gap, the weather was perfect, clear and sunny with great views down over Buttermere.
From Scarth Gap we had some good views over Ennerdale to Pillar, Great Gable and Kirk Fell but from the summit the views were amazing, across the Solway to Scotland in one direction and across the Lake District to Helvellyn in the other.
We stopped on the summit for a quick drink and to admire the views before continuing along the ridge to Innonimate Tarn and then Black Beck Tarn, stopping for lunch at Green Crag with views down over the Buttermere Valley.
After lunch we crossed to Dubbs quarry, taking a look in the bothy before climbing the slope to Fleetwith Pike.
The stunning views were now in front of us as we descended Fleetwith Edge back to Gatesgarth Farm, a great end to a great days walking.
