Next goal: Haystacks - favourite peak of Wainwright himself - and we spent the next hour or so thinking it was the high one with the snow on, and worrying that that the approach looked a bit steep and snowy (slippery?) and also that that the clouds were liable to envelope it at any moment. Realised subsequently that this was in fact High Crag, reached Haystacks sooner and more easily than expected and could continue our route round and back down towards Buutermere (the Lake) without having to bail out! Loved just looking at High Crag though, sooo many photos… Last two are looking back whence we came, Haystacks at right, bothy hidden in the middle somewhere, above the the sliver of whitewater stream #lakedistrict #highcrag #hiking #buttermere

We had only hiked a mile or two up to this point but were v grateful for some respite from the rain and a chance to eat our sarnies and flapjacks in the dry. Smudges on some photos - wet hand, wet phone - couldn’t get the rain off the lens! Decided to press on and up towards Haystacks and High Crag (mountains, round to the left in the third photo) as far as the weather would allow… #warnscalebothy #buttermere #lakedistrict #hiking

Rainy yesterday and snow had appeared on the tops of the mountains. We decided to try a route up to Warnscale Head bothy, a shelter built on the mountainside near Buttermere in the 1750s for the slate miners, and now maintained and unlocked so hikers can use it to rest or escape the weather. @suzehaworth had wanted to visit for ages. Delighted it to reach it easily enough, great place to eat our sandwiches. #warnscalebothy #lakedistrict #buttermere #hiking

Gentler hike yesterday, a loosener to stretch our tired legs a bit without overdoing it. Still, 8 miles and 3 Wainwrights - Walla Crag, Bleaberry Fell and High Seat - and more amazing views. This is the flatter, heathery area between the last two, looking back towards Keswick. #lakedistrict #hiking #wainwrights #wainwrightbagging

Finally able to get away for a few days. Feeling v fortunate to be able to spend a week in the Lakes. Newlands Horseshoe yesterday. 12 odd miles, 6 Wainwrights and fantastic views everywhere. Great to be back! #lakedistrict #newlandsvalley #wainwrights #wainwrightbagging
