Haystacks from Honister Slate Mine including Haystacks South East Top and Great Round How

Times have changed since the beautiful old pen and ink drawings and superbly written guide books... These days it's GoPro Drone and YouTube... But the Mountains will never change. “All I ask for, at the end, is a last long resting place by the side of Innominate Tarn, on Haystacks, “A quiet place, a lonely place. I shall go to it, for the last time, and be carried: someone who knew me in life will take me and empty me out of a little box and leave me there alone. And if you, dear reader, should get a bit of grit in your boot as you are crossing Haystacks in the years to come, please treat it with respect. It might be me." Alfred Wainwright - A lovely bluebird day in't Lakes and a wander from Honister Slate Mine with Billy and Tracey over Alfred Wainwrights final resting place Haystacks descending via the quieter lesser walked summits of Haystacks South East Top and Great Round How. Haystacks, or Hay Stacks, is a Mountain in the Lake District, situated at the south-eastern end of the Buttermere Valley. Although not of any great elevation (597 m, 1,958 ft), Haystacks has become one of the most popular fells in the area. This fame is partly due to the writings of Alfred Wainwright, who espoused its attractions and chose it as the place where he wanted his ashes scattered. Its large, undulating summit contains many rock formations, tarns and hidden recesses. #mountains #rivers #hills #hillwalking #fellwalking #waterfall #lakedistrict #cumbria #lakedistrictnationalpark #nature #uk #hiking #lakedistrictuk #thelakedistrict #adventure #lakes #getoutside #gitinamamgit #lake #outdoors #thelakes #walking #britain #travel #wainwrights #birketts #hewitts #marilyns #wellbeing #alfredwainwright #billbirkett #camping #rab #scarpa #lowalpine #northface #berghouse
