From near the Bridge Hotel Looking to Fleetwith Pike and Haystacks


There is a very nice flat walk around the lake after the more serious fell-walking. You can see Fleetwith Pike (but not the small white cross that occasioned the ascent up the ridge to the highest point you can see on the peak in the center). To the right you see the "sawtooth" which is Haystacks summit and the place of Innominate Tarn.

View Down from Fleetwith Ridge


So we climb up from the white cross. And find we continue to climb up! But this is the view of Buttermere looking back along the ridge.

View from the Top


Here is the view from Haystacks looking down towards Buttermere (the lake - also a village - but I have in mind the lake). Fleetwith Pike (mountain) is on the right. Climbed up its ridge and looped around clockwise. This image is a panorama of about a dozen individual images put together in autostitch. Don't forget to click on it to download the larger image.
