7/7 Little Round How, Great Round How, Seavy Knott, Haystacks South East Top, Innominate Peak, Haystacks (repeat) and finally Green Crag. All from free parking half way up to Honister from Seatoller. Easy enough walk. Lost our camera on the way round but some nice soul found it and handed it in at Honister Mines (thank you very much whoever you are).nickywood120/03/2022

Parked the night on Wed 19th in Honister slate mines car park. As grim rainy forecast blowing in from noon-ish, hyper early start at 5.30. Even at my slow pace reckoned is get round a triangle of Fleetwith Pike, Haystacks 'n Brandreth in about 6 hours. Rains arrived early about 10.30. Got well soaked in the last hour.vegibagger20/05/2021

Final day of Synges and Lakeland Tumpsconanharrod09/05/2021
With Sarah Evans, sunny day turning cloudy as day progressed, snow on high peaks including a dusting on Haystacks. Parked at Gatesgarth Farm, ascended via Scarth Gap Pass, onto summit, via tarns, along to just below Dubs Quarry, to descend alongside Warnscale Beck/ waterfall and into Warnscale Bottom using old mine path. Very cold and windy on the top, with definite wind chill factor, however stunning views. Haystacks is essentially a big chunk of rock with no defined summit, due to its rocky, craggy nature. I'm not sure I understand its appeal and I wont be rushing to do it again. However maybe a second explore on a warmer day may change my mind.Ruth Mackay27/03/2021
With Alfie. On our way back to the van at Honister Hause.Dangerous Dave05/12/2020
Parked at the limited parking area at Gatesgarth (£4 cash only). Took the bridleway up Warnscale Bottom and up into Dubs Bottom. Crossed the beck and took the path up the southern flank of Green Crag. Left it at its highest point on a faint path that wound up through the crags to the summit. Then descended to join the main Haystacks path, detouring to scale Pt. 544m. Visited both cairns on the Haystacks summit ridge before descending on the scrambly path down to Scarth Gap and onwards to Peggy's Bridge and Gatesgarth. Solo. 9.7km, with 630m of ascent. 4hrs 30mins.Man of Kernow125/09/2020

Solo fr Honister. Dry, mild, strong NW wind, mostly overcast but some brightness. Trying to run but not much of today was runnable, esp with stiff legs after yesterday's first hill for a year. This section (fr Fleetwith Pike to Haystacks) was quite tricky in terms of route-finding, took time.NorfolkPT2110/07/2020

Found a group of 4 lost hikers who had been up to haystacks and ended up in circles. Tried convincing them to follow us back but they had already called out Mountain RescueSockpan02/11/2019
From Haystacks SE top. Took a detour via spot 582. Why isn't it in any lists? What's the rationale? Enjoyed the edge walk down to Green Crag. Back to Honister. Very satisfying walk in atmospheric conditions and dramatic scenery.Wycombe Wanderer27/10/2019
