Descent from haystacks | Lauralj84 | 24/06/2021 |
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. | vegibagger | 20/05/2021 |
Along the normal path. | Andrew Pearson | 19/05/2021 |
Final day of Synges and Lakeland Tumps | conanharrod | 09/05/2021 |
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 Mackay | 27/03/2021 |
With Alfie. On our way back to the van at Honister Hause. | Dangerous Dave | 05/12/2020 |
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 Kernow1 | 25/09/2020 |

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. | NorfolkPT21 | 10/07/2020 |

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 Wanderer | 27/10/2019 |
