  • This Walk to Hay Stacks and Fleetwith Pike Is Not Over-Long at 5.2 Miles but Is Not to Be Underestimated in Terms of Effort
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Hay Stacks and Fleetwith Pike Starting point and OS Grid reference Pay and Display car park at Gatesgarth Farm on the B5289 (NY 195150) Ordnance Survey map OL4 – English Lakes North Western Distance 5.2 miles Date of Walk 25 May 2016 Traffic light rating Introduction: This walk to Hay Stacks and Fleetwith Pike is not over-long at 5.2 miles but is not to be underestimated in terms of effort. If, through desire or necessity you need to shorten it, you can miss out Fleetwith Pike and descend after Hay Stacks, via Warnscale Beck, reducing the overall distance to 4.2 miles. The route mostly follows paths which are clear on the ground. Not all marked on the OS map but this is Access Land where you can pretty much go where you like. In deciding whether to descend Fleetwith Edge from the Pike, I must mention that this is a merciless, very steep descent, extremely hard on the knees. If you have any sort of knee issues, I recommend the Warnscale Beck way down. Whilst perhaps not on a par with Striding or Sharp Edges in terms of danger, Fleetwith Edge is not without risk. Indeed, as you get to the bottom, there is a white cross memorial to one Fanny Mercer, who, in 1887, fell to her death here! Take care. If you are feeling energetic, this walk can be treated as an extension of my Red Pike and High Stile walk, from the Scarth Gap Pass point, returning to Buttermere via the lakeside path.
