Today's walk: Haystacks - dedicated to the memory of AW born 100 years ago today


Haystacks from Gatesgarth


the head of Buttermere from the path to Scarth Gap ..


.. and from the slopes of Haystacks


Crummock Water, Buttermere and Grasmoor from high on Haystacks


Haystacks summit from the summit tarn with Great Gable behind


Pillar from Haystacks summit tarn


High Crag from Haystacks summit tarn


Great Gable and Kirk Fell from Haystacks summit cairn


Green Gable and Great Gable from the two nameless tarns on the east ridge of Haystacks


Green Gable and Great Gable from Innominate Tarn where Wainwright's ashes were scattered ..


.. and the sun appears for a couple of minutes for an appropriately moody shot


from near Blackbeck Tarn a hailstorm is seen sweeping in over Buttermere


zooming in on Buttermere and High Snockrigg


Green Gable and Great Gable from Blackbeck Tarn with hailstones lit by the flash


the same shot without flash


looking back at the cliffs on the north side of Haystacks ..


.. and again without the flash


Crummock Water and Buttermere as the mist clears


High Crag freshly coated in hailstones


zooming in on Crummock Water and Buttermere


the northern cliffs of Haystacks from the descent path


a white coating of hailstones in Warnscale Bottom


Haystacks from the foot of the track
