Hay Stacks and Buttermere Edge - Four peaks in one walk.

Val & I had started this walk before back in 2016, as detailed here, but it was clearly too much for Val and so we cut it short.  So upon returning to the Lakes in May 2018, I set off by myself.

Again catching the bus to Honister Mines, I set off to climb Hay Stacks and Buttermere Edge, which included High Crag, High Stile and Red Pike.

This was a "glad I've done it, but never again" walk!  All the loose scree along Buttermere edge made ascent hard and descent positively scary. If anyone asked by advice - I'd say take walking poles to help balance and move on the scree.

Ullswater : Howtown to Glenridding

A holiday with wider family is always a balancing act of doing something together yet going off for a long walk which others may not be able to cope with.  

In this case, during a holiday in the Lake District, it was boat trip down Ullswater, but I got off and walked back, while the others stayed on the boat !
