Haystacks and Buttermere - Jan 2025

[@caroledryburgh8937]

Hi Peter. Happy New Year to you. Very nice countryside you're visiting here. How long a walk did you talk on each occasion (Haystacks and round the lake)? What is the elevation of Haystacks? Lovely view from up there and, despite the temperature, a superb day for it. Love, Alan.

@@caroledryburgh8937 Hi Alan, happy new year to you both too. The Haystacks walk was about 9-10km and the summit is 600m although I started off around 100m. The worst part was the descent over loose scree and ice. Buttermere was flat and about 6km. I'm still suffering from aching muscles but I achieved my goal! It was truly magnificent up there on a crystal clear day.
