Another beautiful walk again. Just love it. The route you did was stunning. I am.not competent enough to do that to be fair. But I would love to do Fleetwoth Pike and Haystacks and take in Warnscsle Botthy for that view. Would take me all day. It's definitely one I would love to do. Thank you.
Thank you , you could do it from Honister Slate mine and take in both maybe , I don't know on your fitness level but even if you couldn't do haystacks you could do fleetwirh pike , the beat view of Buttermere from there too
After seeing this video a few days ago I decided to try this route up to Haystacks. So yesterday, I spent my 54th Birthday doing just that. The weather was awful, rain a plenty, cloudy on and off, but we thoroughly enjoyed this route, albeit quite a challenge. Had lunch in the bothy then headed up to Haystacks, loving that walk along, it felt so other worldly. And not a soul to be seen. Celebrated with cake at the summit. Fantastic day so far. Then came the descent. Holy crap!! Probably the scariest experience of our lives. Those scrambles down most definitely not to be done when wet! But we did it, we survived it. Phew! Thank you so much for showing us this route Tracey. Here's to the next one!
@julie-annehennessy8629 I'm so pleased you did it , I know what you mean the descent is challenging , to do it in the wet must have took nerves of steel. I bet you felt a great sense of achievement afterwards. Happy 54th BTW, here's to many more adventures. I'm posting Eagle Crag round soon , you would love that
Wow! I think I'm gonna do the same, we were originally gonna visit infinity pool only, but after this video I've changed my mind! BTW I'm 54 too! Glad you had a fab day
@paulfastbikes361 check it out next time you go up that way ....its proper cute ..I never knew about this route until I was reading Waimrights book the other week.
Still on catch up🤣love watching these videos while im having my brekkie. Its been a mad couple of weeks. Camping in Borrowdale and my son gets married tomorrow so its been full on. Although ive done Haystacks a couple of times Ive never used that route up or down or visited the bothy so that looks such a good route to explore. Hard to beat that view from the summit in good weather. Many thanks Tracey, Andy and Billy ATB
@tonypilki3 I hope the wedding goes well, what a happy occasion, let's hope the sun shines.This route to the Bothy is now one of my faves.you will love it.
@@Traceyattrill-Essexgirlinwild We had a great day thankyou Tracey. Registry Office then a lovely meal for about 20 people. A bigger do this Saturday theyve hired a village hall for friends and family 150 going could get messy😂
Hi Tracey, the Buttermere area is so stunning, and it always seems like no matter how many times you go there, there’s always something else to explore. Like you I’ve never been up that path from Warnscale Bottom, I’ve always kept left at the junction. A couple of times I’ve meant to head down that path and missed the turning. Haha Hope you have had a lovely weekend. All the best Dave 😀🥾⛰
Thank you so much for this one. I have a route going up Fleetwith then over to Haystacks and coming down the track you came up. I have never seen a video on it, so this was perfect to see how it was and the lay of the land. Looks like a great way up or down, no scrambles, and relatively gentle. The waterfalls and Infinity Pool are just icing on the cake for that.
Tracey, Andy and Billy. You never fail to amaze us with the fantastic views when you pan the camera around. Also the drone footage. Thanks for sharing once again. ATB x
Really good walk that and in decent weather. I've done the walk but in the opposite way to you. Not many views can equal that of looking down the Buttermere valley. Terrific drone footage as always. Very enjoyable watch.
Oh Tracey, this has got to be one of my favourite places in the whole wide world. The tracks, the mountains, tarns and waterfalls are just too beautiful for words. Haystacks with all its knobbly bits is so lovely. I wondered if Wainwright had come back as a duck there on Innominate tarn😀 The view of Gable and Pillar from there is stunning especially with that bit of cloud around it. The light on your way down on Scarth Gap was a bit special too. I've been to Warnscale Bothy a couple of times. The last time I was up with my son but couldn't find it coming from Dubs Hut. He wasn't too pleased ha! Was up on Helvellyn on Monday. The weather was great. Came up by that path by the beck & waterfalls that lead up to Grizedale Tarn and onto Dollywagon. Nice route if you're a scaredy cat like me and don't want to do the edges! Say hello to Andy and Billy. Bye and thanks for sharing your fantastic walk. David
Thanks David , it's definitely one of my favourite walks now , that route from Raise Beck to dollywagon is a great route, you never know I might see you on the fells one day
The Bothy is in what ya might term ' a prime location' Tracey 😊😊❤ Mister Andy made full use of the drone 😊😊 should imagine the way sociam media wiorjs this place is in big demand so people can show thw world were they are !!!!! A lovely area this & it made for a great vlog on ymthw channel 😊❤ regards to yoo & Andy & of course Billy Bob alias The Rockstar 🐶🐕❤
Hi Tracey, Gatesgarth carpark, so familiar as I left my car there for a week while I did my first survival course from Gatesgarth bothy. Billy dying for someone to throw him a rock. Several other TH-camrs have shown the route to the infinity pool, one couple did it in January, but they were early twenties and so still indestructible. They did emerge purple though. I bet another couple of weeks and you will have to queue to get in. I keep looking at your hat wondering if it is a Tilley? As for the bothy, I've seen a video where there was a near punchup as too many people had aimed for it. The videoing couple had a tent and just moved out to avoid the mobile disco partying crowd. Oh for Wainwright with a plasma gun 🔫 😎, bet he looked up from his resting place that night, and had a few choice words to say. How is Billy doing, must be close to 1,100 by now? Great weather you had. Think I know most of those paths, I wonder how many weiry legs have trod that cement path back to Gatesgarth. Cheers Graham
Oh dear its a double edged sword isn't it , social media has made the Bothy and the pools very popular , the village at legburthwaite has even closed the village hall carpark due to the infinity pool above getting g very popular. I'm sure Wainright would not approve but then again he made these hills popular too haha ....a different type of generation though I'm afraid.
Hi Tracey, following our chat at Bowness Knott car park on Monday, I looked at this as a possible route to Haystacks - it looks like everything I want from our final walk to end our Wainwright challenge. Thank you so much and again it was great to meet you in person. Hope to see you soon on the fells :) Carolyn & Maggie xx
@carolynjohnstone-dt2ee hi Carolyn nice to meet you too...I think this will be a great way to end your Wainright journey ..hope to see you on the fells again with Maggie and hope you had a good journey home
Heading to Warnscale bothy this week and onto Haystacks afterwards. This is a terrifc video and gave me so much information for my trip. Thanks so much. Liked and subbed.
@@Traceyattrill-Essexgirlinwild It was amazing. Great night in the both, (apart from the mice). Walked to Haystacks, High Crag, High Stile, and Red Pike the day after.

Thanks Dave , it is a bit tricky to find it from the top , maybe go from bottom ...such a good view looking down and up
Absolutely superb production, better than a BBC job !
Thanks so much!
Thanks very much for that ....really appreciate that 😃
Lovely route with great views, both you and Andy and the rockstar of course make great vids ATVB 👍
Thank you Richard much appreciated

Glad this vlog has given you an insight to your planned route ....you will love this way , its an easy path too
Lovely scenic video Tracey and Andy, might be a bit much for me but up that way in September , wont know until i try
Thank you...enjoy your time in September , there are other options other than the scramble ....such a lovely valley and place
I found this quite emotional and lifted my depression and such a beautiful big doggy Billy...! Very good production. 🥰
Awe I'm so glad you told me this ....thank you for taking the time to watch and comment , getting out in nature does wonders for the soul , take care
