Description
A beautiful view from the top of Haystacks in the English Lake District.
Haystacks was the favourite summit of influential guidebook author Alfred Wainwright. He neglected to name the fell as a whole in his "best half-dozen" at the end of the Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells because of inferior height, 597 m (1,959 ft) but stated that "for beauty, variety and interesting detail, for sheer fascination and unique individuality, the summit area of Haystacks is supreme. This is in fact the best fell-top of all." Wainwright's ashes were scattered by his wife Betty near the shores of Innominate Tarn.

Thank you Richard. It's a great place to sit and rest after the long hike uphill.
