Today is supposed to be clear views but cloudy, we opt for quite an easy walk from Honister to take in all of the Hay Stacks peaks and the tarns.

Buttermere and Crummock Water beyond

The mighty Pillar

Odd mini summits all over the place

Indy races ahead. Come on !

Scafell Pike centre distance, Great Gable on the left

As we round Hay Stacks, a good view of Ennerdale Water

Indy admires the fantastic vista of Buttermere and Crummock Water from Hay Stacks. The High Stile ridge is to the left, May 23, 2025

Excellent viewpoints from the Hay Stacks Peaks

This is from a lower knoll slightly to the North

We are now at Innominate Tarn. If you compare with our previous visits, you will see how low the water level is

More ducks than last time !

Indy is very happy that we also spend time to explore Blackbeck Tarn
