Whiteless
Pike, Thirdgill Head Man,
Wandope and
Grasmoor with
Paul D.
We started the walk from the car park behind the Fish
Inn at Buttermere. There had been lots of rain earlier in the week so we
were a little mistrustful of the weather forecast which suggested some
sunshine. In the event it was a beautiful, sunny day from start to finish.
The walk was superb and the views excellent. The Haystacks bitter back at
the Fish Hotel where we rested our weary legs at the end the walk was also
first class.
