A circular walk in the Northern Fells to complete two Wainwright peaks and a visit to the Innominate Tarn. Meeting in Buttermere we walk along the side of Buttermere and then up the Scarth Gap Pass before a steep climb to the top of Haystacks (597m) before walking past the tarn to ascend Fleetwith Pike (648m). We will then come down Fleetwith Edge before coming back along Buttermere. If the weather is bad or it is very icy underfoot we will complete a shorter walk around Buttermere and climb Rannerdale Knots.
