Buttermere - The long ridge of high land separating Buttermere from Ennerdale is uniformly dull on it's Ennerdale flanks and largely given over to conifer plantations, but the northern slopes are as exciting as the southern ones are boring. Here the retreating ice took great bites from the ridge, exposing sharp-edged glacial combes buttressed by fine crags where ravens soar. This is classic fell walking country. The suggested easier 5 mile [red] linear walk (with only 770ft ascent) involves getting dropped off at the top of Honister Pass and heading to Buttermere village via the magnificent 1900ft summit of Haystacks (Wainwright's favourite Lakeland fell) and Scarth Gap Pass. The suggested higher 13 mile  [black] circular route (with 4250ft of ascent) ) visits the summits of Starling Dodd (2086ft), Red Pike (2479ft), High Stile (2644ft), High Crag (2433ft) & Haystacks.
