    Hiking

    Scarth Gap is a great, gradual ascent from Buttermere or Ennerdale. Turn left at the cairn that marks the top of the pass to ascend Haystacks or turn right to ascend Seat and on to High Crag

    Been up here twice this week already once via High Crag and once via Hay Stacks. Great place for a rest with stunning views.
