Haycock is a Western Lake District Wainwright fell that can be accessed from a few different angles when linked to other Wainwrights. From the North East, it can be walked from Steeple or Scoat Fell. From the South it can be walked from Seatallan or Middle Fell. From the North West it can be walked from Caw Fell. I've tried all approaches and it's all great hill walking!

Running

Haycock, at 2,615 feet (797 m), is one of the most westerly high summits in the Lake District. It's fairly remote, being a reasonable distance from any road starting points, so you won't see many people when running here. Great views though, both east into the high fells and west out over Whitehaven to the Irish Sea.
