Innominate Tarn on Haystacks is where Alfred Wainwrights ashes were scattered. These are his own words, taken from his Western Fells guidebook - "All I ask for, at the end, is a last long resting place by the side of Innominate Tarn, on Haystacks, where the water gently laps the gravelly shore and the heather blooms and Pillar and Gable keep unfailing watch. A quiet place, a lonely place. I shall go to it, for the last time, and be carried: someone who knew me in life will take me and empty me out of a little box and leave me there alone. And if you, dear reader, should get a bit of grit in your boot as you are crossing Haystacks in the years to come, please treat it with respect. It might be me."

I knew Wainwright's ashes were scattered here but didn't know his own words and reading Ad Nic's entry above brought a little tear to my eye. As avid wanderers of the hills we all have that connection to our own special place. This is his and I will always remember that now.....

Great little tarn with 360 views. Perfect for a sandwhich.
