    Hiking

    So called due to the red coloured soil and stone, do be careful going down Red Pike as the paths have all but eroded and its mainly loose stones. If you park at Buttermere village and make Red Pike your first climb, then you can more or less keep going all day. High Stile, High Crag, Haystacks, Fleetwith Pike, Honister, and Dale Head are all on a circular route if you have the energy and time.

    On a good day you can see 5 of the Lake District lakes from this summit. Can you name them?

    I came to Red from Little Dodd but went down Red Pike to bag Dodd. Very loose shale and rocks on the way down so be careful. A beautiful peak though. Must be a bit of a slog to come up from the valley.
