Nice calm warm but cloudy day. Ideal for long 5 hour up. N down and scramble. Beautiful scenery and cafe at Honister is well worth a visit. I decided to do a loop to Black Sail valley pass the youth hostel then climb up behind Haystacks. Scramble there is fun. My second time. Most of the surrounding
