Pillar and Haystacks from Honister
Wainwrights: Haystacks, Pillar
Hewitts: Pillar
Date walked: 11/10/2020
Time taken: 8 hours
Distance: 15.8km
Ascent: 1480m
A much-needed, sanity-preserving walk on the fells, where the becks still flow, the grasses still nod in the breeze and everything remains as it always has been. For a few hours in the October sunshine, all talk of infection rates, three-tier restriction measures and mass unemployment is blissfully forgotten. Nothing up there for Boris's tousled image to appear on; just white clouds mirrored in tarns and puddles, and the silently enduring rocks.
