The glorious weather continued today and it ended up being really warm once the breeze died down a bit. This was a walk made up as I went along – I knew I wanted to go to Scoat Tarn as I have walked around it but never been down to it, and to Haycock as I haven’t been there for a while. It ended up as a sort of skinny figure of eight on the map and there seemed to be a lot of ups and downs on this walk and there were certainly no paths to follow for the traverse around to Scoat Tarn.

The path into Greendale. The climb to Seatallan is adjacent to Tongues Gills, the zig-zags across the gill can be seen directly ahead climbing the fell side.

Making a decision on the route before the descent from Haycock. I decided to contour around to Scoat Tarn nestling below Red Pike, directly above Caper in this photo.

Haycock. The grassy rake running diagonally left is the one I used in descent, the path I followed is the faint one form the 'Y' junction to the right.
