Service Description
Join us on our Summer Solstice 2026 mega event! Taking in 7 Wainwrights in total, starting with watching the sunset from probably the best sunset view in the Lakes...Fleetwith Pike, with have to be seen to be believed views across Buttermere. Once darkness falls we head by torch light into the fells for summits of Grey Knotts, Brandreth, Base Brown, Green Gable, Great Gable and finishing on Alfred Wainwrights favourite fell...Hay Stacks, for the sun rising across the whole of the Lake District. After we have watched the sun come up for Summer Solstice 2026, we have a nice & easy stroll back down Scarth Gap Pass back to the start point. This is recommended for people with prior hiking experience and a good level of hill fitness. Distance 17km, 1478m of ascent.
