Fleetwith Pike is the north-western shoulder of Grey Knotts.
It is bounded by Honister Pass to the north and Warnscale Bottom to the south-west, their two streams uniting beneath the fell in Buttermere.
The north west ridge rising almost from the lakeshore at Gatesgarth is named Fleetwith Edge, and is a striking feature from any direction.
The top of the fell is situated directly at the top of the edge, while a lower summit stands to the east atop Honister Crag.
Fleetwith Pike is lined on all sides by impressive crags, other than for the broad plateau leading across the Drum House to Grey Knotts.
Innominate Tarn is a small tarn in the north of the Lake District.
It is situated at 520 metres above sea level, near the summit of Haystacks. The word Innominate means "without a name".
Haystacks is topped by crags which giving a soaring curved profile from the settlement of Gatesgarth.
Warnscale Beck, one of the feeder streams of Buttermere, runs down beneath Green Crag from its source near Great Round How.
There are the remains of extensive quarries on the upper slopes of Warnscale, including Dubs, once served by a tramway from the summit of Honister Pass.
Across Warnscale is Fleetwith Pike, a satellite of Grey Knotts.
The summit sits on a short rocky spine, set at right angles to the ridge.
Both ends of the ridge have cairns, that at the northern end being the accepted summit. A lower parallel ridge lies just to the east.
The view is excellent, the high points being Gable Crag on Great Gable and the western panorama of Ennerdale Water and High Crag.
Crummock Water and Buttermere are also well seen.
The summit has a number of tarns. The highest is just below the top, generally referred to as the summit tarn but officially unnamed.
Halfway along the ridge is Innominate Tarn, a popular beauty spot with an indented rocky shore and a line of tiny islets.
At the eastern end is Blackbeck Tarn, a long slender pool which overflows through a cleft in the crags.

Thank you for another fantastic video. With your videos I can show my husband the walks that I have done as he is disabled and can't share them. Videos like this certainly help him to get a feel of the mountains. Thank you

Andrew that was absolutely amazing, great video with the most wonderful views and on Alfred's favourite place in the world along with his resting place. Keep doing what you're doing it's absolutely amazing and thank you so very much for sharing all this with us ♥️
Thank you for watching and for the very uplifting feedback it's a beautiful walk...lol I'm not getting much more than 5-6 miles in these days with all the filming and Drone flying...but it's worth it, I love it!!
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
i love that place. watching your video brings it all back.
Thanks for watching very much appreciated 😊 🙏
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Hi Andy and Billy. Another corker of a video. Funnily enough, we were only talking about doing Fleetwith Edge last week as we'd not gone up that way before - and lo and behold, you put up this video 😂😂. Will definitely be going up this way next time we're up - looks a great way up. Incorporating Haystacks will be great as well - love the unnamed tarn at the summit as well. Fab stuff - keep the vids coming. ATB Brian & Jill
Thanks again Brian and Jill for the great feedback very much appreciated it's a fantastic walk very dramatic a beautiful place just to take things easy....
Enjoy 😊🙏
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Really enjoyed this video, lovely views and good information on the route. Well done, let's have some more. Many thanks.
Thanks for watching Tim and the fab comment...keep watching them buddy and I'll keep making them... have a great weekend
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Hi Andy, I have been watching both yours and Tracey’s videos for some time now. I thoroughly enjoy them all and appreciate you sharing them. They make me yearn to be back in The Lakes. My next holiday is in June, if I can wait that long. Your local knowledge adds a lot to the videos and the addition of the drone footage makes a huge difference. Keep enjoying your walks which I look forward to seeing. All the best, Paul
Thanks Paul for the great feedback mate 🙏 what you see in't videos is what you get on the day I don't go home and overlay everything with voice overs and fancy map software (lol that's cause I ain't got any)...after 20 years of walking at least once sometime twice or three times a week I really do love this new found venture and the Drone flying 😊
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
What a fantastic five mile walk. You're right Andrew. It has everything. A bit of scrambling. False summits, Unbelievable views everywhere you look. I absolutely love this area with it's beautiful tarns and knobbly tops. Warnscale Bothy is my favourite bothy in the Lakes. What a view from that window eh? I've been there two or three times but the last time I went with my son and grandson I couldn't find the bloody thing! I went the the way you did but think I wandered off the path too soon. They weren't too pleased ha ha. Oh, if only I could get up and down like THE ROCK STAR. Well done Billy.
Thanks as always for watching David...aye Warnscale is a hard one to find tucked away a good way down the Gill...its a beautiful area isn't it...no surprise Wainwright wanted to rest there...take care my friend ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Just completed this walk today with added bonus of shoreline walks on north then south bank of lake from Buttermere Court Hotel car park. A perfect day in every way 10/10. Came down from Scotland especially for this and it was more than worth the journey.
Superb buddy pleased you enjoyed the walk thanks for watching and the great feedback very much appreciated
Tek care ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Great video Andy. Fantastic views and drone footage. Take care.
Thanks as always Yvonne very much appreciated 😊 🙏
ATVB Andy take care Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
A mighty impressive film Andy and a stunning route (a delightful mix of scrambling walking and views ⛰️⛰️⛰️🤩)
AW had a way with words and his quotes really do resonate with the fell walker don’t they 🙏🏼⛰️
Never summited Haystacks and this is the way ill do just that 🙏🏼⛰️
Billy boi Andy thanks 🙏🏼 for a epic film 🙏🏼
Best regards Simon 🤠👍🏔️
Congrats on 800 well deserved and you did it your way mate 😉⛰️
Thanks Simon Mate very much appreciated aye Wainwright sure had a way with words...what a man what an achievement!!
Have a great weekend Mate
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Another excellent one! I appreciate the drone footage from the side of the ridge so you realky can see how steep it is. I have this one planned out but added Black Star along with both bothies and a side jaunt over to Great Round How because why not. 😂
Hiya Michael doing Black Star and Great Round How is a great choice makes the walk the best six miles in't Lake District...from Great Round How drop down the fence and follow the Ridge line back past multiple little hidden Tarns and Haystacks East Top back to Innominate Tarn a much more quiet route 😉👌🏻
Thanks as always for watching buddy 🙏🏻
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
@@RockStar67 Ohh, yeah that path from GRH would work nicely! Is the scrambling down Haystacks one that looks worse than it really is? Sadly we were supposed to do Haystacks in May but by the time we got done with Red Pike/High Stile/High Crag in some extra thick clag we were just done. And the descent from High Crag was something else
@@mjkoehler73yes mate the route down Haystacks into Scarth Gap is definitely the most tricky bit of the walk plenty of foot and hand holds but definitely nicer on a dry day 👍🏻
Great episode. I haven't gone up Fleetwith Pike edge, looks good.
One of my favourite 5 mile (ish) walk is Rydal Water via Loughrigg Fell from Ambleside.
Hiya JP yes mate Rydal is a beautiful part of the Lakes a nice wander mate....Fleetwith Edge isn't to demanding a la'al bit exposure and hands on stuff but not as bad as some folk think, Thanks for watching buddy much appreciated ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Hi Andy & the ROCK STAR. Absolutely fantastic as ever. Ah Fleetwith Pike via Fleetwith Edge, the king of the false summit! 🤣
Some absolutely beautiful drone footage mate. Watching that made me jealous of Billy. I do wish I had the ability to scramble down as well as he does, he makes it look much more graceful than I do! 🤣
Thanks as always for sharing your adventure with us, and congratulation for passing the 800 subs. Brilliant stuff.
All the best
Dave
Thanks Dave for all your comments...fantastic getting passed that 800 mate I'm really hoping for that magical 1000 by New Year but no rush patience is the way... Lol i wish I could get down rocks like our Billy can mate...but then he is the ROCK STAR ⭐ I just follow him 😂
Thanks for watching have a great weekend bud ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Fantastic video, Andrew. Don't apologise for the length of the video - as you said, there is so much to see on this walk and you captured it perfectly!
Great comment Steve thanks Mate very much appreciated ATVB take care Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Well Andrew, that was awesome.. ive walked it many times, i now reside in Canada.. brought back memories.. 👍🙏
Thanks for watching Kenny very much appreciated mate...Canada is another level!! sounds awesome 👍🏻
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Well Andy yet another great vlog with this route up Fleetwith Edge 😊 some great views overlooking Buttermere ❤ the drone yet again does what it does best capturing a birds eye view of the landscape 😊😊 The great AW knew where he wanted his last port of call to be & looking at the tarn it's not hard to see why he chose it! You mentioned how many views the Borrowdale vlogs got & i think it shows how many people who visit zThe Lakes think this is a terrific place & I wouldn't disagree ❤ great walk with you & of course Billy Bob The Legendary Rockstar 🐶🐕❤
Aww thank you David your one of my most valued Subscribers you watch and comment on every video for that I can't thank you enough the channel is going really well at the moment I'm delighted as I love making the videos and especially flying the Drone...making memories for myself Tracey and Billy and hopefully helping a few folk out with routes and info on the way...Billys the Legend David in life and one day in memory he'll never be forgotten I'll see to that...have a fantastic weekend buddy ATVB Andy and your la'al pal the ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Love it Andrew, another fab vid. Thank you so much for taking the time to share. Great footage all round 👍🏼👏👏👏
Thanks Richard very much appreciated mate
ATB Andy and the ROCK STAR ⭐
Lovely video. Thanks for sharing it with us. I’ll be in Buttermere in May, this walk is now on my to do list
It's a great area...May is a great month on the Hills... could still be winter could be Summer who knows with Cumbria haha 🤣 hope you get some great weather and enjoy 😁
Thanks for watching Jonathan very much appreciated
Stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏
Hi Andrew and Billy, absolutely brilliant video mate, really enjoyed it. Haystacks is one I want to go to next if I can. Sadly I have only been up Castle Crag so far but we are hoping to be moving to the north of the country next year so I might achieve it hopefully 👍. Stay safe, cheers Glyn.
All the very best with your move to the North Glyn and many many more Mountains including Haystacks,
Thanks for watching ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
I put Fleetwith Edge off for a long time looking from other fells looks intimidating…done it a good few times now and a favourite …stopping for a rest a rest and looking over your shoulder at the views is epic…cheers pal for sharing keep up the hard work 👌
Thanks as always for watching Mike and dropping a comment...lots of folk are put off Fleetwith Edge it definitely looks worse than it is...a great la'al scramble.
Tek care and stay safe Marra ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Hey Andy, great walk and film. Myself and my wife were up Fleetwith on the 6th doing some some of the fells up there and I agree with you, stunning views looking down over Buttermere, we love it there though I must say it was great to see it from above with the drone footage, simply beautiful. We even went back there on Sunday just for a walk around Buttermere and although a short walk we just find it so beautiful. Length of your video was great, flew by watching which is testiment to you and the quality of your films. Great watch as usual mate, take care
Thanks Steve it gets a bit busy round Buttermere sometimes especially in't Summer but your right mate it's a beautiful village and valley...a feel good place mate...even has friendly farmers 🤣 have a great weekend mate I've almost got my next video finished lots more coming soon...lol also two still to edit
ATVB Andy and your pal the ROCK STAR ⭐
Truly breathtaking views Andy. I drove up the Honister pass from the direction of Buttermere a couple of years ago and the sight of the pyramid shape of Fleetwith pike looming over the road was awe-inspiring. I've got to get up there one day!
Ist a lovely route David a nice wander with nothing technical just a couple of short pull up hands on sections.
Thanks for watching and the great feedback
Tek care and stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Incredible video. All your local knowledge and experience makes your outputs so good and interesting. It brought back lots of memories too, just love that view down into Buttermere and Crummock, one of the best views in the world, possibly!! Regards, Ashley
Thanks Ashley I truly appreciate comments and feedback like this very much appreciated...have a great weekend bud ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Loved this one Andy. I remember clearly that descent off Haystacks. Never again! I missed Warnscale Bothy unfortunately, didn't know it was near Dubs hut. Well, there is a reason to go back. 😊
Thanks Andrea...lol aye I've lost Warnscale Bothy a couple of times in't past...im sure it moves about 🙄
It's a lovely rugged area I love all these Hills
Stay safe all the very best
Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
New sub, great vid mate looking forward to watching previous vids in my spare time 👍
Thanks for the Sub Mate very much appreciated 🙏 hope you enjoy our past adventures 😁 👍🏻
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Really enjoyed this one Andy, so many magnificent views all along the way. Your efforts, camera work and commentary is much appreciated, quality stuff. I like the way Billy walks a little way ahead of you on the the rough parts, knowing which way to turn and then stops to wait for you, a very smart and loyal dog. ATB Roo.
He's a brilliant companion Roo what a lovely nature he has too...he realy was a nightmare pup though very hard work...dont think he ever slept for the first year just chewed my home to bits 🤣
Thanks for watching and the fantastic feedback have a great weekend 🙏🏻
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR Billy Foster ⭐
Brilliant Andy. Did this same walk only a month ago and loved it. Shows how much more drone footage can add to memories of the day, and the landscape,than taking photos alone. Yes your videos may be getting “better”, but they have always been enjoyable and informative. Glad to have been one of the earliest subscribers 😊. Atb👍🏻
Thanks Stuart for a fantastic uplifting comment...what you see with me on the day is what you get...no fancy voice overs added later and definitely no click bait...have a fantastic weekend buddy
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
What a wonderful video Andrew, all familiar although I haven't been on Fleetwith Edge for quite a while (will do that again next year with a bit of luck). Just the right mix of film and drone footage, plus commentary and music, all spot on. My favourite part was the drone footage from Haystacks, got lump in my throat watching that for some reason :-) Well done, look forward to your next film...
Aww thanks again for watching I really do appreciate the fantastic feedback...you know me Maggie no fancy voice overs or click bait what you see on the day is what you get in the video...have a fantastic weekend Maggie ATVB Andy 😊 🙏🏻
Fantastic video as always... your content and attention to detail is first class.
Thanks David very much appreciated mate
ATB Andy and the ROCK STAR ⭐
Thanks for the film, hoping to walk that very route in April next year, hopefully we get the same views as yourself, love Buttermere...🙂
Thanks for watching Brian very much appreciated...good luck with the weather 🤞 and yeah Buttermere is a beautiful valley
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Hi Andy
I have just discovered that you have your own channel! I have subscribed and have been following Tracey for a while but didn’t realise you both had channels. Just love the Buttermere and Crummock valleys. My husband and I have climbed Haystacks and visited Warnscale Bothy but we have yet to conquer Fleetwith Pike. Looks like you climbed a great way up it. Love your drone footage. Wendy
Thanks for watching Wendy very much appreciated...yeah it's a lovely area...thanks also for Subscribing...have a lovely weekend 😊 🙏🏻
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
What a brilliant video, just subscribed can’t wait for your next video. 👍
Thanks Carol for the Sub hope you enjoy my videos as much as I enjoy making them 😊🙏🏻
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Fantastic video, I was on haystacks 4 days ago.its a great hike with amazing views, I've decided to invest in a drone to film my next hike, may I ask what drone do you use?
Keep up the great work.
Hiya Paul thanks for watching buddy very much appreciated 😊
I use a DJI mini 2 (4k) it's a great la'al drone mate not to expensive and it's great to control.
Have a great weekend mate tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
@RockStar67 thanks mate that's just what I wanted to hear. Didn't want to spend a fortune on my first drone and after seeing your video I'm gonna go out and buy one. Enjoy your weekend buddy.
@Paul-of3ut superb buddy you won't be disappointed 👍🏻
ATVB Andy 😊 ⭐
Fantastic video, really enjoyed it. You’re spot on with your opinion of the views off Fleetwith Pike towards Buttermere. We said the same a few weeks ago about it being the best in the Lake District 👍
Thanks guys there's definitely something special about these Hills old Wainwright sure found himself a beautiful resting place...thanks for watching
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Really enjoyed watching this. It's one of our favourite areas. We've not gone via fleetwith edge yet, I'm not sure if it's too pointy for me. What does Tracy think to it...I trust Tracy 😄
Hiya Claire...lol Tracey fully understands your concern she ain't done Fleetwith Edge ether and she oftern don't believe me when I tell her something is OK and she'll manage...a good day is what's needed for Fleetwith Edge nice dry rock in the Summer with someone who can help with a little encouragement and you'll smash it!!
Thanks as always for watching have a great weekend
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
@@RockStar67 I can look up at some fells I've already done and think I couldn't do it 😅 definitely one for a good day. Thanks to both of you for sharing your videos. They're great to watch and get ideas.
Fabulous video again Andy. Probably the best Ive seen ascending Fleetwith up the nose. We planned to do it when staying at Littletown in Spring but it turned out one of the hottest days of the year and we ended up just walking around the lake which was awesome. Its the one Wainwright ive not done in that area. Your drone footage just gets better all the time. Amazing views and of course lots of information along the way. Cheers Andy and The Rockstar
Awww Tony thank you mate you comment on every video I make so you'll see any improvement (lol hopefully improvement) as you'll have gathered mate what you see with me is what you get...if its not said on't Hill it's not said...no fancy voice overs added later and definitely no click bait..have a fantastic weekend buddy 😊
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
@@RockStar67 Its become my favourite channel Andy along with Traceys. Like you say down to earth, no frills, brilliant walks many off the beaten track, lots of information and superb drone footage and who could not love the Rock Star. Keep up the good work Andy!
Great Video Andrew, very informative. Keep up the good work👍
Thanks for watching Stephen and the great feedback ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Beautiful walk Andrew. You ar getting good with the drone. Best of luck out there.
Thanks for watching buddy best of luck yourself
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Great video Andy. We did a similar route in reverse back in 2021 (before I started filming) and added High Crag as it was Charlie's 50th Wainwright. He's rattled them off since and now only has 41 to go. I know what you mean about RUclips being a "tough nut": I've been at it for just over a year now and you were only my 95th sub! I actually wonder whether I'm wasting my time. Congrats on getting to 800. I'm sure you'll soon be at the "Holy Grail" of 1000!
Your not wasting your time buddy... definitely not keep pushing the videos there great quality...ill give you a shout out on my channel hopefully get to the first one hundred milestone every little helps 👍🏻
Well done Charlie your getting there Lad 🐶
Well done guys take care through the coming winter
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
@@RockStar67 Oh, thanks Andy. A shout-out would be brill - ta 👍
I'll do the same and see if it helps you over the 1000 mark.
Charlie's doing better than me with the Wainwrights - it took me 13 years to do them!
Looking forward to your Great Carrs video. Tony & Charlie.
One of my favourite places, but I could not do the Fleetwith nose its a bit to 'edgy' for me 😃😄😀
There's a wee bit of exposure closer to the top I fully understand your concern TB...if you ever attempt do it on a nice hot grippy rock summers day
Take care buddy thanks for watching 😊🙏🏻
ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐
Do you ever feel Rockstar is telling you to get a move on? 😊
🤣🤣Lol he's never in a rush...he's so chilled out with the Drone he just sleeps through it....thanks for watching buddy
