YHA hopping in The Lake District - Staveley Station to YHA Patterdale

Departure from Nether Staveley (Westmorland and Furness)

The YHA is a great institution and I guess most fell walkers have stayed at a hostel at some time in their lives. Funny how they were created "to help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside, particularly by providing hostels or other simple accommodation for them on their travels". Here's a collection of routes starting or finishing at a YHA in The Lakes. Along the way are 8 Wainwrights, 4 tarns and 1 pub.
