Other walks in the area
Scafell Pike down by Sprinkling Tarn

Dog-friendly circular walk to Scafell Pike and going down by Sprinkling Tarn. Scafell Pike is the highest summit in England. View from the top is incredible.
Netherbeck Horseshoe including Middle Fell, Steeple and Red Pike
This Lake District walk is strenuous including seven summits in what can be a tiring day. Good navigational skills are essential when visibility is poor. The rewards for the hard work are numerous and you will enjoy many wonderful lakeland panaoramas completing the walk.
Buckbarrow, Seatallan and Middle Fell
Dog-friendly circular walk passing by the three Wainwrights summits of Buckbarrow, Seatallan and Middle Fell.
YHA Hopping in the Lake District - YHA Wasdale Hall to Dungeon Ghyll
The YHA is a great institution and I guess most fell walkers have stayed at a hostel at some time in their lives. 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 5 Wainwrights, 4 tarns and 1 pub.
