| hearsay |
Alfred Wainwright died 1991, age 84, by his wish his ashes
were scattered by the side of this tarn:-
A quiet place, a lonely place. I shall go to it, for the last time, and be carried: someone who knew me in life will take me and empty me out of a little box and leave me there alone. And if you, dear reader, should get a little bit of grit in your boots as you are crossing Haystacks in the years to come, please treat it with respect. It might be me. | |
| hearsay |
The tarn was originally Loaf Tarn because of the dough like
appearance of peats in the water. It was given its new name
by the Fell and Rock Climbing Club who thought it was
nameless.
