I'd actually say Wasdale is one of the more touristy these days, especially Fri-Mon, with loads of dickheads in the flip-flops and high-heels wanting to get to the top of the Pike in the most direct route. You only have to look at some of the driving and parking on the road to Wasdale Head and the amount of litter and other waste around the man paths.
