An excellent walk taking in an unusual combination of hills, and full of interest all the way.
Wainwright states that the popular fell of St Sunday Crag is only a matter of three miles from the road at Dunmail. This is a very interesting walk, showing in detail many excellent views of the fells in the area. St Sunday Crag is a very lovely fell with good views. Well recomended!
