Seat Sandal and St Sunday Crag, an Excellent Mix Walking

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!
