SEAT SANDAL - is a simple straightforward fell, uninteresting except as a viewpoint
DOLLYWAGGON PIKE - The view is extensive in most directions but restricted in the north and south east by neighbouring fells of greater altitude. Westwards, the panorama is excellent
NETHERMOST PIKE - from the east it is magnificent
LOWER MAN - half a mile northwest of the principal top, it occupies a key position on the main ridge, which here changes its direction subtly and unobtrusively
HELVELLYN - There is some quality about Helvellyn which endears it in the memory of most people who have stood on its breezy top; although it can be a grim place indeed on a wild night, it is, as a rule a very friendly giant

| Seat Sandal summit. I met Anne Bowker MBE here today Her excellent site, which I learned so much from and used it to plan my routes is called Mad about Mountains but it doesn't appear to be updated any more (2017). A very nice lady who told me I was only the second person to recognise her on the fells |
