~Seat Sandal~
A featured fell is my way of studying each fell in turn and recording thoughts and observations.
"Seat Sandal is as simple straightforward fell, uninteresting except as a viewpoint, with no dramatic effects, no hidden surprises." So said Mr.Wainwright. I tend to agree, but I climb mountains as much for the views as anything esle, so Seat Sandal did not disappoint.

On fine weekdays, fast jets zoom along this high level pass. Keep the camera handy.

It may appear that I don't have too much to say about SS, this stems from the lack of interesting features. But, like the photos above, come up here on a fine day and the rewards are generous.
