Helvellyn / Seat Sandal
Thursday 17/11/05
Bagged another Marilyn today when I added Seat Sandal (736mtrs) to the end of the Helvellyn ridge.
Started from the car park at Swirls and took the tourist route up Helvellyn and along the Ridge to Dollywagon.
Dropped straight down there to the west end of Grisedale tarn and had plenty of time and sunshine to go up Seat Sandal.
Went down Raise Beck, passing three of the Blands with their sheepdogs on the way up (nearly fell on my arse on ice as I passed Gavin!).
Weather was absolutely unbelievable, which made up for wasting a similar day yesterday on the motorway to Wilmslow.
Had to hold myself back from adding in Fairfield and St Sunday too, saving myself for the rigours of Pendle Hill's Big End.
