Set off up Greendale and took in Middle Fell before slogging up the east flank of Seatallan. Sat in the stone shelter on the summit and took in the skyline above the grassy plateau - the attractive stone built pillar, and the tops of Great Gable, Scafell Pike and Scafell. Not a bad collection. Returned via Buckbarrow to make a nice circuit.

Had to work for this one! Long ramble from Nether Wasdale, ascended via Greendale Gill and Tongues Gills, rather boggy on the South side. Tough climb but worth it. Blustery but lovely day. Pillar a nice one out of local stone, original cap in good nick.

Parked up at Greendale to do a short circuit of three Wainwrights. Up by Greendale Beck before branching off to the summit of Middle Fell. Followed the subsequent Wainwright ridge route to Seatallan but discovered that it is the oath seldom trod nowadays and had to clamber up the grassy shoulder of Seatallan. Wonderful views all around. From the pillar we headed down to Buckbarrow, then back to car and onto The Strands Inn for a pint.

Parked at Greendale ny144056 and headed north on the footpath east side of Greendale Beck. Crossed over at confluence ny143064 and continued north over Buckbarrow Moss. Fantastic panoramic views. Stone built pillar, spider top intact and flush bracket facing south. Amazing pillar for such a relatively short walk Lakes style.

Pillar at Seatallon Looking south. Rucksack shows the path I will descend.

The very "mighty" Seatallan known to almost reduce grown men to tears on the JNR and the penultimate top on the round. A spanner thrown in the works, so to speak. One of 4 Birketts visited today from Greendale Bridge and so very pleased to see this old friend. The quest for the finest pie in the kingdom is over - Gosforth Bakers you are gifted today's pillar. Superb.

Had planned to climb Scafell, but low cloud and drizzle meant we did the Buckbarrow-Seatallan-Middle Fell horseshoe instead. The weather gradually clearing as we went. Wasdale surprisingly quiet for a covid summer with foreign travel near to impossible.

Started from Greendale and walked up the gill towards the tarn. the weather has picked up again, nice and clear , sunny intervals. We crossed to the west of the tarn and headed up to the coll, then up the very steep side of Seatallan to the trig point. Stunning view from the top of all the major peaks in this area. We returned via Cat Bields, Glade How, Buckbarrow then down to the road with about a mile walk back to the Greendale.

Final summit of the day. Approached from due north over a steep grassy slope after coming off Caw Fell and contouring round Brown Band over rock strewn slopes. Pillar is another of the Lake District's stone constructions. In good condition with original cap in place; 3 sight holes open. Cloud back down on the hill so no views.

Trig is close to an extensive cairn (now partly shaped into a shelter) and the extensive dome of rubble on which it sits is reputed to be an ancient tumulus. The highest point of Seatallan is some 75m NE although there is very little in it. Previous visit 05/06/2006

HISTORY: Pillar completed October 1949 costing £31.10s.0d. Computed as secondary triangulation station NY11/25 within the Workington block during 1952. Levelled for height also in 1952. Last maintained by the OS in May 1977. SITE VISIT: Paradise! A Lake District top with no other people. Stone built pillar in good condition. Spider retains OS centre cap with deep indented letters. Flush bracket faces 159° (SSE). Three sight holes open, SW still plugged, innards filled with debris. As expected, this location enjoys a 360° panoramic view which includes Scafell Pike and Sca Fell.
