High Cup Nick
Reminiscences from the classic North Pennines walk at High Cup Nick, area of the Pennine Way.This is among the Northern Pennines classic walks using the goal being High Cup Nick, among Northern England's geological miracles. High Cup Nick is really a classic U-formed glaciated valley high in western flanks from the North Pennines. An in-depth chasm around the Pennine Fellside resembling a scar that might have been triggered with a meteorite this famous place is really a dramatic geological formation and area of the well-known Whin Sill. Created through the durability of gray-blue dolerite the crags are spectacular. High Cup Nick is around the Pennine Way and may be arrived at from Cow Eco-friendly around the border of Cumbria and County Durham, or from Dufton within the Eden Valley.I drove to Dufton from he North East through the A1 and A66 so that as I understood it had been a difficult begin to the walk I driven track of a "Full British" in Appleby and that i can honestly state that with your nourishment consumed I had been ready for anything
I arrived at my beginning point? in Dufton village and rapidly transformed into my walking gear in vehicle car park just to the Town Mind Bridleway . It had been the perfect place right at the beginning of the walk and that i was overjoyed in the weather which glorious unbroken Fall sunshine beaming lower from the lovely cloudless sky. Setting? off eastward I adopted the bridleway past Bow Hall towards Peeping Hill. It had been cold but dry and vibrant and a lot better than a wet drizzly day that we appeared to possess attracted on recent walks.
To have an hour it? was tough going when i straighten out the greater ground. It absolutely was uphill completely for that first couple of miles with more than 1150 ft? of climbing done prior to the ground? levelled off in excess of 1600 ft soon after Peeping Hill From the cairn on the way High Cup Nick arrived to view. The stiff ascend to greater ground had provided great? sights to hillsides for example Dufton Pike and Murton Pike because they was proud within the Fall sunlight.
The floor was quite level now? and also the walk across the northern fringe of High Cup Nick was undulating, little increases and little descents without any significant effort needed.? The only real company I'd were several wild searching lengthy haired ponies which grazed gladly oblivious of human distractions? Reaching High Cupgill Mind I commenced the rocky decent to the foot of High Cup Gill.High Cupgill Mind is definitely an legendary place, the real cause from the deep fissure that's High Cup Gill and that i could only imagine what it really should have been as with more spectacular geological occasions. Big chunks of rock were thrown all from High Cupgill Mind into High Cup Gill and that i needed to gingerly negotiate all things in the thrown boulder area to the foot of the chasm.Following the strenuous effort of descent I required a relaxation and loved more nutrition , walking accumulates an appetite particularly when it's strenuous The decent have been tough , the toughest challenge around the walk, and also at this time around I had been glad it had been over
After eats I trigger once experiencing another shorter and flatter boulder area before I acquired towards the opening from High Cup Gill and also the origins of High Cup Gill Beck.
Following? High Cup Gill Beck downstream completely from High Cup to Harbour Flatt, not entirely by its side though when i monitored close up to Middle Tongue I'd? great sights of nearby Murton Pike. The walk from the glaciated valley have been a unique experience and that i would be a little saddened when i left it behind.
Reaching Harbour Flatt I completed the walk navigation the ultimate mile and a little across the very quiet road between Murton and Dufton and also the vehicle.
Just over 8 miles long with a few 1700 ft of climbing this North Pennines walk (see North Pennines OS Maps) will require approximately 4 hrs to accomplish. The clarify required two hrs and that i showed up tired but contented - it absolutely was a great day
