High Cup Nick

DATE : 5th April 2006









The Lakeland Fells from the Pennine Way leading to High Cup Nick


South western view to the Howgills


Middle Tongue with Murton Pike behind


High Cup Nick comes into view


View from the ridge path


Close up of the dramatic Whin Sill


View back


Down below is High Cup Gill


The northern side of the valley from High Cup Nick


And the southern side


View along the valley


High Cup Gill is about to take a sudden drop


Sun comes out on the northern side


It's a fair drop from the ridge to the valley floor


View along the southern ridge


Looking back to High Cup Nick


Heading down to the valley floor


The terrain is rather steep


At High Cup Gill


Making way along the Gill to High Cup Nick up in the distance


Conditions are really brightening up down in the valley


Here comes the steep bit


Looking back along the valley during a rest stop


View along the northern edge of Whin Sill


Looking up to High Cup Nick


Up on the top of Whin Sill now


High Cup Nick again further along the ridge


And the view west along the valley from the same place


Nichol's Chair


Guess who's car this lot are heading for
