Blue skies, spring day. Two labradors one black, one cream sitting at the head of the U shaped High Cup Nick Valley having a rest and breather
As the weather forecast was to be good today, I decided to revisit High Cup Nick, see my last post with a Feb pic. Today was a shorts day and mid teen temperatures and the dogs had a fabulous time

Looking down the U shaped valley of High Cup Nick from the top of the valley. A winters cloudy day with the remnants of snow from a few days ago.

A classic U-shaped valley, or "nick," carved by glaciers around 20,000 years ago, featuring hard whin sill dolerite rock.

Last day in the #EdenValley so packed a fair bit in today. Hiked up to #HighCupNick in the morning and then walked around the Upper Eden in the afternoon. A sprinkling of snow and brilliant clear sunshine helped amplify the sublime views. #WildBoarFell and the #Blencathra range omnivisible.

Most of the images I have are of the view from High Cup Nick, rather than of High Cup Nick, so I thought I would change that. The Nick incidentally is just right of centre where a stream enters the valley. Cumbria, UK

The sun sets over a rugged glaciated valley which is illuminated by a warm light, which in turn highlights the green grass and moss in the valley bottom. A narrow stream meanders through the bottom of the valley while the steep sides are bordered with dark crags.
Back problems are keeping me out of the mountains at the moment, so here's a panorama shot from 2023 of High Cup Gill in Cumbria, UK. Needs a click #HighCup #HighCupNick #Cumbria #LandscapePhotography #Eden
One more from High Cup Nick last week, some of the many fascinating rock formations which populate this pennine landmark. #highcupnick #cumria #eden #dufton #pennineway #landscape

The view from High Cup Nick, on the Pennine Way
Is there a more perfect example of a U-shaped valley in Britain?
This is High Cup in the North Pennines β often called England's Grand Canyon β and this view is perhaps the most jaw dropping moment of the Pennine Way.
