Day 10 Upper Teesdale and High Cup

20 Miles Middleton-in-Teesdale to Dufton

I was dreading the distance today but expecting some spectacular scenery along the Tees valley.  I wasn't wrong and ended the day awe inspired and aching.

The Tees runs fast and there are huge waterfalls along the route.

Low Force

High Force - the biggest waterfall in Britain 

Aptly named - Cauldron Snout.

Doesn't look much - The approach to High Cup.

High Cup - The photo really doesn't do this justice. 

How do you get down from here?

The further you go on the Pennine Way the more wild it gets, and the fewer people you see. I ate lunch at the side of Cauldron Snout and didn't see a soul. Had I fallen off High Cup, no one would have heard me scream.  Something about the walk today made me yearn for the Grouse Inn and Froggatt Edge.
