My tour brought me from Minehead to Porlock and from there to the twintowns Lynmouth and Lynton.
After a really adventurously tour down on a footpath, I was happy to reach the small church of Selworthy and the village Bossington where I ate a late lunch.
The next day was rainy again, and I knew that steep hills were waiting for me, so I took me a lot of time for Porlock Weir.
You can watch that sweet little harbour at this webcam.
And then I decided to go. I pushed for two hours and made 2 miles, and it rained. The last 7 miles to Lynmouth on the mainroad were as if I were flying :)
The town of Lynmouth was destroyed by flooding in 1952, so it was rebuilt, not really nice to watch.
The camp site was in Lynton, some hundreds meters above, so I was happy to find the Cliff Railway which took me up again to Lynton :)
I was exhausted from the day and decided to stay. So the next day I took the railway back down to Lynmouth. On my way I walked a path which could have been somewhere in a rainforest :)
And, I know, there are a lot of boats on this site ;)
In the evening I asked my neighbours if I could charge my mobile. I could, and I was invited by Sue, Andy, Valerie and Dave from Chester to a beer and barbecue. Thanks for that, it was a nice evening! Some greetings also goes to Hanna and Radek from Praha! Hope your knees will be well soon, Hanna!
