I just needed an easy day so I headed down to Lynmouth and the Valley of the rocks for a gentle stroll. To be honest it was just an excuse to use my new toy a lovely 1962 Olympus Pen half frame camera .I cant wait to get the prints back from the lab. Oh these pics were taken on a digital btw .Comments ?

Lovely. One of my favourite spots in this country (and indeed, the world…).

(sigh) memories of childhood, regular trips over Exmoor with Mum and Dad visiting Aunt Edie who owned a guest house in Lynton. Twas a trek from Uffculme then! Had our honeymoon there too.
thanks for the nostalgia trip!
cheers

Gorgeous place and a superb little river for kayaking. I remember paddling that final stretch into the breaking surf, still buzzing with adrenaline after running the gorge above it. (Probably 14-15yrs ago!)

Its a lovely area and a very scenic route from my house , past the Qs and up over Porlock . Great seascapes on one side and the open moors on the other. Chips on the seafront were good too.

Minehead descent into Porlock – 😀

I remember overtaking cars on the road descent into Lynton (Countisbury Hill) when I was a teenager (first holiday without parents). We got to the bottom and then pulled up in front of an OAP bus trip and proceeded to pour water over my stinking and newly blued rotors…yes its childish and not to be recommended but the clouds of steam were impressive 🙂

We later realised that we'd had the wind behind us all the way from Porlock, and had a real battle getting home, we went back through Brendon and Malmsmead before belting down Porlock Hill 🙂
