Way out West day 3, Oct 6, Lynmouth

Headed for the north coast via exmoor and spent a few hours in Lynmouth.

Had ride on the cliff railway - damn clever the Victorians, it works by draining a water tank slung under the cars when they are at the bottom, and gravity does the rest as the top car drops down the slope pulling the bottom car up via a cable and pulley.

Bumped into the Predator in Lynmouth high street - times must be hard as it seems the only job he can get is as doorman outside this gift shop

Then it was off to the pub for a pint - Rising Sun - and very nice it was too. Lunch was a pasty from the local bakers.

Headed over to Porlock, down the infamous 1 in 4 hill on the A39, but came back via Worthy Combe toll road from Porlock Weir, which certainly doesn't seem to get the toll money spent on it!! Pot holed, cracked and a right mess from all the recent rain washing mud, stones, twigs etc onto it. Charming little gated entrance and you put the toll in an honesty box through a slot in a nearby door! Sign on the door said only knock if you want some change!!
