Day 3: Lynton - Combe Martin

Last night my legs were really sore. Surprisingly, we don't have any blisters yet.

Today is the hardest stage of the first week, with the highest point of the entire SWCP. Plus, rain is forecasted. All of this prompted me to plan a 'shortcut' from the beginning. In the middle of the tour, there is a hiking and hunting lodge with a hotel, restaurant, and pub called 'Hunter's Inn' in a gorge. The question was which part I should hike. ;-) After consulting with our host, I decided on the first section - good choice. ;-) We started along the Cliff Railway to the Valley of Rocks. Wow! The path was still relatively easy... ;-) Then we passed Lee Abbey. If a Rosamunde Pilcher movie hasn't been filmed there yet, I don't know... ;-)

After that, the path became hilly as usual... :-/

We also passed Martin's Hoe... ;-)

In Heddon's Valley, our paths diverged. I first went to Heddon's Mouth and finally to Hunter's Inn... Burger and beer, yammy. From there, a Dutch couple gave me a ride to Combe Martin.

Tina unfortunately had bad luck with the weather, 3 hours of rain, puuuh. :-)
