From Minehead we carried on down the coast past peaceful villages,
over Porlock hill and with this being the steepest hill in the UK it meant that going down the other side involved a fair amount of braking. We had new brake pads fitted before leaving home and by the time we reached Lynmouth the brakes were gently smoking !
Good excuse to explore and have a go on the cliff railway.
The top village of lynton has small shops along with a small museum where they have a fairly unique way of describing their items, I described the place as containing the contents of the villages' attics, a real mix of items.
Eventually the brakes cooled down, still smelt a bit warm but were safe to travel and we made our way to a campsite near Woolacombe in Devon for a couple of nights.

That must have been scary. We've had that happen to the brakes when up in the mountains. When I see those runaway truck bunkers it always gives me the creeps.
The Ryland skein is very pretty. It looks so nice and squishy,
