Porlock to Lynton, May 10

Once again the weather was beautiful but with a strong haze if you had a view into the distance. The walk was uneventful except for an English fact that defies the laws of physics. According to Newton what goes up must come down. So how is it possible on the SW Coast Path that you can start at sea level and end at sea level but have walked up hill all day? Probably because you walk up along a quite steep path for hours to then descend precipitously for just a few minutes only to start the long steep climb all over again. And at this point I was carrying a pack which weighed somewhere around forty pounds. Apart from the physical effort needed to complete this segment there wasn't anything much of significance except visiting the smallest church in England. I sat in the churchyard to eat my lunch and I took the pictures below.
