Holiday Photos
		We start our walk near Lee Abbey, which we reached walking from Lynton on Friday .
		And head through the hamlet .
		And on to the coast path westwards high above the Bristol Channel .
		Near Woody Bay .
		We have our elevenses stop .
		Looking back from whence we came .
		And downwards onto the rocky shore far below .
		Brian thinks it worth a photo - like the colour! .
		Ross surveys the distant coastline .
		We are off again .
		Warm work as we reach the place where we turn inland .
		High above Heddon's Mouth .
		Down we go .
		And back along the valley floor .
		To the stoney beach .
		Many stay and admire the sea from afar .
		Whilst a couple of us get up close and personal .
		You can't beat it .
		Everyone waits for our return .
		That's where they want to be! .
		After lunch, some need extra sustenance, although Denys wonders if it is wise .
		Some need a lick whatever he says! .
		We head up the valley .
		Not too fast after lunch .
		The locals look on .
		The Heddon trickles seawards .
		It's time to do some serious climbing .
		After crossing the river .
		Up we go .
		Steeply up .
		Is it raining? Certainly a bit misty. Over 900 feet above sea level .
		Later we gradually descend. .
An odd diversion around a farmyard .
And back through the woods to Lee Bay
