Just back from a very refreshing 5 day break in Somerset & Devon.

Highlight for me was the Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Built in 1888,
its a simply incredible piece of engineering - using no power at all!

If you haven't been there, it works like this;

Only drawback was negotiating Porlock Hill in SWMBO's Corsa - 998cc, 3
cylinder - 65 bhp! 1st gear at one stage!

BTW - Cream Teas - its jam first & then cream - no question.
