June 9th Lynton

Once out of Withypool it soon became moor, then fields to Simonsbath.
After the mist burnt off it became very warm.
It was mostly moor to Exehead, the source of the river Exe. Then a lovely steep valley descent off the high moor. On the way down I saw 2 Red Deer.
At Cheriton another descent to Combe Park, national trust land all the way to Lynton and Lynmouth.
I found a campsite for the night, and after a long welcome shower, spent a relaxing evening in Lynton and Lynmouth.
Overall the 2 Moors Way is a good walk. The hot days over the exposed moors were hard though, but I had great views all the way.
With the weather forcasting rain, I decided to end the walk without any of the possible extensions from Lynmouth.
(It was a wet bus ride to Exeter on the journey to Dorset)
