July 5. Wells.
  Cloudy with a light drizzling
rain all day. Spent most
of the time writing my journal
and letters. Went to the
afternoon service at the
Cathedral with C. & E. R. S.
July 6. Wells to Lynton
  Most of the day cloudless with
clear, bracing air & strong W. wind.
Left Wells at 9.45 A.M. and went
by rail to Minehead changing 
cars three times and reaching our
destination at 3.10. Thence by
coach to Lynton 20 miles, 4
hours. Hilly country, hard roads
for first 10 miles, then over the
top of a mountain by grades, steeper
than I supposed could be achieved
by such a conveyance. We had 4 horses
and a fifth to help up the stiffest
hills, 7 passengers, all on top. We
had seats just behind driver.
  Scenery superb [?] rolling moors
cleft by deep ravines & every now
and then a wonderful sea view. Moors
covered with gorse & heather. Larch
& spruce forests in the ravines.
  Red Deer & Black G[?] are said
to abound. There are no Grouse.
I saw Stone chats, a Green Woodpecker
