RIVER IN FLOOD
Images Of Lynmouth. North Devon.
Lynmouth is a village in Devon, England, on the northern edge of Exmoor.
The village straddles the confluence of the West Lyn and East Lyn rivers, in a gorge 700 feet (210 m) below Lynton, to which it is connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway.
The two villages are a civil parish governed by Lynton and Lynmouth Town Council. The parish boundaries extend southwards from the coast and includes hamlets such as Barbrook and small moorland settlements such as East Ilkerton, West Ilkerton and Shallowford.
Lynmouth was described by Thomas Gainsborough, who honeymooned there with his bride Margaret Burr, as the most delightful place for a landscape painter this country can boast.
WET AIR #7 (St.KILDA) - Lynmouth, Glen Lyn Gorge, North Devon - Jen synth. Samsung alert
Lynmouth is nowhere near St.Kilda! Music is 1 of 8 pieces I wrote around samples of loops I created with a Fender Strat & a Boss delay effect, after loading them into a Roland W30 Workstation. I was reminded of this one due to a Samsung phone using the little 'boo - boo - boop' 3 notes that I came up with in 1997. I won't sue, as nobody except me has ever heard this until now.
It also features synth noises that I sampled from my old Jen mono synth before selling it.

Unexpectedly Ending the South West Coast Path 4/4
In part 4/4, Justin goes from Lynmouth Harbour, sleeps wet in Combe Martin and heads towards Braunton where the journey is suddenly cut short.
Justin set out to walk 100 miles of the South West Coast Path from Minehead to Clovelly through Somerset and Devon in July 2017.
This is part of the official South West Coast Path trail from Minehead to Poole which is 630 miles in total.

On 15 and 16 August 1952, a storm of tropical intensity broke over south-west England, depositing 229 millimetres (9.0 in) of rain within 24 hours on the already saturated soil of Exmoor, Devon. It is thought that a cold front scooped up a thunderstorm, and the orographic effect worsened the storm. Debris-laden floodwaters cascaded down the northern escarpment of the moor, converging upon the village of Lynmouth; in particular, in the upper West Lyn valley, a dam was formed by fallen trees etc., which in due course gave way, sending a huge wave of water and debris down the river. A guest at the Lyndale Hotel described the night to the Sunday Express:
From seven o'clock last night the waters rose rapidly and at nine o'clock it was just like an avalanche coming through our hotel, bringing down boulders from the hills and breaking down walls, doors and windows. Within half an hour the guests had evacuated the ground floor. In another ten minutes the second floor was covered, and then we made for the top floor where we spent the night.
The River Lyn through the town had been culverted to gain land for business premises; this culvert soon choked with flood debris, and the river flowed through the town. Much of the debris was boulders and trees.
Overnight, more than 100 buildings were destroyed or seriously damaged along with 28 of the 31 bridges, and 38 cars were washed out to sea. In total, 34 people died, with a further 420 made homeless. The seawall and lighthouse survived the main flood, but were seriously undermined. The lighthouse collapsed into the river the next day.
At the same time, the River Bray at Filleigh also flooded, costing the lives of three Scouts from Manchester who had been camping alongside the river.
The root cause of the flood was heavy rainfall associated with a low-pressure area that had formed over the Atlantic Ocean some days earlier. As the low passed the British Isles, it manifested as a weather front which caused exceptionally heavy rainfall, the effect of which was intensified because the rain fell on already waterlogged land; the effect was further exacerbated over Exmoor by an orographic effect. The lack of satellite data in 1952 meant the weather could not be forecast as reliably as it can be today.
Similar floods had been recorded at Lynmouth in 1607 and 1796. After the 1952 disaster, Lynmouth village was rebuilt, including diverting the river around the village. The small group of houses on the bank of the East Lyn river called Middleham between Lynmouth and Watersmeet was destroyed and never rebuilt. Today, there stands a memorial garden.
On 16 August 2004, a similar event happened in Cornwall, when flash floods caused extensive damage to Boscastle, but without loss of life. The hydrological setting of these two villages is very similar.
A conspiracy theory has circulated that the flood was caused by secret cloud seeding experiments carried out by the Royal Air Force (RAF).
The theory was fuelled by a 2001 BBC Radio 4 documentary, suggesting that the events of 1952 were connected to Project Cumulus. The programme alleged that the infamous Lynmouth flood disaster came only days after RAF rain-making experiments over southern England, and that secret experiments were causing heavy rainfall. According to the programme, classified documents on the trials that Project Cumulus contributed to the conditions that caused this flood have gone missing. A few days before the disaster a seeding experiment was carried out over southern England. Alan Yates, an aeronautical engineer and glider pilot who was working with the operation, sprayed salt in the air and was elated to learn of a heavy rainfall in Staines shortly after.
