I recognised those steps immediately. There are some places where paths like that zig-zag across the slope, those just go straight up.

cackleberry - there's only really the 'new' straight up option. The old path has been fenced off as it's slowly collapsing into the sea.
There seems different styles or schools of thought on SWCP path maintenance now - some areas go for the straight up with steps approach, others enforcing the zig zag. Not sure if it's geologically or ground based, or just local maintenance teams have a preference?

Fitness levels are normally key to these. I usually first 1 to 3 are normally fine, by the 5th or 6th they can get a bit wearing. But far better than the steep stony/slippery downhills.
This was the elevation for the day

I did a section a bit further north, from Woolacombe, and it felt just like that elevation profile.

That's a great photo, DoricQuine - I did a double take when I saw it, as I took an almost identical photo when we were there last summer :)
