I learnt a few things today…
I realised too late that I have no idea where things go on the phone when you download them, after half an hour of searching while on the hill I found the PDFs that Esme so kindly sent me, only to then learn that I don’t appear to have any way of viewing PDFs.
This left me on the hills blind but for a faint notion of my start direction.
I then learnt that the term ‘a faint trail’ means different things to different people… two jaunts off down what turned out to be no more than sheep tracks later and I got into the ride proper, all be it a fair bit of skin and blood down from hiking through the gorse with my bike on my back!
Did Smith Combe, Weacombe, Frog Combe into Holford Combe, Stert Combe into Somerton into Short Combe into Hodders Combe.
I had expected to climb back up and look for a drop back to the van….. I was completely stunned to roll out of the end of Hodders and see it sitting there, so that was me done… at no point did I really know where I was which at first felt a little off putting but in the end I enjoyed the sense of finding my way.
Thanks all for your help…. cracking area.
