I fancy a crack at the Quantocks probably tomorrow, can anyone point me in the direction of some routes that I can look at online please?
Recommendations very welcome. Thanks in advance.

go to bikehike.co.uk and search quantocks and there is a reasonable route right there.

I did [url= http://www.chocolatefoot.co.uk/journal/wa/archives/2004/01/000181-quantock_jaunt.html ]this route[/url] last week. Beware - I found the navigation a bit tricky at times due to many many unmapped tracks.

Actually, it's a bit wet and cold here. Still, better than living in That London.

I don't care if it rains or not. It's still better than being anywhere else.

Dibbs is quite useful, but we need a Quantocks weathercam.
