I'm down at the sister in law's next weekend but have permission to nip over for a ride in the quantocks. I've never been that successful in making good routes there previously, a bit hit and miss.

So does anyone have a route (or gpx) of around 30km that takes in the good bits?

Shame it wasn't another weekend or I'd have shown you around the best bits but we are in Twickenham for the rugby Saturday to Monday.

Maybe extend it with a drop down through Smiths combe/Willoughbys cleave/Holford & back up to the ridge.

Cheers snaps, would have been good to catch up, although I'm hopelessly unfit at the moment so would have been blowing out of my arse.

I enjoyed this route a lot, got 4 descents in, including Smiths and Weacombe. Started from Nether Stowey. Could consider Somerton / Stert Combe instead of Slaughterhouse, but both are great.
