What are they like when wet? Going to exmoor in a couple of weeks,thought we would stop off on the way.

Riding the streams is better when you are already soaked. I suspect some of the cheeky stuff won't be great but the main trails has been OK for me in the rain. I've not been for a while, though.

Its all pretty good on the well used stuff as nickjb said. Seems to be more streams to ride in this summer tho!

usual sandy drivetrain grinding stuff.............

Most of the Quantocks is pretty weatherproof, some of the streams get a bit deeper when it's raining and a few new streams appear for a short while, but it all drains really quickly.

Any quick pointers on where to park and good routes?

Park in Holford if you want to finish at a pub. Dead womans ditch is good central place to park, too

Was up there today for the first time in ages with my other half.
Wish I'd given Knottie a shout, I've forgotten where some of the trails start! The ones we did weren't the ones we were supposed to be on 😯
