Can someone suggest a really bloody good ride on exmoor for tomorrow please? 30-35 miles, pref as close to Bristol as possible.
Singletrack, woods, rivers, views etc... Map or GPS navigation possible, so gpx file. Would be cool.

Ta!

There is an Exmoor/Porlock loop in the recent Summer 2013 addition of *cough/spit* MBR *cough/spit* that might be what you're looking for.

I'm interested in 'moderate' and 'easy' rides in the North West of Exmoor. We are on holiday in Trentishoe in a couple of weeks (so not far from Ilfracombe) and as I'll have my 11 year old riding with me we had better avoid anything too hard.

Start in Minehead ride out to Dunster . Climb up onto Wooton Common via Grabbist Hill . Stay riding along ridge then fun descent to Wooton Courtney . Head for Brockwell then up onto Dunkery Beacon for the views on the highest point on Exmoor . Then another fun descent to Webbers Post make your way to Stoke Pero for a hoot of a descent to Horner Water follow stream to village . Carry on to Allerford head to Selworthy avoiding A39 ! Tough old climb to Selworthy Beacon then the funnest descent down North Hill into Minehead. About 20 odd miles but it will feel like a proper day out !
