As above really, would like to pay a visit but will it be bog.?

All year riding proof. Went last weekend and whilst soaking wet it’s mostly all rideable. The great wood part is muddy and a few bits on the top on the ridge but all the classic parts – smiths coombe etc – are wet but fine.

Living only 10mins away I am just going to invest in mudguards as it basically rains every other day!

Exmoor is pretty rideable too again if you stick to the main bridleways

Good to read. Never been but joining a ride from Holford maybe including Triscombe.

Pretty ridable everywhere for the most part if you stick to the central ridge line and the surrounding combes because its sandstone based with a thin peaty layer. Can be very wet with water running down the combe trails. Great wood will be a bit muddier but it’s downhill so you’ve got gravity’s help and fireroads to go back up. Further south than lydeard hill, and over the south east side the bridleways will be impassable – some were unridable last October! Horses churn it up really bad.
