Another one to check out this weekend – cheers Jambo. Quantocks are the hills that just keep on giving!

Do you mean where great bear crosses the five lords road?

I’m guessing the concrete block marks the start of a descent – is it really obvious once you spot it?

I found a bag of magic mushrooms combined with a trip to the Van Gogh museum was a great way to “experience” the culture on offer in the ‘dam – 2 birds, 1 stone and all that.

train runs direct from airport to town centre much cheaper than taxi. From memory it’s a double decker train which I found a bit of an extra novelty!

Jambo – where is this mythical “concrete block” – I’ve been exploring using an OS map for the last few weekends and it’s clearly not officially called concrete block combe!!!

Too many to choose – they all have their own charms – there’s another post on here that goes into a lot more detail on various combes.

holds up fairly well, there will be some big puddles on the top of the ridge but most are avoidable. The trails I did last weekend were in great condition (Smiths, Weacombe, Frogs, Holford, Hodders, Stert etc) The final bit of the trail in/out of holford car park is a bit muddy, but nothing major. Quantocks always put a massive smile on my face, go and enjoy!
