Maybe I'll go back during the colder months then, would definitely enjoy it more with less people everywhere. Expand It's bliss in out of season. Problem is you get used to it being great and then summer hits and your nose is put out of joint because it's covered in grockles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Most of them are listed £300 more than I paid. But they don't have the same cache, you know the gravel trap patina should add a few bucks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yep, winter months are ace as long as your not afraid of possible ice (they rarely grit it), although it has been tamed somewhat by the 30mph limit.

Sir Fallsalot Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I tend to ride the Combe when i'm down that way, a bit north of Cheddar and its a cracking road, it's always been quiet when I've been there and there's some nice walks from the pull ins off it. You can also have a mooch in some caves there for free obviously not as impressive as Cheddar but you still get to see the goats defying gravity on the rock face https://www.google.com/maps/@51.3242283,-2.7529524,3a,75y,139.23h,107.58t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sJw2tmPJmxkDCZquXGftqYw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
