Watchet
09:30 – 15:30
A ride from Taunton to Watchet Harbour and back.  The stop will be at Doniford Farm Park with an opportunity for snaps in Watchet.   The New Inn at Halse is an option for a second stop for anyone  requiring additional sustenance (or just a break). A fair amount of the "bimble" will benefit from tree cover, but given the distance, please ensure you have adequate water. I did the ride on 16th August and it was fab.     Members should ensure they sign up for a ride that is suitable for them New members are advised to contact the ride leader if in any doubt   Starting at French Weir Park Cafe Start time 09:30 Ride Leader Brian Martin Contact number  07531659337 Places up to 12 6             Distance* Long Miles 42.0 Terrain** Hilly in parts Height Gain ft 2459 Pace*** Intermediate Average mph 9-11         Route Out Nailsbourne, Yarford, West Bagbrough, Crowcombe Heathfield, Sampford Brett, Williton, Doniford Stopping At Doniford Farm Park Route Back Watchet, Woodford, Elworthy, Fitzhead, Halse, Norton Fitzwarren Map/gps https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47751994     Take with you: Spare inner tube, Pump, Lights, Water and Snack   *Short up to 20miles, Medium 20 -30miles, Long 30-40miles Extended 40 miles+ **Easy mostly level ground, Moderate occasional gentle hills, Hard longer and/or steep hills,     Tough unrelentingly hilly or has a particularly long, steep climb ***Slow up to 9mph, Intermediate 9-11mph, Brisk 11-13mph, Fast 13mph+
