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.
