Hi,
Had great time thanks.
I have been going down to Somerset for years now an love it every time i go there.
I camp in Minehead which is a good base to get to other places, i just got a OS map and marked a few routes. But every time i go down there i find something new, I haven't got to the Quantocks yet i keep saying next time i'm down there but never do lol..
I have got the south west mtb book by Nick Cotton which looks very interesting now i just need to back down there to explore.
If your not keen on exploring by your self i'd post up a few weeks before your due to go to Somerset an see if any of the locals could show you around.

No worries Stumpy. Gimme a shout whenever, but i'm gonna be away with the kids at some point in August, so a little notice would be great.
Oh...and if you fancy it we've got a few places left on our Alps trip in June. So far got Me, three guys and a girly, but the Chalet will sleep 10+.........(plenty of photo opportunities out there)

Wrong county. You need Devon for a proper cream tea.

Can anyone recommend a good campsite for the quantocks? I have a list of Somerset campsites (http://www.campsite-review.co.uk/England/Somerset/), but not sure how close to the Quantocks and what they are like. I am just interested in basic tent camping.

thanks.

I always camp in Minehead but there is meant to be a good campsite in Holford .
