I think we are extemely fortunate to live in South Somerset. 20 miles to the South coast 30 miles to the north coast .
Somerset levels flat as a pancake for miles with fantastic scenery .
All around some of the best hills to be found Exmoor , Dartmoor, Up the top Lynmouth with Porlock hill.down south Lyme Regis, Beer,

Thousands of beautiful postcard villages miles of quiet country lanes . Rivers, canals,

Why am i not out there cycling every single minute ?

Yeah roll up folks, go to Somerset to do your cycling, and don't bother with nasty, rainy Yorkshire.

Cough, ahem.

I know.I am a lucky beggar , I wanted to share it and encourage other CCers to come and enjoy it also.

To be honest, even though I love the hills of Yorkshire, Lancashire and Derbyshire, I do sometimes miss having some decent flat rides round here! I'd have to head for York or Cheshire - not so bad if I wanted to make a day of it, but neither is convenient for a quick ride.

Somerset is somewhere I'd considered moving to if I ever leave here, for exactly the reasons you like it.

you'd be very welcome Colin , just don't say anything about the cheese..ok

What time do you serve breakfast?

 

[Speicher]

Can you make proper coffee, and where is your nearest railway station?

 

[peanut]

I can do railway coffee . Breakfast in bed sure ...you take a muslie bar up the previous night

 

[ufkacbln]

Well at least we have established the bed is available!

Next step is do you have a bar, and secure cyce storage for all our bikes?

20 miles to the South coast 30 miles to the north coast .

There is actually human life 20 miles from the sea? Incredible.

Can I just say that in the past I have spent a memorable holiday based in Porlock and the countryside and people were fantastic - I was just joshing about the cheese Peanut::

Mind you a bit of mature coloured Cheshire - now we are really talking cheese!::
