Glad you found those little gems, did you look around the Roman lead mines at Blackmoor,(Velvet Bottom)? there's not much to see but there but you can walk right through the old once smelting dams and slag heaps to Cheddar. You probably noticed the great view from Dear Leap across to the Polden Hills, Glasto Tor, the Channel and Wales of coarse.
Finished a week-long journey that's taken me all over the place. Some beautiful parts to these countries, which you'd never know about if you didn't hit the roads less travelled...
Some pictures from the ride below - including the moment I rolled over 6k miles, and some of the beautiful sights and views.
Apart from the bike being knocked over in a car park, no issues at all. Though, she doesn't seem to like being started on a very cold morning. Almost seems to lose battery voltage on cold nights... Thankfully, I carry one of those lithium jump-starter packs in my panniers, just in case.
Symmo - thanks for the Mendips recommendation. I had a lovely spin around there today. The little back-route by the Blackmoor Reserve was just the right amount of challenge... And was super impressed with how the bike dealt with it all. Looking forward to exploring more of that area in the future.
