This was a bit of an off the cuff bike ride starting from Castle Neroche woods in the Blackdown Hills. We just rocked up, looked at the route which was a fairly long walking route and decided to cycle it. It was a lovely route. Passing through a few woods and over Staple Hill, the highest point in the Blackdown Hills. It was all good until we were on the way back to the beginning and we made a observation that 1, we had come down hill for quite a long way and that 2, castles are normally built on hills aren’t they?
Off through the woods
A well earned cake stop.
The return was a long ascent which included getting the bikes up the steps at the end.
It was hard at the end but we had a right good day!
