Exmoor weekend 6-8 June Fast group
Posted: Sun May 11, 2025 10:15 pm
As I’ve run Exmoor trips for Dorset Rough Riders the last 2 years, I’ve got 3 routes ready to go tried and tested and happy to lead these.
Day 1 - start time tbc, can everyone get there for about 11.30..? Meet at Horner Tea Gardens TA24 8HY near Porlock/Dunkery Beacon. Parking is National trust, there is a coin only meter but if you’re NT member it’s free I think. Fun “only” 13 mile route, tons of climbs, great views, fab single track all rideable. cafe at the end is very nice.
Day 2 - ride from the youth hostel. Challenging XC route via Dunkery Beacon.
Day 3 - Ride starts at Dulverton, which is 30 minutes drive from Minehead heading in the direction of home. Street parking is possible, eg, Amory Road, or it’s £2.40 for 4hrs in village centre car parks, there’s a few to choose from. We’ll meet by the CO-OP in the centre. Lovely challenging XC moorland route via Tarr Steps, nice riverside pub at the end.
Looking forward to it
