Somerset and Devon :: Day 1 :: Bristol to the Quantocks :: Bikepacking & Wildcamping

Life seems to have dispersed my friends group across a wide area and so I try as hard as I can to visit them in all their far flung locations whenever possible.
In my current state of leisurely unemployment I often try to turn these visits into bikepacking trips and this time I was able to get a good chunk of days in the saddle around two socials.

This one started with a train to Bristol...
