South West
Lucky enough to be able to flip between Dartmoor and The Quantocks for some riding....last time I was at the bottom of the Surrey Hills 7nyears ago - South West is a bit different. Levo has opened them up - last time, one mammouth climb and a long ride to the car was a killer!
Couple of video clips - don’t expect Red Bull Rampage stuff - was taking it easy as first run down some places, and it was a busy weekend up there...but gives you an idea about what it all looks like (on a beautiful sunny day!)

Smiths Combe - killer climb out, right at the end of the Quantocks, but love it. Brake pads on there last run!


Weacombe - first run down this one - not a fan of fast grass, but would like to do this a few times to get to know it.


And some pics showing the lay of the land! Tons more up there, including a lot of fun in the woods...

Great videos and pics. The Quantocks are awesome, did a few rides there last month. If you ever up for a ride then let me know - I am based in Somerset.
