The link I posted should work, but sadly it doesn't seem to agree with UseBB (forum software) so I have had to paste it in full, rather than as a link. Therefore you'll have to copy and paste it off the page.
I think the route at the moment has far too many B roads. Would be nice, but is probably bumpy, difficult to follow, and a lot slower. I wouldn't fancy being on the receiving end of all the griping if at the end of the day we got a bit lost either... Can you believe there are four Premier Inns in and around Taunton? There we go! Managed to solve it. The problem were the brackets () in the URL. Here is the link again. _______________ Electric bikes are great.
