Riding the Quantock hills singletrack MTB in 2025 | Triscombe off piste | #mtb #singletrack #mtblove

PPlease join me for a mountain biking (MTB) group ride around the Quantock Hills’ singletrack trails. Exploring beautiful singletrack trails, thrilling MTB descents, and off-piste routes. All of this takes place amidst wildlife like wild horses, 🐴 sheep, 🐑 and highland cows, 🐮as I explore this lush and stunning area of the Quantocks. 🌳

Riding with my friends Andy and Tom over three visits, I gained a much better understanding of what this area has to offer. The most beautiful forests, 🌳almost magical at this time of year, blooming with nature and wildlife at every turn. The ability to ride next to and through streams reminded me of my childhood, when I would ride for hours at a time without a care in the world. ☺Finding so much nature and beautiful animals grazing along the trails and fields made these rides something I shall treasure forever. 🤩

I hope this diary entry makes you smile, while also showcasing the stunning beauty of this tiny island that we call home in the UK. 🤞🏼

My diary entries celebrate the MTB community: a place where we lift each other, no one is left behind, and cheer on every milestone, no matter how small. 🤍 🤙🏼

You are all truly AWESOME.🤩 Thank you, my friends. 🙏🏼

I share this diary entry hoping 🤞🏼 that I will start to express my gratitude and showcase others achieving their goals, just as I have. ✅

My videos are not just about me; they are about MTB and one of the most remarkable revelations I have encountered: you, the MTB community that has consistently had a positive impact on me, as you have on each other. 🤍

I want to sincerely thank the MTB community for their incredible kindness, warmth, and support. Not only have I been welcomed into the community, but I’ve also had the joy of joining and organising group rides where I genuinely feel I have had the most fun, the most incredible adventures, and even the most significant progression in MTB. 😊

Until the next time, my friends, 😊 I wish you absolute LEGENDS 🙌🏼 now and always, many Happy Trails. 🤙🏼

See, we’re still getting into the wrong positions on some of the things that we’re doing here cuz it’s so hidden. Oh, what a feature. Yes. Happiest of days. Absolutely stunning. Keeping my hour for walkers here. I’m going to rain it in a little bit now cuz I’m going into the forest. Seeing an opportunity here. an opportunity of riding through a stream even if but for a short while. Didn’t have enough speed for that. I got Andy behind me. Oh man, there’s gap jumps. I don’t know. That’s going to be a bit above my pay grade. Just always going to ride past features that I don’t know. Just mate. Oh, I just don’t know. I’m going to have to dab. This is mate. I I’m I’m not so so d have to Hello absolute legends and just letting you know that we’re starting out from this car park here with the what three words information in the description for you as are all of the rides in the description for you and the video is of course timestamped as always. Now this is over several rides. The first couple of rides I did from the car park with my lovely friend Andy. Now we did a lot more exploration. We made a lot of mistakes and on this second ride, the details that I’m sharing with you, a lot less mistakes made, but we did actually go ahead and take in the Triscam trails. All starting from that central car park. Now, you’ll see that same loop again, but with my friend Tom who was on a recovery. We didn’t take in the Triscam trails. We did more of a loop. Again, both of these you’ll see starting at the A location and looping around to the left. And then we go ahead and loop around to the right and a forest bimble taking in the Street Bin Cafe. All of the details and elevations and that are in the description, including the Kimu and Strava rides. But I would save particularly for the ride with myself and Andy taking in those Trisum trails. I would have a look at that and make that your own because we did do a little bit of exploration. But both of those examples should give you a great loop around the forest. Make them your own and have a bimble like we did. This is going to be a stunning video combining three different rides taking in beautiful single track within a mile, magical forest, streams of dreams, and an epic day out, my friends. Yeah, it is awesome. Awesome. See, we’re still getting into the wrong positions on some of the things that we’re doing here cuz it’s so hidden. We’ve made even more tweaks to it this time to try and take out the mistakes that we made. Oh, it’s wibbly wobbly. It’s like riding through a quick sand. Oh, yes. Oh, loveliness. Right up through here. And then we’re I think we’re still descending quite a bit because if I remember in the first Let me just make sure Andy’s behind me. He is. In the first 3 miles or so, it was epic. Like 3 mi and 31 minutes. We get a stunning single track forest water features. You know, we’re at quite high elevation already, and I’ve got this new back tire on, which I’m rather tickled pink about. Ooh, off the track then. That’s staying in the edit. Oh, yes. Oh wow. It gets Oh, chunkiness. Oh, I say. Oh, yes. Oh, it’s so dark, isn’t it? Oh, right. Make sure I can see the trail. Oh, lovely. Now, I’m going to slow it down, Annie, cuz I know we’re going to turn and I’ve got to remember which way. I think it’s to the right. Make sure Andy’s coming. You all right? We got We got I think we’ve got some hiker bike down here, haven’t we? Cuz we’re already next to a water feature and there is some hiker bike action coming up cuz there’s a couple of logs. And this is the Quantox Recon with a tiny bit more confidence on the second run using some of the footage from the first run. But as I’ve said, I’ll always tell you the truth so I wouldn’t Oh, cheekiness. Oh, lovely. That was the log we could jump. Andy’s Andy’s done it. We’re just going through this epic lushness as the sun is. Oh, what a feature. Yes. Happiest of days. Oh, lovely. This is See what I’m saying about just within the first, you know, what have we done? 1.7 miles. 1.7 miles of awesomeness already. Tree tree of tree of big treeness. There we go. Look at that. How lovely is that? Oh, paradise. Paradise. Yeah. No, I’m not. We No, we No, we said that last time, mate. Cuz this is actually where you’re going to get your bottom bracket hit. You do that. You’d have to hit it with speed and clear it. Do you want to go back and do it? No. I’ll watch. But this is just I remember this from last time. This is absolutely my my dream. Like I think it’s bringing back, you know, when you used to play in puddles and pools when you were a kid. Coming down that drive. You got what, mate? Oh, really? Got more hiker bike here. Moment of appreciation for a water feature. And only a few minutes into the ride. As I said, we’ve already had that incredible single track. And at 1.7 mi, we’re in a magical forest riding next to a stream. I’ve seen incredible wildlife. I’ve seen highland cows. I’ve seen sheep. I’ve even seen wild deer. It’s been an incredible few trips here, and I’m going to be doing this for many more years to come. I really hope so far that I’ve got these kum names correct. I zoomed in as best I could and followed the trail hoping I got them accurately. But if I have made mistakes, please let me know and I’ll update them in the description, my friends. Are we going to go left down here? And then we cut left again, don’t we? Yeah. We don’t want to go too far this time. Last time we went too far. Oh, lovely. I keep forgetting where all the water features are. appreciation for water features. Yeah, it’s amazing when you see now that the sun’s coming through. He’s really trying to make an impact, isn’t it? Blue skies again already. Oh, yeah. This is our first little viewpoint that we go to just here before we cut right. And it’s absolutely lovely because I had a really epic drone shot, but it’s too windy today. And so that was Bicknot post. And look at this view here. It’s absolutely fantastic. And I know it sounds silly sometimes, but I just do like to stop and appreciate what’s around me. You know, when we’re stuck in the hustle and bustle of driving cars up and down the roads and motorways and in towns and cities and the like. Getting out on days out like this, getting fresh air, and just being surrounded by nature and views like this is what it’s all about for me. Only a couple of miles in with a fairly steep climb to get to here. It’s been incredible. I have only just discovered the Quantox. And on the last three or four rides, I’ve been absolutely hypnotized. I’m going to be coming here for decades, my friends. And this is our next viewpoint. We’re going to cut left in a minute. This is another area. My goodness, even with the mic covers on my GoPro, you can still hear how fierce that wind is. That’s the Hingley power station. They’re having Hinckley Point C, I believe, being upgraded at the moment. And what we’re going to do is we’re going to head now up to Beacon Hill, an absolutely brilliant location where you get stunning, and I mean stunning, vista views of the entire surrounding area at 310 m up. I’m really fortunate that at the time, even though I don’t have it anymore because it got broken and I had to get a refund, I have a fantastic set of drone footage from this area. You can just capture how amazing the view is from up here. And we’ve only about 3.5 mi into the ride. We’ve only been going for about 10 minutes or so. Isn’t it incredible what we found here in just less than 3 and 1/2 miles in the Quantok Hills. I’m so excited to explore this area again and again for many, many more years to come, my friends. I’m going to pay attention to the forest. And this is where we go into the woods. And I want to be respectful of the uh potential walkers. But this is into a a dreamy forest of lushness. Absolutely stunning. Keeping my eye out for walkers here. I’m going to rain it in a little bit now because I’m going into the forest. Just rain it in a little bit. So I’ve always keep an eye out for walkers. Looking ahead. Yeah. Okay, we’re still clear. Keeping my Yeah, that’s good. That’s good. Lovely. Lovely. Right. Whoa. Lushness. Rain it in cuz I can’t see around the corner. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Still clear. I just want to be really respectful of anybody walking. So, I’m going to rain it in now cuz that’s a bit of a blind corner. No, I’m not going to take the risk. Nope. I I can’t see now. I just Yeah, I’m not taking any risks. Let’s just Yeah, that’s it. That’s fine. See, because I got Yeah, I couldn’t take the risk then. Especially if someone’s got a little doggy. I just want to air on the side of caution. Of course, you’d love to just go at it. The only way you could do that is if you had CV radios and one of you at the bottom saying it’s all clear. Then you could have a field day coming down there. I think we’re just saying that this time we’re being a bit more aggressive with our um direction as in we’re not going to look at the satnav as much. We’re going to go by gut and just check on it. It obviously screams at you anyway when you’re going in the wrong direction. Yeah, there’s a bit of single track down here. I remember this. But again, um walkers, so just going to be a bit sensible on this. Yeah. See, I don’t know. Yeah. No, I know. I just I just got to be if you can’t if I can’t see, I don’t want to be tearing through somewhere and get getting knocking a doggy waggy over or a walker. That would be just rude. And I think we bimble down here for a little bit before we cut. Let’s have a look. Oh, it’s lovely, isn’t it? Oh, and I know what we have to come is going to be right here cuz I can’t see if there’s a walker here. Um, have some rather spectacular overdose for me of doggy doggy walkiness. That’s it. He’s a righthander. Here he is. Into the rocky descent into the forest. And this should be a sensory potential overloading of me riding through sea streams. Hello sheepy weepy. Hello sheepy weepy. Hello. Well, aren’t we being gifted with lots of beautiful animals? Okay, I’m not sure if you can let me just stop. Not sure if you can see this, but we’re effectively going to do this massive loop. And the reason I’m doing this No, stop it. Reason I’m doing this massive loop is that over here is a multitude of water features. And I think if I remember rightly, this time I might even be able to ride through a stream. Oh, I’m so weird. I’m so weird. I need help. We’ve got to cut down here. And it’s a beautiful little trail that takes you into what I can only consider to be a sort of like a magical part of the forest. But there is a brutal, and I mean brutal, climb afterwards. See, this is how hidden it was. So Andy’s behind me. We’re going to go down here now. And this takes us into the forest. It’s quite It was quite a hidden little trail. Obviously, you’re planning it all on commute, aren’t you? Right. Let’s rain it in when I can’t see because of dogs and walkers. Yeah. See, just want to be a bit respectful just in case. Yeah. Now, if I remember rightly, we just cut straight down here. And there’s a tight right turn. I’ve got to remember cuz I actually Yeah, there it is. I almost went into it last time. And it gets quite chunky through here. Chunkiness. Chunky. Chunky. Chunky chunky chunky chunky chunky chunky chunky chunky chunky. Oh. Oh yes. Oh loveliness. And then we’re into this area here which is absolutely beautiful. Just watch it cuz of walkers and dog walkers and stuff. Lushness. Oh, cheekiness and dirty dirty dirty. Oh, dirty. Oh, watery. Oh, and he fights through the stream. And again, this is, if I remember rightly, we’re sort of basically following parallel to the stream, aren’t we? I think I think we’re following sort of parallel sort of basically making our way straight down through here and then we cut left. Look how magical this is through here. Wow. Oh, that’s just lovely, isn’t it? Quantox lushness. The beautifification of Quantox. So the old Oh, look at this area here. Oh, this is just awesome. Oh, this is just Somebody’s had a fire there. This is just absolutely stunning. Oh, sensory overload. Oh, absolutely fantastic. Now, believe it or not, my lovely friend Darren from Church of Dirt is also partial to a water feature, and I’m hopefully going to be bringing him here in a few weeks time so that he can also have a sensory overload of water features like this. of why this is becoming one of my favorite favorite trails if for all of it is to ride next to streams like this. Oh, just lovely. Yeah, I honestly buddy, I would I would just come here and ride around this all day long. It’s just absolutely stunning. Absolutely beautiful. I’m just being a lot more casual now because the last time I was here, I was just obsessed about checking the old satnav, but now it’s kind of just it’ll make a bit of noise when we go off course. Anyway, I’m I’m actually going through the stream. I don’t know if I’m supposed to, but I’m just seeing an opportunity here. An opportunity of riding through a stream, even if for a short while. Oh. Just I think Gadney’s followed me. Yes. Absolutely spectacular. I feel like I’m able to enjoy this a bit this this time, bud, cuz I’m just letting myself just take it all in more. You know, not obsessing about whether we make a wrong turn or not. Because last time we were obsessed about trying to follow the route exactly, but because there were so many things that were wrong, it was a case of, well, look, just I think it was awesome because you want to know the route for if you did a guide, right? Yeah. Cuz we want to get people to come here. So, we want to kind of get used to it ourselves before we take people on it. Yeah. Just get We’re going to do that today. We’re going to take a short ride later when we get to a point and we’re actually just going to go off track and just basically figure out a few fire roads around some forest that look really awesome and sessionable. And that’s the great thing about these group rides with just one other person. Andy and I have both said we probably wouldn’t have done this ride so much on our own. Um, but having that one other person, which to me equates a group ride is all the confidence you need to be able to achieve it. And that then equates to progression and also more fun cuz we do, Andy’s a lot better at it than I am, but we do take the mick out of each other a little bit, which is quite nice. But this is just intoxicating, isn’t it? This is just like this is a cross. This this is the definition of a cross country ride, isn’t it? I mean, this is, you know, you’ve got these XC water feature. You’ve got these XC loops that we’ve been on, but this is a proper cross country bimble. A multitude of water features going in multiple directions. Sensory overload. This is just inc. Darren’s going to have a field day when he comes down here. He’s going to absolutely love it. And look at this as well. Oh, you just absolutely lovely man’s in biking and just days like this. Honestly, no matter what’s going on in my life, we all have our situations that might not be perfect. I’m a strong believer in mental health and my friends who know me know the sort of things I’m going through at the moment. Days like this, oh, helps me to recharge my soul and clear my mind every single time. Now, on my first ride, this didn’t happen. On my second ride, what you’re about to see happened and actually got me almost to fall off my bike. I’m now on my third ride with my lovely friend Tom, and he’s about to share his exact emotions for what I’m about to show you in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of a forest. And I am not even joking. You know, not physically big. Don’t know. It scares me a little bit and me. It does scare me a little bit. Scares me a lot. Yeah. cuz I think we come out around here somewhere and we actually come and out and we saw wild horses. Well, I think we did. This is lovely. Lovely cheekiness. Keeping an eye out for people. Oh, yes. Lovely. Raining it in. Bit of a jump. There we go. Lovely. Now we just cut down here to the right. Andy’s behind me. Yes. Lovely. Oh, that was nice. Nice. Oh, quantox. Absolutely stunning. Suits you. Oh, suits you. Yes. So, I was saying they were just they were just out here. Now, we’re using this single track now to get back to the car. And whether you’re following the Andy and Jason trail, which will take you eventually to the Trisum trails to try the off piece there, or the Jason and Tom one, which is going to give you a more gentle bimble, all of them on the first loop where you’ve gone from the car park around to the left there doing a figure of an eight, will all take you back to the car to get yourself some refreshments. And that’s where this is all coming to play here. We’re now taking this lovely single track here and we’re going to come across yet more, and I mean even more beautiful and stunning wildlife. There are horses out there. There are highlanding cows, sheep. I’ve seen up to 18 or 20 deer on the trails. It’s just a a ridiculous place of beautiful forest, single track, open vistas and views, and wildlife everywhere. Now, after that car park stop and refreshments, you could be following myself and Andy down this trail here. We’re heading actually on a more direct route to get to the cafe because our afternoon is going to be taking care of off-piece trails. And look at that. Isn’t it just stunning? Alternatively, you could be following the loop that myself and Tom took, which is actually going down the drove here, which is a apparently a very historical going back hundreds, if not thousands of years trade route. Now, we’re making our way down and even we’re still going to come into some beautiful nature as well. These Highland cows, it’s everywhere. It is just a fantastic trail to ride. The loops that we’ve done in any one of them, you’re going to come across this nature and anywhere between 20 and 25 miles. The main goal though, of course, is we’re heading down here down to the water the street bean cafe. This lovely cafe is a fantastic place for us to catch up, getselves a panini, have a bite to eat, maybe even a cheeky cake and a lovely coffee. All of which less to a lovely water feature. Now, these next two descents are more gentle descents that I did with Tom because it was a recovery ride for him. So, I’m just going to show you these two descents before we get over to the Triscam trails with Andy, my friends. Tree down here as well from last time. Yeah, there it is. There it is. And we got walkers as well. Raining it in right away. Feather it. Feather it. Feather it. Feather it. Feather it. Feather it. Feather it. Feather. There we go. We got walkers coming. There we go. Nice and gentle. There we go. Yeah, this is the one that’s down. I knew it was here. I don’t know when they’ll get to remove that, unfortunately. Oh, yeah. There we go. Might have some more walkers down here. So, raining it in on this corner. Even though it looks like it’s free. Back end’s kicking out like a humdinger there, though. Say that for a fact. Wibbly wobbly lushness. Oh, lovely jubbly. I am 90% confident. 90% confident this is the way. Right. I can’t see through here. Whoa. Oh, the bushes, the brambles. Watch out for walkers. Open it up. Here, through here, through here. And then we bimble. Bimble, bimble, bimble. Cheekiness. Chunkiness. Chunky. Chunky. Chunky. Chunky. Chunky. I don’t think there’s any trees down in here. I’m going to be a little bit cuz this is this is the Rocky Balboas of chunkiness. Wibbly wobbly. Oh my goodness me. This is a teeth rattler, isn’t it? Oh, I say. Oh. Now, for those of you who might have jumped to this time stamp for the Triscam trails, or if you’ve stuck with me to this part, I’m absolutely humbled and blown away. Thank you so much. But this is us making our way from the cafe that I was just pointing to there up here towards the Trisum trail head. Now, I’m not quite sure of the trails we rode. I’ve got a rough idea, but again, I don’t have Trail Forks Pro. My friend thinks one of the trails was called Don’t Run Over My Bike, but it’s quite funny because I actually had a whoopsy daisy and Andy nearly did run over me and my bike. So, I think it’s quite fitting. But the trails are Mark Blue. I’m going to say they’re a bit spicier than that. Um, in fact, I would definitely say airing on the side of very, very spicy. But we’re going to take a couple of trails here. They start out flowy and fun, but then they get, as I’ve said, spicy. I would like you to make your own decisions on this. There is going to be a bit of a whoopsy daisy and I’m really looking forward to coming here with my friend Andy and also when Tom gets healed to session these trails and have a play around finding out what we find is within our pay grade and what is definitely not. But this is the Trisum trail head my friends. Uh no I don’t mind. You want to go right? I think yeah should go right. Right. Well let’s go let’s go right. Recon mission. Um right let’s get into this then. Triscom trails exploration recon mission. Oh cheekiness. I missed a feature. Oh rude, rude, rude. Oh yes. Oh this is lovely. Oh look at this proper nar. Yeah. Chunky chunky burmy. Oh. Oh yes. That was a that was interesting. Didn’t have enough speed for that. I got Andy behind me. Oh man, there’s gap jumps. I don’t know. That’s going to be a bit above my pay grade. Just always going to ride past features that I don’t know. I’m just Oh, it’s getting a bit spicy now, bud. Oh, I say Oh. Oh, okay. Let’s just rain it in a little bit. Oh, I say Oh, just mate. the Oh, I just don’t know. I’m going to have to dab. This is mate. I I’m not so So, don’t have to dab. No, I’m not so sure this was a brilliant idea to sort of finish the day. Hey, I mean I know I I made a mess of that, but but I’m not going to lie to you. I was a bit nervous. So, it’s going to be a pre-ride mentality. We’ll take this trail. I’m going to do it as slow as I need to go because it said that towards the end of the day and we just need to reccon it. If you want to stay on my backside, I’ll give you plenty of room. Okay. All right. If you’re going to go slower, I’ll go a little bit closer. I’m going to go slow and let’s just recon this trail. Let’s do a proper recon because that first one was a little bit spicy than I had anticipated. This is starting out to be quite flowy. Make sure he’s with me. Yeah, starting out to be quite flowy. I’m getting reminiscence of dowi-esque feelings here. Is there? Okay, then. So, we just just keep going straight then. Okay, then. Right. Chunky. Junky chunky up and over and around. Now I’m just going to follow the flow of the trail. I don’t know if this is the correct one. I’m going to assume it is. Andy’s with me. Just recognition. Chunky. Chunky. Make sure he’s Yeah. Yeah. It’s okay. It’s okay. Hit that. See? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That was I couldn’t see it. I couldn’t see it, mate. Right. Okay then. Okay. Let’s go through here. This is I’m not going to say anything cuz I don’t want to Don’t ride over my bike. Yeah. He almost rode over my bike. Right. This does seem. Okay. Spicy. Spicy. Right. Right. Let’s just address these one at a time. Oh, dabbage. No dab. Um I’ve I’ve messed I’m going to have to walk this. I’ve messed up for this one. I can’t. Yeah, I I messed that one up. That’s That’s a bit fruity, isn’t it? Yeah, it’s Yeah, cuz I messed up and it’s one of those ones I just Yeah, it just I just I feel like these trails start out quite lovely and then they get like like Yeah. spicy. You with me, bud? chunky rooty rooty rooty. It’s just I know this isn’t pretty, but this is a recon mission and um I’ve already had a whoopsy daisy. This is like off camber, off camber, right? That’s a bit nicer, bit flowy. Catch you. Make sure everything’s behind me. I know this isn’t pretty, and if anyone’s local and knows these trails like the back of your hand, I can only apologize. But I’ve got to do a pre-ride mentality. This is a recon mission. And you know, I have noticed that the trails around here certainly get spicy. Let’s just reevaluate. Mate, that just I don’t understand how that’s a blue trail. Come to Tris, he said. We’ll do some blue trails, he said. It’ll be a blast. He said, feature. I’d like to say a massive thank you to Andy on my left here and also Tom on my right. Andy of course for joining me on those first two rides that we did. Giving us the confidence to do something like this. This group ride of just two people helped us to accomplish the quant which we wouldn’t have done on our own including exploring those rather spicy Trisum trails. And my MTV soul friend Tom also for joining me on a recovery ride. Now whichever way you go starting from the car park you’ll always do that loop to the left. That loop to the left will get you to see things like this where you see the cows and highland cows, normal cows, sheep, deer. It’s just fantastic. It’s when you get back to the car, you have the decisions on what you to do. Do you want to follow the route Andy and I took and do the Triscam trails that are a bit spicier after the cafe? Or do you want a more gentle bimble and a loop around the forest? However you do it, I can only hope that I’ve inspired you to discover the Quantok Hills. Start from the parking location I’ve shared. And please give me your comments if you’ve never been there before. If you’ve taken what I’ve given you and gone out for a bimble and enjoyed it yourselves. This is what we do in the community. We share what we’ve learned with others. We don’t want anything other than people to experience joy, happiness, and fun on these group rides within the community. Thank you so much for the kind words and support you’ve given me. I can only hope this is a teaser of what I’m going to be showing you soon with a massive group of people from Church of Dirt joining me on this XC ride. And until next time, my friends, as always, I wish you many, many happy trails. [Music] [Music]
