Somerset Inbetweeners walking & adventure group (ages 25-49)

This is a lovely late afternoon walk, on a clear day catching the sun as it heads over the west side of the Quantocks, with some great views towards the edge of Exmoor and over to Wales. We start by dropping down from the car park and through woodland for the first part of the walk, before climbing back up Paradise Combe to enjoy the views from the open moor on the way back. We'll stop after 45mins or so for an afternoon break and make other stops as needed and should be back to the car park within 2 hours. 5/10 difficulty as there is a reasonable uphill section to get back up to the top and some lesser up and down along the way.

Bring a drink and whatever snacks you need and be prepared for sunshine or rain. The walk will go ahead unless visibility is really poor or there is persistent rain - so keep an eye out for updates.

Afterwards there is the option of a sneaky pint at the Windmill Inn which is a further 15min walk or short drive away. This location is not great for public transport so please comment if you'd like to see if anyone can offer you a lift.

A great morning walk to get you going and still leaving much of your Saturday free. The Blackdowns AONB may be lesser known than Exmoor or the Quantocks, but no less beautiful to explore. Other than a couple of short stretches across farmer's fields, this whole route is on wide lanes or paths making it ideal for socialising as much as walking. Mostly gentle drops and climbs hence 5/10.

Starting at the car park in the woods, we drop down along tracks and lanes to the rolling fields below, before heading across some single track paths to eventually join the historic Herepath back up through extensive woodlands, with a short detour to the viewpoint on a clear day.

We'll stop before the climb back up through the woods and make other stops as needed, getting back to the car park in around 2 hours.

Bring a drink and whatever snacks you need and be prepared for sunshine or rain. The walk will go ahead unless visibility is really poor or there is persistent rain - so keep an eye out for updates.

Like our previous walk this location is not great for public transport, although reasonably close to Taunton, so please comment if you'd like to see if anyone can offer you a lift.

OK so they're fake, but great music line-up this year and reviews of last year's festival are that it was awesome! NOTE: The organisers have NOT bought tickets for this event themselves yet and individuals will be responsible for their own tickets. However, if you like live music and want to check this out then let's see how many people we get RSVP'ing and make a plan for there (including buying some actual tickets at some point!)...
