Two very contrasting walks on the Quantock Hills. Saturday was characterised by thick fog and precious little in the way of views, however the hoar frost was quite spectacular (see pic).The temperature up on the Quantock ridge was freezing but the ten mile walk was completed in good style.
Sunday dawned with high cloud and occasional glimpses of a strange glowing object in the sky, so we headed for the high ridge again and this time were rewarded with views of Steep Holme and Flat Holme islands, the Welsh Coast, Exmoor and the Brendon Hills. We finished off with Sunday roast (a choice of pork ,venison, poached halibut or grilled polenta) before heading home.
We stayed at Combe House hotel, idyllically located in Holford Combe. The food was innovative and good. Service was cheerful and efficient. A good seasonal weekend.
