Another Quantock Hills adventure  exploring another way up to the hills --this time from the beautiful  Somerset village of Crowcombe------a place I have visited on other occasions but previously arriving via the Crowcombe Gate area off the hills and descending and ascending the very  steep Crowcombe Hill minor road---Visiting Initially as  part of 'My Somerset Churches Project' which still continues where I have been  visiting many Somerset churches over the years and  creating videos etc,.... But not  on this day---today I decided to explore yet another route, track and pathway to reach Hurley Beacon as part of a larger hike including the Black Hill Trig.Point and then down and along Lower Hare Knapp to Holford Green for a picnic and then  wandering  thru Hodders Combe with its gnarled trees and  'Babbling Brooks' at the fords before  the ascent up Shepherds Combe to Bicknoller Post---a great junction point for many pathways---finally a gentle meander down Bicknoller Combe and thru the gorgeous village of Bicknoller to finish the 'Horseshoe Wander' for the bus and then the train back to WSM.......Phew---it was a hot day but brilliant....
