Day 9: Crowcombe to Taunton

God's Grace & Example: Forgive us our Trespasses As we Forgive those who Trespass against us
What is the provision for forgiveness for our sins? How much harder is it to forgive others?

We ascend back up into the Quantocks and follow a ridge for a few miles before descending into West Bagborough for lunch at the Rising Sun. Retracing our steps back up to the ridge, we continue out of the Quantocks and down to Kinston St Mary, before a reasonably flat walk into Taunton for our second rest day. Expect plenty more nice views and scenery in this stunning part of the South West.
