Greyhound Inn_Staple Fitzpaine
Forestry commission paths, farmland and generally quiet lanes. One B road at the start for c300 yards. This is an area to the East of Taunton taking in parts of the East Deane Way, and elements of a local trail called Herepath. As well as the Greyhound the route passes near to the Farmers Arms near West Hatch, part pub and part B&B. It was closed on a friday lunchtime when I passed. Route is muddy in places. Just before waypoint ST 266 191 there is now a coppice - matching the oblong shape on the map - but the coppice is not shown on the map. There's a footpath gate into the coppice, but very overgrown tracks from there. Use initiative to get to the waypoint to pick up the path again uphill through the fields. I followed the hedge to the right before heading into the coppice and tracked to the waypoint from its right hand side. The upside was that I saw 3 red deer hinds here.
