I will probably Drive to Taunton railway station and park and get the Train to Bridgewater from there, so that when we Finish I can just drive home I will have space in my car from Exeter or get a train direct to Bridgewater. I have put this walk on a Saturday as it will be a long day.  The walk is probally easy to moderate but long and flat and tiring especially on your feet.
