Risk assessment (21 Jan 2025)  1. car park to Huish Drove is a river side path which is not designated as a cycle path. Lots of pedestrians and dog walkers. May have to walk this section if busy. Give way to pedestrians. 2. Car park at start of Huish Drove has paving which can be difficult for less experienced riders 3. Huish Drove is a rough track with lots of puddles. Riders could get cold if they get soaked (mention this just before Drove) 4. Rail track is slightly less rough 5. There is a small section of road through Westover trading estate which walking  should be considered 5. Walk over pedestrian bridge after cafe 6. River path - consider walking if busy.
