Lamberhurst to Goudhurst Circular – 9 miles

WE GOT MARRIED! After all the planning and practicing and gathering of wool and moss, the day has finally been and gone. Together, we completed our shortest but most important of walks; the one up the aisle. We were married just outside of Ticehurst, overlooking the High Weald on a bright and sunnyContinue reading “Lamberhurst to Goudhurst Circular – 9 miles”

Bodiam Circular – 5 miles

It’s B-Day! Yes, one of our favourite days of the year came around again, and the clouds parted to reveal the blueness beyond as we arrived at Bodiam Castle, at about ten o’clock. We departed and made our way across the Rother and quickly onto the footpath. We normally do this walk aContinue reading “Bodiam Circular – 5 miles”

Burwash Circular – 5.5 miles

For today’s adventure we began in the familiar village of Burwash, setting off from the free car park at about quarter past eleven. The day was significantly greyer than recent weeks, and cooler too, although as we got going the humidity soon made us sticky. We made our way out of Burwash downContinue reading “Burwash Circular – 5.5 miles”

Groombridge Circular – 9.7 miles

First thing to note, is that this was a very hot day indeed! As such, we did our best to get out onto the route as early as possible to avoid the worst of the heat, particularly given that we would be doing a longer route. After tasty pancakes we headed out andContinue reading “Groombridge Circular – 9.7 miles”

Yalding to Teston Circular – 7.5 miles

For this week’s walk, we tried something a little different. Due to weekend commitments, we would not be able to complete our usual Sunday walk. So, we decided that, after work on Friday, we would embark on our first evening walk! For this new venture, we decided to go for the most local routeContinue reading “Yalding to Teston Circular – 7.5 miles”

Benenden to Rolvenden Circular – 7.5 miles

Summer adventure number three, and we return to one that we first walked back in late 2023. On the previous occasion, the experience was slightly tainted by me thinking I had lost my watch on the way around (in reality, I had left it at home). We carefully noted at the start that, byContinue reading “Benenden to Rolvenden Circular – 7.5 miles”

Cousley Wood Circular – 10.8 miles

Another weekend arrived, and so onto another new route. Whilst I am calling this one the Cousley Wood Circular, in reality it orbits right around Wadhurst. However, we already have a couple labelled as such, so Cousley Wood it is. A place we have driven through a hundred times but never actually stopped in,Continue reading “Cousley Wood Circular – 10.8 miles”

Doleham to Brede Circular – 6.2 miles

Then suddenly, it was summer again! The hottest season is once again upon us, which of course comes with its own challenges, but always offers some fantastic walking – I have a feeling that this one is going to be life changing. To kick things of, we went for a wonderful newContinue reading “Doleham to Brede Circular – 6.2 miles”

Chiddingstone Causeway Circular (Attempt 2) – 4.3 miles

Despite a grey and windy start, the afternoon looked promising as we neared the day’s starting point. We had decided to make our second attempt at this particular route thanks to Guinea Pig related duties having pulled us in that general direction, after our first attempt was washed out back in November. We arrived atContinue reading “Chiddingstone Causeway Circular (Attempt 2) – 4.3 miles”

Sandhurst Cross Circular – 7 miles

Bleary eyes woke to an overcast sky cast upon an unsuspecting Thursday morning. However, this was no ordinary Thursday – this was an adventure day. Due to the upcoming requirement of my presence in the Costa del Sol in Spain this Sunday, Beth and I both took a day off from work to enjoyContinue reading “Sandhurst Cross Circular – 7 miles”
