Pancakes, bacon and golden syrup made up the opening act for this Sunday, as another bright spring day loomed. Since last week, I also made a decision. As you know by now, I have not been getting on so well with my new pair of EXTREME walking boots, which have been rubbing at myContinue reading “Hartfield Circular – 6.9 miles”

Ightham Mote to Knole Park Circular – 8.5 miles
Finally, the morning window showed blue skies and sunshine. Finally, the smell of sunscreen lingered around us. Finally, my shorts have returned. Yes, after what has seemed like an unusually long time, the fine weather does appear to once again be upon us! And the timing couldn’t be better, as we continue our stringContinue reading “Ightham Mote to Knole Park Circular – 8.5 miles”
Cowden Circular – 5.4 miles
A slight change of order to things today, as we return to one of our favourites. Due to the changeable weather across the day, we decided to begin at what is usually the halfway point on this route, The Rock Inn. We arrived for midday amongst some drizzle, and stopped in for a lunchContinue reading “Cowden Circular – 5.4 miles”
Rolvenden to Tenterden Circular -7.8 miles
April has arrived, and to kick off mid-spring, we returned to another of our favourites. We parked up and set off from Rolvenden at just gone eleven o’clock into a pleasant but changeable day. When the sun was shining, the air was hot, but a wind blustered for most of the day, pushing throughContinue reading “Rolvenden to Tenterden Circular -7.8 miles”
The Devil’s Leap – 6 miles
Having spent our last few adventures filling in the gaps, today we returned to one of our favourites, The Devil’s Leap, which we last did a couple of years ago. We also made sure to be on the route in good time, knowing that the best of the day was earlier on. So, withContinue reading “The Devil’s Leap – 6 miles”
Northiam Circular – 7.9 miles
The day was grey and abnormally blustery. It was also a Tuesday. So what, you may be asking, were we doing on a windy Tuesday morning, undertaking our normal Sunday activity? Well, there was one very simple and good answer; it was my Birthday! Continuing on from our recent trend of “filling in theContinue reading “Northiam Circular – 7.9 miles”
Darwell Circular – 9.4 miles
Today we would be filling in another gap in our map, amongst the countryside to the west of Robertsbridge. This walk was also significant for the debut of our new walking bag, as gifted to us by my Mum and Dad! We set off later than normal, leaving the car park at Darwell WoodContinue reading “Darwell Circular – 9.4 miles”
Stonegate Circular – 8.1 miles
The day looked promising, with blue skies and sunshine visible out of the bedroom window. By the time we arrived at the start point of Ticehurst, a little cloud had come over; however, conditions were still a lot finer than most days recently. This route was chosen after looking at a map of whereContinue reading “Stonegate Circular – 8.1 miles”
Cranbrook to Sissinghurst Circular – 10 miles
We awoke to a heavily misty morning out the window. This might not have been weather we had been hoping for, but you know what? It’s still March, which in my mind means one thing: Spring! Following what has been a very damp and, for us, low-mileage winter, the prospect of our favouriteContinue reading “Cranbrook to Sissinghurst Circular – 10 miles”
Mürren to Grütschalp – 3.5 Miles
Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland Switzerland has always been a special place to Beth. Throughout her child, she and her family would go there on holiday ever year, to the Jungfrau Region in the alps. Over the years, they gathered many special memories, and it very naturally became very meaningful to them all. It was hereContinue reading “Mürren to Grütschalp – 3.5 Miles”
