Monday morning arrived on our autumnal Cotswolds adventure, the day forecast to be the brightest of our stay. With that in mind, we put on our boots and set off to explore some all-new footpaths. We left the starting point of Kingham Station into a cool day and made our way down the roadContinue reading “Bledington Circular (Cotswolds Pt.1) – 9 miles”

Battle Circular – 4.5 miles
As we enter November, we finally returned to the High Weald for the first time in several weeks, this time heading to its southern end, the town of Battle. We also sent off much later than we have been recently, leaving the train station car park at twenty to twelve. This was sort ofContinue reading “Battle Circular – 4.5 miles”
Robertsbridge Circular – 5 miles
We’re back! Here we go for round two, our second year of blogging, excited to do it all over again. What adventures will the footpaths lead us on across the coming seasons? Time will tell. We kicked off our sophomore year with a nice and easy fiver-miler heading out of Robertsbridge deepContinue reading “Robertsbridge Circular – 5 miles”
Horsmonden to Goudhurst Circular – 8.5 miles
Here we are, another summer coming to an end. It’s been a busy one and despite the damp start, one we have certainly made the most of. To round it off in a somewhat poetic way, today we are heading over to Horsmonden, the location of our very first summer walk all those weeksContinue reading “Horsmonden to Goudhurst Circular – 8.5 miles”
Cranbrook to Benenden Circular – 9.5 miles
We woke to a blue sky out the window, light pouring in from a day that promised to reach soaring temperatures. After a quick spicy-fried egg bagel for breakfast, we pegged the washing out before leaving, and already we could feel the heat of the day creeping in…were we making a mistake? WeContinue reading “Cranbrook to Benenden Circular – 9.5 miles”
Lamberhurst to Scotney Castle Loop – 5.9 miles
This simple route is one we have done several times and holds a special place in our hearts. Four years ago on a fine summer’s day, only a week after we started going out, we went for a walk around Scotney Castle and ended up in The Chequers pub for a drink and aContinue reading “Lamberhurst to Scotney Castle Loop – 5.9 miles”
Matfield Circular – 7.1 miles
Today we would be enjoying a walk that we were familiar with and had become fond of right from our very first lap, a little over three years ago. This seven-mile loop was one of the first we went on when we started walking semi-regularly on our weekends and was possibly the very firstContinue reading “Matfield Circular – 7.1 miles”
Hawkhurst to Bedgebury Circular – 7 miles
Returning to a more familiar walk than recent weeks, on this particularly overcast, muggy Sunday, we chose to tackle a walk we had done before, starting from the village green on Hawkhurst’s ‘moor side’, swinging out and around to the edges of the Bedgebury Forest. This was, however, one of the routes whose instructionsContinue reading “Hawkhurst to Bedgebury Circular – 7 miles”
Horsmonden Circular – 5 miles
So it begins. The sweet torture that can be walking in the brilliant heat of summer. As the cooler days of spring vanish into the rear-view, these long sunny days bring with them a host of new challenges – sweating, stinging eyes, sunburn, glare, chaffing pants, dehydration, the overgrowth of nettles and brambles;Continue reading “Horsmonden Circular – 5 miles”
Staplecross Circular – 9 miles
For our final spring adventure, we had saved one of our very favourite walks, starting from a woodland car park, just outside the small village of Cripps Corner. We intentionally set off later than normal, aiming to catch the best of the day’s weather, so crossed the road and onto a woodland rise toContinue reading “Staplecross Circular – 9 miles”
