A pleasant return to normality this week, after a couple of slightly more unusual adventures. Sunday just gone, we decided to head out to one of our most familiar routes, Etchingham to Devil’s leap circular, a walk we would be completing for the third time (discounting the first attempt, when we got to theContinue reading “The Devil’s Leap – 5.3 miles”

Hartfield Circular – 6.9 miles
Spring, it’s finally here, our favourite walking season – blue skies and new life. Only a week since our last walk, yet somehow it felt much more than that. The day looked promisingly clear as we headed out a little later than normal, selecting an all-new route, 45 minutes away. Hartfield, just on theContinue reading “Hartfield Circular – 6.9 miles”
Sissinghurst to Frittenden Circular – 5.4 miles
For our final winter walk of the year, we went for one we already have a certain amount of history with, a five-and-a-half-mile circular from Sissinghurst Castle. On paper, the route is relatively short and sweet, which indeed it is, however for some reason, we have never found it simple. This is specifically dueContinue reading “Sissinghurst to Frittenden Circular – 5.4 miles”
Holt to Baconsthorpe Circular (Norfolk) – 8.5 miles
Welcome to the first ever Pathfinder ON TOUR! For this edition, we travelled north to explore the county of Norfolk, where we stayed close to the North Coast for a few nights. Not really knowing the area all that well, we were going in a little blind when choosing a route. However, BethContinue reading “Holt to Baconsthorpe Circular (Norfolk) – 8.5 miles”
Wadhurst to Buckhurst Circular – 5.5 miles
In this edition of Pathfinder, we are honoured to welcome and excited to introduce for the first time, a very special guest – Pumpkin. Pumpkin is a young greyhound who belongs to our friends, and she is their pride and joy. Whilst they have been away on their honeymoon to the Caribbean, weContinue reading “Wadhurst to Buckhurst Circular – 5.5 miles”
Ashdown Forest Circular – 5.5 miles
Deciding to head down to the semi-local Ashdown forest seemed to be a simple, straightforward idea. As the home of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin, what could possibly go wrong? Well, the first thing to go wrong was finding a route itself! There is of course the well-known circular taking you to allContinue reading “Ashdown Forest Circular – 5.5 miles”
Winchelsea Circular – 6.5 miles
Our Autumn adventures continued across the border into East Sussex, to a route which we had walked once previously. The day was once again bright and clear with highs of 12°C, although with a sea breeze in mind, we decided to go with the winter coats. On our first venture, we had parked whereContinue reading “Winchelsea Circular – 6.5 miles”
Benenden to Rolvenden Circular – 7.5 miles
For our third walk of the season, we headed out into the High Weald for a brand new 7.5-mile route from Benenden to Rolvenden and back again, and the colours of autumn were in full, dazzling display! The sun was shining and the skies were blue, promising a beautiful day ahead with temperatures expectedContinue reading “Benenden to Rolvenden Circular – 7.5 miles”
Ticehurst Circular – 7 miles
For the first Pathfinder walk, and also first of our Autumn walks, we have gone with an already tried-and-tested route; a 7-mile circular starting at the picturesque East Sussex village of Ticehurst, passing along the edge of the popular Bewl Water reservoir. We set off at just gone half-eleven, with the day was mostlyContinue reading “Ticehurst Circular – 7 miles”
Welcome to Pathfinder!
Ever spotted an enticing footpath as you passed by an enchanting woodland? Ever seen a small yellow arrow pointing far across rolling hills, and wondered what lies beyond? Over recent years my fiancé Beth and I have spent our Sundays exploring the hundreds of miles of footpaths hidden away throughout the much-underappreciated countrysideContinue reading “Welcome to Pathfinder!”
