It had been three whole weeks since our last venture out into the countryside, and the change in that time was noticeable. Gone were most of the autumnal colours, and the first real mud had arrived in place. However, as we pulled up at Ightham Mote, we were pleased to be outside, beneath aContinue reading “Oldbury Hill Circular – 5.5 miles”

Buckhurst Circular – 5.5 miles
Another adventure dawns, and we found ourselves arriving at Wadhurst Station around quarter past eleven on a bright autumnal day. On the way over we had overtaken a cyclist, who had then overtaken us as we got lunch from the Co-op. We had then overtaken him again, only for him to go past usContinue reading “Buckhurst Circular – 5.5 miles”
Ashdown Forest Circular – 6 miles
This weekend we returned to a walk we first completed a couple of years ago, around the ever-popular Ashdown Forest. It wasn’t a bad route, however that attempt had been impacted slightly by both tricky-to-follow instructions and map, as well as a lunch booking waiting for us at the other end. This time, thereContinue reading “Ashdown Forest Circular – 6 miles”
Winchelsea Circular – 6.5 miles
For our next autumnal adventure we made a welcome return to one of our very favourite walks, and indeed days out. We parked up at the tiny Winchelsea station and headed off at about a quarter to eleven. The day was bright and would have been almost warm, had it not been for theContinue reading “Winchelsea Circular – 6.5 miles”
Luddesdown Circular – 6.2 miles
The day was somewhat grey and we knew that there was more than a chance of rain due to arrive in the middle of the afternoon. However, it had been a whole three weeks since our last walk, and Beth was itching to get her boots on. We decided to go for it, andContinue reading “Luddesdown Circular – 6.2 miles”
Ticehurst Circular – 7 miles
Three weeks have passed from our last walk, and since then, Autumn has arrived in truth. Acorns, conkers and chestnuts are littering the ground as colourful leaves begin to flutter down to join them. Temperatures have also cooled, however they are still warm and, on this day, a little sticky, despite the darker skies.Continue reading “Ticehurst Circular – 7 miles”
Cranbrook to Benenden Circular – 9.5 miles
Ding-ding, round three! Yes, with Summer’s passing and Autumn’s arrival, we officially commence our third year of blogging our walks. On a side note, I did some rough calculations the other day. We are currently sitting at seventy-seven walks recorded; however I reckon that we had already gone on thirty to forty-ish walksContinue reading “Cranbrook to Benenden Circular – 9.5 miles”
Chiddingstone Causeway Circular (First Attempt!) – 2.7 miles
The signs were there. Storm Bert blowing through. Having to change to a different walk thanks to the National Trust’s aversion to a bit of wind. Smashing my wing mirror after picking up our lunch. Even an additional stone hitting the window as we approached the day’s start point of Chiddingstone Causeway. ThanksContinue reading “Chiddingstone Causeway Circular (First Attempt!) – 2.7 miles”
Farmcote Circular (Cotswolds Pt.2) – 7.5 miles
Two days later and we had reached the end of our holiday. With heavy hearts and a final wave, we bid fair well to our AirBnB and the calves in the field next door, before jumping into the packed car. But, we weren’t quite done yet, and had one last adventure left up ourContinue reading “Farmcote Circular (Cotswolds Pt.2) – 7.5 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”
