Clear skies and unseasonably warm temperatures awaited us for our latest adventure, as we set off from the centre of Hadlow at around quarter to ten into what promised to be a perfect autumnal morning. We had chosen ‘The Hadlow Hop Tour’, which claimed to be about eight miles, although when we mapped itContinue reading “Hadlow Circular – 6.6 miles”

Camer Park and Luddesdown Circular – 6.2 miles
October is upon us and autumn is well and truly in full swing. We set off unusually early, leaving the starting point of Camer Country Park car-park near Meopham on the North Downs just gone half past nine, into a seasonal, sub-ten-degree morning. For the start of the day, including a portion of theContinue reading “Camer Park and Luddesdown Circular – 6.2 miles”
Pluckley Circular – 7.3 miles
Without even the sun to at least present the illusion of the long summer days disappearing in the rearview, today’s overcast and blustery walk definitely presented a notable change in conditions – I even left the house wearing trousers for the first time since April. We headed out in the morning to undertake aContinue reading “Pluckley Circular – 7.3 miles”
Hucking Circular – 8.8 miles
For the first time in months, we woke up in the morning unsure if today’s weather was walk-appropriate, a sure sign of the changing times. With thunder and lightning overnight and a grey damp world outside the window, we checked the forecast. With a sense of adventure from Beth with which I was quiteContinue reading “Hucking Circular – 8.8 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”
Weardale Circular – 5 miles
For our latest walk we headed a little further west than our normal range, almost across the border into Surrey. We were brought in this direction by the presence of a Christmas market at a National Trust property, Chartwell House, the former home of Churchill, and Beth was pleased to find a nice-looking routeContinue reading “Weardale Circular – 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”
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”
