Well well well, look at that, back in the South Downs National Park! And for once, not due to a Goodwood-related event. This time, we would be returning to a site we had visited a few years previously, on which occasion the wind was so strong that we bravely turned around and went forContinue reading “Birling Gap Circular – 7.9 miles”

Salehurst Circular – 7.5 miles
Oh, High Weald, how good it feels to finally be back on your footpaths. Almost a month had passed since we last trod the trails of this AONB, and it came as something of a relieving return to normality to be there once again. Not that it was completely unchanged. Late summer suddenly feltContinue reading “Salehurst Circular – 7.5 miles”
Duncton Hill Circular – 7.4 Miles
And so after what has been a rather adventurous couple of weeks, we finally found our boots on more familiar soil. Yet still not overly-familiar, however. For this Sunday’s adventure, we undertook our third walk within the South Downs National Park. As per all other ventures in this direction, this was thanks to anContinue reading “Duncton Hill Circular – 7.4 Miles”
Lamberhurst to Goudhurst Circular – 9 miles
WE GOT MARRIED! After all the planning and practicing and gathering of wool and moss, the day has finally been and gone. Together, we completed our shortest but most important of walks; the one up the aisle. We were married just outside of Ticehurst, overlooking the High Weald on a bright and sunnyContinue reading “Lamberhurst to Goudhurst Circular – 9 miles”
Bodiam Circular – 5 miles
It’s B-Day! Yes, one of our favourite days of the year came around again, and the clouds parted to reveal the blueness beyond as we arrived at Bodiam Castle, at about ten o’clock. We departed and made our way across the Rother and quickly onto the footpath. We normally do this walk aContinue reading “Bodiam Circular – 5 miles”
Burwash Circular – 5.5 miles
For today’s adventure we began in the familiar village of Burwash, setting off from the free car park at about quarter past eleven. The day was significantly greyer than recent weeks, and cooler too, although as we got going the humidity soon made us sticky. We made our way out of Burwash downContinue reading “Burwash Circular – 5.5 miles”
Groombridge Circular – 9.7 miles
First thing to note, is that this was a very hot day indeed! As such, we did our best to get out onto the route as early as possible to avoid the worst of the heat, particularly given that we would be doing a longer route. After tasty pancakes we headed out andContinue reading “Groombridge Circular – 9.7 miles”
Yalding to Teston Circular – 7.5 miles
For this week’s walk, we tried something a little different. Due to weekend commitments, we would not be able to complete our usual Sunday walk. So, we decided that, after work on Friday, we would embark on our first evening walk! For this new venture, we decided to go for the most local routeContinue reading “Yalding to Teston Circular – 7.5 miles”
Benenden to Rolvenden Circular – 7.5 miles
Summer adventure number three, and we return to one that we first walked back in late 2023. On the previous occasion, the experience was slightly tainted by me thinking I had lost my watch on the way around (in reality, I had left it at home). We carefully noted at the start that, byContinue reading “Benenden to Rolvenden Circular – 7.5 miles”
Cousley Wood Circular – 10.8 miles
Another weekend arrived, and so onto another new route. Whilst I am calling this one the Cousley Wood Circular, in reality it orbits right around Wadhurst. However, we already have a couple labelled as such, so Cousley Wood it is. A place we have driven through a hundred times but never actually stopped in,Continue reading “Cousley Wood Circular – 10.8 miles”
