It was a fine, blue skyed, bright winter’s day, as we put on our boots to undertake a new route for our Sunday adventure. We set off late, at about quarter past midday, and the walk began from Eridge Sation. We have started routes from stations on several occasions now, but this one wasContinue reading “Eridge Circular – 5.5 miles”

Saxonbury Hill Circular – 7 miles
Today we returned to a route we had done once before, and one we had intentionally saved for winter. This was due to the amount of road walking this particular route included (a significant amount) and thought that perhaps whilst the paths were at their muddiest would be a good opportunity to go forContinue reading “Saxonbury Hill Circular – 7 miles”
Ticehurst Circular – 6 miles
Here we are, 2025; a big year for us! And whilst we have a lot on the horizon to look forward to, we will be sure to still get the miles beneath our boots. We opened the year’s account one particularly frosty morning, with a six-mile route from Ticehurst to Bewl Water, and backContinue reading “Ticehurst Circular – 6 miles”
Kipling Country Circular – 5 miles
The Winter season is upon us! We begin with a new route, starting from the free car park along Burwash High Street in East Sussex. The original route calls for a clockwise direction, however thanks to certain lunch plans, we had decided to go against the grain. We set off just before middayContinue reading “Kipling Country Circular – 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”
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”
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”
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”
Bodiam Castle Circular – 5 miles
Before we start, I would like to talk about spring, and why it is our favourite of all the seasons. There are of course the obvious reasons, which we have spent the past few weeks gushing over. The arrival of lambs in our fields, the glow of the bluebells amongst the woodland floor, theContinue reading “Bodiam Castle Circular – 5 miles”
Bewl Water – 12.5 miles
It’s fair to say that we are generally fair-weather walkers. Given that we live more-or-less within an hour of 99% of our walks, we’re not shy of hunkering down on the less pleasant days and letting the rains pass before venturing out the following week. Why then, did we find ourselves parking up atContinue reading “Bewl Water – 12.5 miles”
