I am sitting on the ground. We’ve just visited the Rainforest Café at Disneyland Paris, which seemed different somehow from how I remembered it. Wilbur, the recently rescued Golden Guernsey kid, only a few months old, runs over to play. He leaps on my lap as he always does and goes all floppy forContinue reading “Groombridge Circular – 9.6 miles”

Puez-Odel Nature Park, Adolf Munkel Trail – 5.5 miles
Ciao e bentornati in Italia per la seconda parte della nostra avventura nelle Dolomiti! For this half of the trip, we had based ourselves in Santa Maddalena in Val di Funes. Once again, thanks to Beth leaving me unsupervised to pick the accommodation, we were based on the outskirts of the village, aContinue reading “Puez-Odel Nature Park, Adolf Munkel Trail – 5.5 miles”
Dobbiaco to Hünnerspiel – 9.6 miles
Buongiorno, ciao, salve! Vi scriviamo dal Nord Italia, più precisamente dalle splendide Dolomiti, nelle Alpi. È un’area molto vasta da visitare in una sola settimana, quindi abbiamo deciso di soggiornare in due zone diverse: prima, la cittadina di Dobbiaco, in Val Pusteria, appena a sud del confine austriaco. Il primo giorno è stato dedicatoContinue reading “Dobbiaco to Hünnerspiel – 9.6 miles”
Penshurst Circular – 9.3 miles
It has been two weeks since our Mark Cross extravaganza (by the way, I did not catch Orf in the end), and much has changed. We have a major fence controversy on our hands with our new neighbours and have been left feeling rather uncomfortable in our own home. But we have a plan,Continue reading “Penshurst Circular – 9.3 miles”
Avebury Circular – 5 miles
A Rainy Day in Cathallo Picture the scene. It’s Saturday evening, just gone seven o’clock. It’s dark, and we have just arrived at the Marlborough Premier Inn after a two-hour drive. There, standing in the glow of the entrance, waits my mother. We open the boot, and a small bit of fabric from aContinue reading “Avebury Circular – 5 miles”
Hawkhurst to Bedgebury Circular – 6.2 miles
A new year and a new Sunday rolled around – huzzah! With them too has come a bad back for Beth, who bravely took some painkillers before we stepped out the door toward our first venture out into 2026. The early January day came with an expected hard frost, with snow from theContinue reading “Hawkhurst to Bedgebury Circular – 6.2 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”
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”
