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”

Holmsley to Burley (New Forest) – 9.2 miles
Once again, we find ourselves outside of our usual stomping ground for another adventure on tour, this time in the peace and comfort of one of my very favourite places in the world – The New Forest.

However, this plan, which had been made days in advance (go us) was disrupted somewhat, when Beth checked theirContinue reading “Rolvenden to Tenterden Circular – 7.8 miles”
The Devil’s Leap – 5.3 miles
A pleasant return to normality this week, after a couple of slightly more unusual adventures. Sunday just gone, we decided to head out to one of our most familiar routes, Etchingham to Devil’s leap circular, a walk we would be completing for the third time (discounting the first attempt, when we got to theContinue reading “The Devil’s Leap – 5.3 miles”
