The day looked promising, with blue skies and sunshine visible out of the bedroom window. By the time we arrived at the start point of Ticehurst, a little cloud had come over; however, conditions were still a lot finer than most days recently. This route was chosen after looking at a map of whereContinue reading “Stonegate Circular – 8.1 miles”

Cranbrook to Sissinghurst Circular – 10 miles
We awoke to a heavily misty morning out the window. This might not have been weather we had been hoping for, but you know what? It’s still March, which in my mind means one thing: Spring! Following what has been a very damp and, for us, low-mileage winter, the prospect of our favouriteContinue reading “Cranbrook to Sissinghurst Circular – 10 miles”
Groombridge Circular – 8.2 miles
With rain on the horizon, this was perhaps not a day we would usually choose to go for a walk. However, it had been three weeks since our trip to Hawkhurst and we were both feeling the need to put some miles under our boots. We grabbed our coats and went for it. SinceContinue reading “Groombridge Circular – 8.2 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”
Old Pembury Circular – 6.9 miles
Winter arrived with sufficient muddiness, as did what will most likely be our only December walk. On this occasion we re-visited the Old Pembury circular, previously noted for having a friendly sheep half-way along, and also being the first walk Beth took her camera on. We parked outside the church at half past elevenContinue reading “Old Pembury Circular – 6.9 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”
Ashdown Forest Circular – 6 miles
This weekend we returned to a walk we first completed a couple of years ago, around the ever-popular Ashdown Forest. It wasn’t a bad route, however that attempt had been impacted slightly by both tricky-to-follow instructions and map, as well as a lunch booking waiting for us at the other end. This time, thereContinue reading “Ashdown Forest Circular – 6 miles”
Winchelsea Circular – 6.5 miles
For our next autumnal adventure we made a welcome return to one of our very favourite walks, and indeed days out. We parked up at the tiny Winchelsea station and headed off at about a quarter to eleven. The day was bright and would have been almost warm, had it not been for theContinue reading “Winchelsea Circular – 6.5 miles”
Ticehurst Circular – 7 miles
Three weeks have passed from our last walk, and since then, Autumn has arrived in truth. Acorns, conkers and chestnuts are littering the ground as colourful leaves begin to flutter down to join them. Temperatures have also cooled, however they are still warm and, on this day, a little sticky, despite the darker skies.Continue reading “Ticehurst Circular – 7 miles”
Cranbrook to Benenden Circular – 9.5 miles
Ding-ding, round three! Yes, with Summer’s passing and Autumn’s arrival, we officially commence our third year of blogging our walks. On a side note, I did some rough calculations the other day. We are currently sitting at seventy-seven walks recorded; however I reckon that we had already gone on thirty to forty-ish walksContinue reading “Cranbrook to Benenden Circular – 9.5 miles”
