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”
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”
Doleham to Brede Circular – 6.2 miles
Then suddenly, it was summer again! The hottest season is once again upon us, which of course comes with its own challenges, but always offers some fantastic walking – I have a feeling that this one is going to be life changing. To kick things of, we went for a wonderful newContinue reading “Doleham to Brede Circular – 6.2 miles”
Sandhurst Cross Circular – 7 miles
Bleary eyes woke to an overcast sky cast upon an unsuspecting Thursday morning. However, this was no ordinary Thursday – this was an adventure day. Due to the upcoming requirement of my presence in the Costa del Sol in Spain this Sunday, Beth and I both took a day off from work to enjoyContinue reading “Sandhurst Cross Circular – 7 miles”
Matfield Circular – 7.1 miles
For today’s adventure we returned to one of our old favourites, the Matfield circular. This would be our fourth (we think) lap of this particular route, having been one of the very first we did together, and this may have been the best one yet! As far as we could recall, this would beContinue reading “Matfield Circular – 7.1 miles”
Ashdown Circular – 9.5 miles
For this week’s adventure, we decided to visit Winnie the Pooh country. This meant starting from the free car park in Hartfield, only one month after our most recent visit. We set off into a changeable day, ranging from warm and sunny to overcast with a chilly breeze, at about half past eleven. WeContinue reading “Ashdown Circular – 9.5 miles”
Mark Cross Circular – 8.9 miles
I don’t know why we hadn’t done this route before. It’s been available to us for years, on the same website as several of our regular walks. It’s through our favourite area and is a great distance, but for some reason, we had always shied away from it. Not matter, whatever the reason was,Continue reading “Mark Cross Circular – 8.9 miles”
