Six years ago, I drove over to Lamberhurst, for the first time. I met Beth at her little studio flat, in Crown House at the bottom of School Hill. On that sunny day, we went for a walk around the Scotney Castle estate. It was a perfect day. So perfect, in fact, thatContinue reading “Lamberhurst Circular – 5.3 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”
Matfield Circular – 7.1 miles
A milestone has been achieved; following the undertaking of this walk, Beth and I have officially blogged one-hundred walks! In that time, we have walked together over seven-hundred miles, shared thousands of perfect countryside moments meant just for us, and watched the seasons come and go and come and go, and come and goContinue reading “Matfield Circular – 7.1 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”
Oldbury Hill Circular – 5.5 miles
It had been three whole weeks since our last venture out into the countryside, and the change in that time was noticeable. Gone were most of the autumnal colours, and the first real mud had arrived in place. However, as we pulled up at Ightham Mote, we were pleased to be outside, beneath aContinue reading “Oldbury Hill Circular – 5.5 miles”
Luddesdown Circular – 6.2 miles
The day was somewhat grey and we knew that there was more than a chance of rain due to arrive in the middle of the afternoon. However, it had been a whole three weeks since our last walk, and Beth was itching to get her boots on. We decided to go for it, andContinue reading “Luddesdown Circular – 6.2 miles”
Yalding to Teston Circular – 7.5 miles
For this week’s walk, we tried something a little different. Due to weekend commitments, we would not be able to complete our usual Sunday walk. So, we decided that, after work on Friday, we would embark on our first evening walk! For this new venture, we decided to go for the most local routeContinue reading “Yalding to Teston Circular – 7.5 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”
Chiddingstone Causeway Circular (Attempt 2) – 4.3 miles
Despite a grey and windy start, the afternoon looked promising as we neared the day’s starting point. We had decided to make our second attempt at this particular route thanks to Guinea Pig related duties having pulled us in that general direction, after our first attempt was washed out back in November. We arrived atContinue reading “Chiddingstone Causeway Circular (Attempt 2) – 4.3 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”
