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”
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”
Staplecross Circular – 9 miles
For our final spring adventure, we had saved one of our very favourite walks, starting from a woodland car park, just outside the small village of Cripps Corner. We intentionally set off later than normal, aiming to catch the best of the day’s weather, so crossed the road and onto a woodland rise toContinue reading “Staplecross Circular – 9 miles”
Penshurst Circular – 9.3 miles
Back in the South East and a welcome return to normal service this week – although this route was a similar length to Ben Nevis, it was significantly flatter, so we very much hoped it would be easy in comparison. As we now head into what is undeniably late spring, today’s walk suddenly broughtContinue reading “Penshurst Circular – 9.3 miles”
Ben Nevis (Scotland) – 10 miles
For months, we joked about the prospect of climbing up to Britain’s highest peak. For weeks, we scoffed at the thought of ourselves navigating the mountain passes as we puffed through the pretty fields of East Sussex. Even days before, it remained a mere blot on the distant horizon, barely seeming real. And yet,Continue reading “Ben Nevis (Scotland) – 10 miles”
Bodiam Castle Circular – 5 miles
Before we start, I would like to talk about spring, and why it is our favourite of all the seasons. There are of course the obvious reasons, which we have spent the past few weeks gushing over. The arrival of lambs in our fields, the glow of the bluebells amongst the woodland floor, theContinue reading “Bodiam Castle Circular – 5 miles”
