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”
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”
Birling Gap Circular – 7.9 miles
Well well well, look at that, back in the South Downs National Park! And for once, not due to a Goodwood-related event. This time, we would be returning to a site we had visited a few years previously, on which occasion the wind was so strong that we bravely turned around and went forContinue reading “Birling Gap Circular – 7.9 miles”
Salehurst Circular – 7.5 miles
Oh, High Weald, how good it feels to finally be back on your footpaths. Almost a month had passed since we last trod the trails of this AONB, and it came as something of a relieving return to normality to be there once again. Not that it was completely unchanged. Late summer suddenly feltContinue reading “Salehurst Circular – 7.5 miles”
Duncton Hill Circular – 7.4 Miles
And so after what has been a rather adventurous couple of weeks, we finally found our boots on more familiar soil. Yet still not overly-familiar, however. For this Sunday’s adventure, we undertook our third walk within the South Downs National Park. As per all other ventures in this direction, this was thanks to anContinue reading “Duncton Hill Circular – 7.4 Miles”
Bodiam Circular – 5 miles
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”
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”
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”
Framlingham Circular (Suffolk) – 7.2 miles
For our next adventure, we headed off for a mini-holiday to the exotic destination of Suffolk. Across the first two days, we visited Sutton Hoo and learned about Anglo Saxons, as well as going on the Adnams brewery tour and enjoyed dippy eggs for breakfast. Whilst there we stayed at a magical little placeContinue reading “Framlingham Circular (Suffolk) – 7.2 miles”
