Here we are, another summer coming to an end. It’s been a busy one and despite the damp start, one we have certainly made the most of. To round it off in a somewhat poetic way, today we are heading over to Horsmonden, the location of our very first summer walk all those weeksContinue reading “Horsmonden to Goudhurst Circular – 8.5 miles”

Charlton Circular – 5.3 miles
A second, somewhat unexpected adventure to the South Downs National Park for this one, for which we were up and on the road just gone 7am, a full day’s schedule ahead of us. We arrived at our starting point for the day’s walk, parking up just outside The Fox Goes Free pub in theContinue reading “Charlton Circular – 5.3 miles”
Cranbrook to Benenden Circular – 9.5 miles
We woke to a blue sky out the window, light pouring in from a day that promised to reach soaring temperatures. After a quick spicy-fried egg bagel for breakfast, we pegged the washing out before leaving, and already we could feel the heat of the day creeping in…were we making a mistake? WeContinue reading “Cranbrook to Benenden Circular – 9.5 miles”
Lamberhurst to Scotney Castle Loop – 5.9 miles
This simple route is one we have done several times and holds a special place in our hearts. Four years ago on a fine summer’s day, only a week after we started going out, we went for a walk around Scotney Castle and ended up in The Chequers pub for a drink and aContinue reading “Lamberhurst to Scotney Castle Loop – 5.9 miles”
Bignor Hill to Amberley Circular – 11.5 miles
Time for another of our further-afield adventures, this time really pushing the envelope, by delving all the way into West Sussex – a whole county further along than normal. The occasion occurred because the following day we were due to be going to the Goodwood Festival of Speed; my 30th birthday present from Beth. AsContinue reading “Bignor Hill to Amberley Circular – 11.5 miles”
Matfield Circular – 7.1 miles
Today we would be enjoying a walk that we were familiar with and had become fond of right from our very first lap, a little over three years ago. This seven-mile loop was one of the first we went on when we started walking semi-regularly on our weekends and was possibly the very firstContinue reading “Matfield Circular – 7.1 miles”
Hawkhurst to Bedgebury Circular – 7 miles
Returning to a more familiar walk than recent weeks, on this particularly overcast, muggy Sunday, we chose to tackle a walk we had done before, starting from the village green on Hawkhurst’s ‘moor side’, swinging out and around to the edges of the Bedgebury Forest. This was, however, one of the routes whose instructionsContinue reading “Hawkhurst to Bedgebury Circular – 7 miles”
Holmsley to Burley (New Forest) – 9.2 miles
Once again, we find ourselves outside of our usual stomping ground for another adventure on tour, this time in the peace and comfort of one of my very favourite places in the world – The New Forest. I have been visiting these trees for as long as I can remember, and it is aContinue reading “Holmsley to Burley (New Forest) – 9.2 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”
Cowden circular – 5.4 miles
Here we go again for another spring adventure, this time heading a little south from last week. Beginning at Cowden station we turned left up the road into a cool, slightly overcast day. The start of the walk is a short sharp wake-up call to the leg muscles, before turning right onto leveller ground. Continue reading “Cowden circular – 5.4 miles”
