The day looked promising, with blue skies and sunshine visible out of the bedroom window. By the time we arrived at the start point of Ticehurst, a little cloud had come over; however, conditions were still a lot finer than most days recently. This route was chosen after looking at a map of whereContinue reading “Stonegate Circular – 8.1 miles”

Cranbrook to Sissinghurst Circular – 10 miles
We awoke to a heavily misty morning out the window. This might not have been weather we had been hoping for, but you know what? It’s still March, which in my mind means one thing: Spring! Following what has been a very damp and, for us, low-mileage winter, the prospect of our favouriteContinue reading “Cranbrook to Sissinghurst Circular – 10 miles”
Mürren to Grütschalp – 3.5 Miles
Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland Switzerland has always been a special place to Beth. Throughout her child, she and her family would go there on holiday ever year, to the Jungfrau Region in the alps. Over the years, they gathered many special memories, and it very naturally became very meaningful to them all. It was hereContinue reading “Mürren to Grütschalp – 3.5 Miles”
Avebury Circular – 5 miles
A Rainy Day in Cathallo Picture the scene. It’s Saturday evening, just gone seven o’clock. It’s dark, and we have just arrived at the Marlborough Premier Inn after a two-hour drive. There, standing in the glow of the entrance, waits my mother. We open the boot, and a small bit of fabric from aContinue reading “Avebury Circular – 5 miles”
Groombridge Circular – 8.2 miles
With rain on the horizon, this was perhaps not a day we would usually choose to go for a walk. However, it had been three weeks since our trip to Hawkhurst and we were both feeling the need to put some miles under our boots. We grabbed our coats and went for it. SinceContinue reading “Groombridge Circular – 8.2 miles”
Hawkhurst to Bedgebury Circular – 6.2 miles
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”
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”
Buckhurst Circular – 5.5 miles
Another adventure dawns, and we found ourselves arriving at Wadhurst Station around quarter past eleven on a bright autumnal day. On the way over we had overtaken a cyclist, who had then overtaken us as we got lunch from the Co-op. We had then overtaken him again, only for him to go past usContinue reading “Buckhurst Circular – 5.5 miles”
Ashdown Forest Circular – 6 miles
This weekend we returned to a walk we first completed a couple of years ago, around the ever-popular Ashdown Forest. It wasn’t a bad route, however that attempt had been impacted slightly by both tricky-to-follow instructions and map, as well as a lunch booking waiting for us at the other end. This time, thereContinue reading “Ashdown Forest Circular – 6 miles”
