Ciao e bentornati in Italia per la seconda parte della nostra avventura nelle Dolomiti! For this half of the trip, we had based ourselves in Santa Maddalena in Val di Funes. Once again, thanks to Beth leaving me unsupervised to pick the accommodation, we were based on the outskirts of the village, aContinue reading “Puez-Odel Nature Park, Adolf Munkel Trail – 5.5 miles”

Dobbiaco to Hünnerspiel – 9.6 miles
Buongiorno, ciao, salve! Vi scriviamo dal Nord Italia, più precisamente dalle splendide Dolomiti, nelle Alpi. È un’area molto vasta da visitare in una sola settimana, quindi abbiamo deciso di soggiornare in due zone diverse: prima, la cittadina di Dobbiaco, in Val Pusteria, appena a sud del confine austriaco. Il primo giorno è stato dedicatoContinue reading “Dobbiaco to Hünnerspiel – 9.6 miles”
Mark Cross Circular – 8 miles
The herd stampeded across the meadow. There were more than we had thought; many more. And all the while, the great, grey matriarch stared fixedly at us. She knew exactly where we were and had no intention of letting two travellers slip away. We had a plan. I just prayed that it was goingContinue reading “Mark Cross Circular – 8 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”
Hartfield Circular – 6.9 miles
Pancakes, bacon and golden syrup made up the opening act for this Sunday, as another bright spring day loomed. Since last week, I also made a decision. As you know by now, I have not been getting on so well with my new pair of EXTREME walking boots, which have been rubbing at myContinue reading “Hartfield Circular – 6.9 miles”
Ightham Mote to Knole Park Circular – 8.5 miles
Finally, the morning window showed blue skies and sunshine. Finally, the smell of sunscreen lingered around us. Finally, my shorts have returned. Yes, after what has seemed like an unusually long time, the fine weather does appear to once again be upon us! And the timing couldn’t be better, as we continue our stringContinue reading “Ightham Mote to Knole Park Circular – 8.5 miles”
Cowden Circular – 5.4 miles
A slight change of order to things today, as we return to one of our favourites. Due to the changeable weather across the day, we decided to begin at what is usually the halfway point on this route, The Rock Inn. We arrived for midday amongst some drizzle, and stopped in for a lunchContinue reading “Cowden Circular – 5.4 miles”
Rolvenden to Tenterden Circular -7.8 miles
April has arrived, and to kick off mid-spring, we returned to another of our favourites. We parked up and set off from Rolvenden at just gone eleven o’clock into a pleasant but changeable day. When the sun was shining, the air was hot, but a wind blustered for most of the day, pushing throughContinue reading “Rolvenden to Tenterden Circular -7.8 miles”
The Devil’s Leap – 6 miles
Having spent our last few adventures filling in the gaps, today we returned to one of our favourites, The Devil’s Leap, which we last did a couple of years ago. We also made sure to be on the route in good time, knowing that the best of the day was earlier on. So, withContinue reading “The Devil’s Leap – 6 miles”
Northiam Circular – 7.9 miles
The day was grey and abnormally blustery. It was also a Tuesday. So what, you may be asking, were we doing on a windy Tuesday morning, undertaking our normal Sunday activity? Well, there was one very simple and good answer; it was my Birthday! Continuing on from our recent trend of “filling in theContinue reading “Northiam Circular – 7.9 miles”
