The signs were there. Storm Bert blowing through. Having to change to a different walk thanks to the National Trust’s aversion to a bit of wind. Smashing my wing mirror after picking up our lunch. Even an additional stone hitting the window as we approached the day’s start point of Chiddingstone Causeway. ThanksContinue reading “Chiddingstone Causeway Circular (First Attempt!) – 2.7 miles”

Farmcote Circular (Cotswolds Pt.2) – 7.5 miles
Two days later and we had reached the end of our holiday. With heavy hearts and a final wave, we bid fair well to our AirBnB and the calves in the field next door, before jumping into the packed car. But, we weren’t quite done yet, and had one last adventure left up ourContinue reading “Farmcote Circular (Cotswolds Pt.2) – 7.5 miles”
Bledington Circular (Cotswolds Pt.1) – 9 miles
Monday morning arrived on our autumnal Cotswolds adventure, the day forecast to be the brightest of our stay. With that in mind, we put on our boots and set off to explore some all-new footpaths. We left the starting point of Kingham Station into a cool day and made our way down the roadContinue reading “Bledington Circular (Cotswolds Pt.1) – 9 miles”
Hadlow Circular – 6.6 miles
Clear skies and unseasonably warm temperatures awaited us for our latest adventure, as we set off from the centre of Hadlow at around quarter to ten into what promised to be a perfect autumnal morning. We had chosen ‘The Hadlow Hop Tour’, which claimed to be about eight miles, although when we mapped itContinue reading “Hadlow Circular – 6.6 miles”
Camer Park and Luddesdown Circular – 6.2 miles
October is upon us and autumn is well and truly in full swing. We set off unusually early, leaving the starting point of Camer Country Park car-park near Meopham on the North Downs just gone half past nine, into a seasonal, sub-ten-degree morning. For the start of the day, including a portion of theContinue reading “Camer Park and Luddesdown Circular – 6.2 miles”
Pluckley Circular – 7.3 miles
Without even the sun to at least present the illusion of the long summer days disappearing in the rearview, today’s overcast and blustery walk definitely presented a notable change in conditions – I even left the house wearing trousers for the first time since April. We headed out in the morning to undertake aContinue reading “Pluckley Circular – 7.3 miles”
Hucking Circular – 8.8 miles
For the first time in months, we woke up in the morning unsure if today’s weather was walk-appropriate, a sure sign of the changing times. With thunder and lightning overnight and a grey damp world outside the window, we checked the forecast. With a sense of adventure from Beth with which I was quiteContinue reading “Hucking Circular – 8.8 miles”
Robertsbridge Circular – 5 miles
We’re back! Here we go for round two, our second year of blogging, excited to do it all over again. What adventures will the footpaths lead us on across the coming seasons? Time will tell. We kicked off our sophomore year with a nice and easy fiver-miler heading out of Robertsbridge deepContinue reading “Robertsbridge Circular – 5 miles”
Horsmonden to Goudhurst Circular – 8.5 miles
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”
