Then suddenly here we are, at the end of the summer. For our last adventure of the season, we had saved a new route found on the OS app. Beginning in Brede and heading to Staplecross and back (to places we have greatly enjoyed walking previously), this was on paper the perfect walk toContinue reading “Brede Circular – 10.7 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”
Mark Cross Circular – 8.9 miles
I don’t know why we hadn’t done this route before. It’s been available to us for years, on the same website as several of our regular walks. It’s through our favourite area and is a great distance, but for some reason, we had always shied away from it. Not matter, whatever the reason was,Continue reading “Mark Cross Circular – 8.9 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”
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”
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”
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”
Staplecross Circular – 9 miles
For our final spring adventure, we had saved one of our very favourite walks, starting from a woodland car park, just outside the small village of Cripps Corner. We intentionally set off later than normal, aiming to catch the best of the day’s weather, so crossed the road and onto a woodland rise toContinue reading “Staplecross Circular – 9 miles”
