For this week’s walk, we tried something a little different. Due to weekend commitments, we would not be able to complete our usual Sunday walk. So, we decided that, after work on Friday, we would embark on our first evening walk! For this new venture, we decided to go for the most local routeContinue reading “Yalding to Teston Circular – 7.5 miles”

Benenden to Rolvenden Circular – 7.5 miles
Summer adventure number three, and we return to one that we first walked back in late 2023. On the previous occasion, the experience was slightly tainted by me thinking I had lost my watch on the way around (in reality, I had left it at home). We carefully noted at the start that, byContinue reading “Benenden to Rolvenden Circular – 7.5 miles”
Cousley Wood Circular – 10.8 miles
Another weekend arrived, and so onto another new route. Whilst I am calling this one the Cousley Wood Circular, in reality it orbits right around Wadhurst. However, we already have a couple labelled as such, so Cousley Wood it is. A place we have driven through a hundred times but never actually stopped in,Continue reading “Cousley Wood Circular – 10.8 miles”
Doleham to Brede Circular – 6.2 miles
Then suddenly, it was summer again! The hottest season is once again upon us, which of course comes with its own challenges, but always offers some fantastic walking – I have a feeling that this one is going to be life changing. To kick things of, we went for a wonderful newContinue reading “Doleham to Brede Circular – 6.2 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”
Coxheath to Lenham – 11.8 miles
The task: walk from Coxheath to Lenham (11.8 Miles) in four and a half hours. The day: very hot. The guide: Rowan. Yours truly: hungover. What could possibly go wrong? The occasion was to celebrate our guide’s 25th birthday with a summers walk along the Greensand Way from his house to one ofContinue reading “Coxheath to Lenham – 11.8 miles”
