Back in the High Weald today, although still a little further afield than our usual patch. The day’s adventure would take us a little over an hour away from home, past the Ashdown Forest to the village of Horsted Keynes, for another new route. The day was warm, bright and promising, and weContinue reading “Horsted Keynes – 7.2 miles”

Framlingham Circular (Suffolk) – 7.2 miles
For our next adventure, we headed off for a mini-holiday to the exotic destination of Suffolk. Across the first two days, we visited Sutton Hoo and learned about Anglo Saxons, as well as going on the Adnams brewery tour and enjoyed dippy eggs for breakfast. Whilst there we stayed at a magical little placeContinue reading “Framlingham Circular (Suffolk) – 7.2 miles”
Wadhurst Circular – 6.8 miles
Spring has turned slightly more seasonal in the last few days, in as much as the clear blue skies have turned a little greyer, with a spattering of rain putting an end to the unusually dry and hot conditions for early spring. There was also a very real promise of more rain on theContinue reading “Wadhurst Circular – 6.8 miles”
Ightham Mote to Dunks Green Circular – 7.8 miles
A week on from our car-based disaster and I’m pleased to say my car is back on the road and ready for more adventures! This week’s walk will take us from regular start point Ightham Mote out to Dunk’s Green and back again, and is particularly exciting as it is a walk craftedContinue reading “Ightham Mote to Dunks Green Circular – 7.8 miles”
Hadlow Down Circular – 6.5 miles
A thing has happened! With a beautiful warm day painted outside our bedroom window, I took the easy decision to not only smear myself in suncream’s familiar happy smell, but also don my shorts, a whole month earlier than last year. Aww yeah. Was this the best day ever? Only time wouldContinue reading “Hadlow Down Circular – 6.5 miles”
Sissinghurst Circular – 10 miles
Spring is upon us! We made it through the cold and the mud, and have now returned to my favourite season. Weeks of flowers, lambs and blue skies lay ahead, and we couldn’t wait to get stuck in. For our first spring outing, we decided to go for a longer route, startingContinue reading “Sissinghurst Circular – 10 miles”
Brenchley Circular – 7.7 miles
For the final winter walk of the season, we chose a (mostly) new route, starting from the familiar Matfield green, right on the northern edge of the High Weald. However, as we already have an established route out of the village, we will be referring to this as the ‘Brenchley circular’ – the otherContinue reading “Brenchley Circular – 7.7 miles”
Crowborough Circular – 8.5 miles
It’s fair to say that the starting point for the day’s adventure, Crowborough Station, was very possibly our least desirable to date. The town is much, much larger than most of the villages we base our walks around, and came with all of the wonders of the modern world; smashed glass, industrial estates andContinue reading “Crowborough Circular – 8.5 miles”
Eridge Circular – 5.5 miles
It was a fine, blue skyed, bright winter’s day, as we put on our boots to undertake a new route for our Sunday adventure. We set off late, at about quarter past midday, and the walk began from Eridge Sation. We have started routes from stations on several occasions now, but this one wasContinue reading “Eridge Circular – 5.5 miles”
Saxonbury Hill Circular – 7 miles
Today we returned to a route we had done once before, and one we had intentionally saved for winter. This was due to the amount of road walking this particular route included (a significant amount) and thought that perhaps whilst the paths were at their muddiest would be a good opportunity to go forContinue reading “Saxonbury Hill Circular – 7 miles”
