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”

Ticehurst Circular – 6 miles
Here we are, 2025; a big year for us! And whilst we have a lot on the horizon to look forward to, we will be sure to still get the miles beneath our boots. We opened the year’s account one particularly frosty morning, with a six-mile route from Ticehurst to Bewl Water, and backContinue reading “Ticehurst Circular – 6 miles”
Kipling Country Circular – 5 miles
The Winter season is upon us! We begin with a new route, starting from the free car park along Burwash High Street in East Sussex. The original route calls for a clockwise direction, however thanks to certain lunch plans, we had decided to go against the grain. We set off just before middayContinue reading “Kipling Country Circular – 5 miles”
Chiddingstone Causeway Circular (First Attempt!) – 2.7 miles
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”
Battle Circular – 4.5 miles
As we enter November, we finally returned to the High Weald for the first time in several weeks, this time heading to its southern end, the town of Battle. We also sent off much later than we have been recently, leaving the train station car park at twenty to twelve. This was sort ofContinue reading “Battle Circular – 4.5 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”
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”
