With rain on the horizon, this was perhaps not a day we would usually choose to go for a walk. However, it had been three weeks since our trip to Hawkhurst and we were both feeling the need to put some miles under our boots. We grabbed our coats and went for it. SinceContinue reading “Groombridge Circular – 8.2 miles”

Hawkhurst to Bedgebury Circular – 6.2 miles
A new year and a new Sunday rolled around – huzzah! With them too has come a bad back for Beth, who bravely took some painkillers before we stepped out the door toward our first venture out into 2026. The early January day came with an expected hard frost, with snow from theContinue reading “Hawkhurst to Bedgebury Circular – 6.2 miles”
Old Pembury Circular – 6.9 miles
Winter arrived with sufficient muddiness, as did what will most likely be our only December walk. On this occasion we re-visited the Old Pembury circular, previously noted for having a friendly sheep half-way along, and also being the first walk Beth took her camera on. We parked outside the church at half past elevenContinue reading “Old Pembury Circular – 6.9 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”
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”
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”
Sissinghurst to Frittenden Circular – 5.4 miles
For our final winter walk of the year, we went for one we already have a certain amount of history with, a five-and-a-half-mile circular from Sissinghurst Castle. On paper, the route is relatively short and sweet, which indeed it is, however for some reason, we have never found it simple. This is specifically dueContinue reading “Sissinghurst to Frittenden Circular – 5.4 miles”
Holt to Baconsthorpe Circular (Norfolk) – 8.5 miles
Welcome to the first ever Pathfinder ON TOUR! For this edition, we travelled north to explore the county of Norfolk, where we stayed close to the North Coast for a few nights. Not really knowing the area all that well, we were going in a little blind when choosing a route. However, BethContinue reading “Holt to Baconsthorpe Circular (Norfolk) – 8.5 miles”
