Pancakes, bacon and golden syrup made up the opening act for this Sunday, as another bright spring day loomed. Since last week, I also made a decision. As you know by now, I have not been getting on so well with my new pair of EXTREME walking boots, which have been rubbing at myContinue reading “Hartfield Circular – 6.9 miles”

Cowden Circular – 5.4 miles
A slight change of order to things today, as we return to one of our favourites. Due to the changeable weather across the day, we decided to begin at what is usually the halfway point on this route, The Rock Inn. We arrived for midday amongst some drizzle, and stopped in for a lunchContinue reading “Cowden Circular – 5.4 miles”
Rolvenden to Tenterden Circular -7.8 miles
April has arrived, and to kick off mid-spring, we returned to another of our favourites. We parked up and set off from Rolvenden at just gone eleven o’clock into a pleasant but changeable day. When the sun was shining, the air was hot, but a wind blustered for most of the day, pushing throughContinue reading “Rolvenden to Tenterden Circular -7.8 miles”
The Devil’s Leap – 6 miles
Having spent our last few adventures filling in the gaps, today we returned to one of our favourites, The Devil’s Leap, which we last did a couple of years ago. We also made sure to be on the route in good time, knowing that the best of the day was earlier on. So, withContinue reading “The Devil’s Leap – 6 miles”
Darwell Circular – 9.4 miles
Today we would be filling in another gap in our map, amongst the countryside to the west of Robertsbridge. This walk was also significant for the debut of our new walking bag, as gifted to us by my Mum and Dad! We set off later than normal, leaving the car park at Darwell WoodContinue reading “Darwell Circular – 9.4 miles”
Cranbrook to Sissinghurst Circular – 10 miles
We awoke to a heavily misty morning out the window. This might not have been weather we had been hoping for, but you know what? It’s still March, which in my mind means one thing: Spring! Following what has been a very damp and, for us, low-mileage winter, the prospect of our favouriteContinue reading “Cranbrook to Sissinghurst Circular – 10 miles”
Groombridge Circular – 8.2 miles
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”
Oldbury Hill Circular – 5.5 miles
It had been three whole weeks since our last venture out into the countryside, and the change in that time was noticeable. Gone were most of the autumnal colours, and the first real mud had arrived in place. However, as we pulled up at Ightham Mote, we were pleased to be outside, beneath aContinue reading “Oldbury Hill Circular – 5.5 miles”
Buckhurst Circular – 5.5 miles
Another adventure dawns, and we found ourselves arriving at Wadhurst Station around quarter past eleven on a bright autumnal day. On the way over we had overtaken a cyclist, who had then overtaken us as we got lunch from the Co-op. We had then overtaken him again, only for him to go past usContinue reading “Buckhurst Circular – 5.5 miles”
