Mid-spring is upon us once more, and we arrived at the start of another adventure. For today’s walk, we would be undertaking a new route around Wadhurst Park, and the start of this one was unusual. Normally we park up in a car park or along the street in some little village. However, theContinue reading “Wadhurst Park – 6 miles”

Horsted Keynes – 7.2 miles
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
Charlton Circular – 5.3 miles
A second, somewhat unexpected adventure to the South Downs National Park for this one, for which we were up and on the road just gone 7am, a full day’s schedule ahead of us. We arrived at our starting point for the day’s walk, parking up just outside The Fox Goes Free pub in theContinue reading “Charlton Circular – 5.3 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”
