Another weekend arrived, and so onto another new route. Whilst I am calling this one the Cousley Wood Circular, in reality it orbits right around Wadhurst. However, we already have a couple labelled as such, so Cousley Wood it is. A place we have driven through a hundred times but never actually stopped in,Continue reading “Cousley Wood Circular – 10.8 miles”

Ashdown Circular – 9.5 miles
For this week’s adventure, we decided to visit Winnie the Pooh country. This meant starting from the free car park in Hartfield, only one month after our most recent visit. We set off into a changeable day, ranging from warm and sunny to overcast with a chilly breeze, at about half past eleven. WeContinue reading “Ashdown Circular – 9.5 miles”
Mark Cross Circular – 8.9 miles
I don’t know why we hadn’t done this route before. It’s been available to us for years, on the same website as several of our regular walks. It’s through our favourite area and is a great distance, but for some reason, we had always shied away from it. Not matter, whatever the reason was,Continue reading “Mark Cross Circular – 8.9 miles”
Mountfield Circular – 7.3 miles
With mid-spring in full swing, Sunday morning came around to present us with our next adventure. This time we would be heading toward the southern end of the Weald, for another new route heading out of the small village of Mountfield. We set off from the village hall car park, which presented us withContinue reading “Mountfield Circular – 7.3 miles”
Wadhurst Park – 6 miles
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”
