This weekend we returned to a walk we first completed a couple of years ago, around the ever-popular Ashdown Forest. It wasn’t a bad route, however that attempt had been impacted slightly by both tricky-to-follow instructions and map, as well as a lunch booking waiting for us at the other end. This time, thereContinue reading “Ashdown Forest Circular – 6 miles”

Brede Circular – 10.7 miles
Then suddenly here we are, at the end of the summer. For our last adventure of the season, we had saved a new route found on the OS app. Beginning in Brede and heading to Staplecross and back (to places we have greatly enjoyed walking previously), this was on paper the perfect walk toContinue reading “Brede Circular – 10.7 miles”
Salehurst Circular – 7.5 miles
Oh, High Weald, how good it feels to finally be back on your footpaths. Almost a month had passed since we last trod the trails of this AONB, and it came as something of a relieving return to normality to be there once again. Not that it was completely unchanged. Late summer suddenly feltContinue reading “Salehurst Circular – 7.5 miles”
Cousley Wood Circular – 10.8 miles
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”
