Let’s go back to the North Downs with its endless golden fields and evergreen woodlands for a walk from Cuxton to Otford. This walk was part of a training programme with one of my friends for our trip to the Lake District and Scafell Pike ascension – which did not go as planned, but that is a story for another time.

Wendover Circular: A Walk In The Chilterns AONB
As we were training for our trip to the Lake District, one of my friends and I decided to go on a long day hike every weekend leading to the holidays. This is how we ended up on a rainy day on a 17 miles (27km) walk from Wendover in the Chiltern AONB. As much as this walk takes you up and down hills, it did not help in any shape or form to train me for Scafell Pike ascension, where I failed miserably and had to turn around – but that is a story for another post.
East Grinstead Circular: A Walk From Water Into Wine
I cannot turn water into wine, but I can definitely take you on a walk from a reservoir to a vineyard in the East Grinstead countryside. And that is still a pretty cool power to have! The East Grinstead Circular Walk is a varied countryside hike taking you through woodland, open fields and picturesque villages, with a few great stops along the way. From the peaceful waters of Weir Wood Reservoir to the vines of Kingscote Estate, this route has plenty to keep things interesting from start to finish.
