Our Rating: 7.5/10 (an old favourite in the autumn - fungi explosion especially parasol mushrooms, very scenic and undulating, deer-spotting, and of course a bench rest point at the start point to do up your walking boots!)

London - Enfield - The Green Needle - Palmers Green to Cat Hill [🌦️🌸🍁🌿🍄🐦🍎🍵🍺]
This charming little walk takes you through several parks and a nature reserve in our area of North London. For those of you wondering, the emojis indicate Jamie's views on the characteristics of the walk (they're not just random!). The Mushroom indicates foraging opportunities, the bird is for good bird watching, the beer indicates the route has a pub within easy access, the tea means there's a café....

Our Rating: 6.5/10 (Very easy paths and signposting, only a few bench rest points, quite flat then a little bit hilly, much of the scenery was a bit same-y (no great views except for the Herstmonceux castle with its beautiful flower garden), saw a kingfisher, great pub stops especially the Bull's Head

Our Rating: 7/10 (Unusual for us to do an A-B walk! Wonderful sunny weather, lots of colourful boat houses, greenery and birds all around - a good one to get up the step count, with 2 pubs in-between: The Jolly Fisherman, Fish & Eels)

Our Rating: 9/10 (Breathtaking craggy views across one of the best National Trust's sites in Devon, looks challenging but very straightforward, lots of bench rest points with a scenic view, apparently a nice tea room on site)

Our Rating: 7.5/10 (Majestic arch that welcomes you in... another worldly outside museum with gothic statues and bridges, lovely lunch spot by the lake, nice open fields with pheasants, doves and birds of prey, and... plenty of bench rest points)
