With Child

All the walks on this site have been done with my family; wife and kids aged 8 and 10. They have been walking for years now, and love the outdoors (though still fuss when we plan a walk).

My observation is that you have a walking window with children from 4 to 13; before 4 you have to carry a bit; after 13 they have school work, friends etc. But this is a good window, and don't be shy: properly supported, you will be amazed how far a four year old can walk! And by 8 you are shouting for them not to go too far ahead...

Do your kids a favour - get them out there!
