now i've started to do a bit of walking, i'd like to get the junior kkm's involved as well. the big 'un (12) is a bit of a girlie girl, but has tried some climbing and orienteering with her school and really enjoyed it. the little 'un (9) hasn't, and always manages to have "tired legs" when we do go anywhere.....
so i'm looking for advice on two things really. first of all, i want to take them away at easter, and take them walking. so can anyone recommend a good area for us to try out, as i dont want to frighten them off....i'm a bit of a "well lets jump in and see if i can swim" sort of person, so what i might think is ok, might not be for them.
and number 2, how can i avoid the youngest (apart from leaving him behind) getting bored and tired too easily?
oh, live in staffordshire, and also have close links to north and south yorkshire, so anywhere roughly about an hours drive from either would be ideal.
oh, and apart from camping, can anyone suggest any good self catering options, either a cottage/ something similar etc as well.....
i know, i dont want much........
