Five Great Hiking Destinations For Kids

5 hiking destinations for kids

Guest Post – Easy hikes in Europe: UK Cities are rubbish. They’re boring and grey and when your children try to play out in a street, they risk getting squashed and poor Mums get all panicky.

The industrial revolution may have heralded the mass movement of the population from the countryside to the cities but the Brits continue to have a romantic notion of the countryside, and quite rightly so.

It’s beautiful and kids get a different “playground”, with little car traffic about.

So, what are you waiting for? Get them out there. Get some fresh air. Let the kids scare the bejeezus out of some sheep or get them to some easy hiking destinations and show them a world that’s far more dramatic and awe inspiring than anything they can see on the Xbox or the telly.

Do It Again!

Song Lyrics

It’s automatic when I Talk with old friends The conversation turns to Girls we knew when their Hair was soft and long and the Beach was the place to go

Suntanned bodies and Waves of sunshine the California girls and a Beautiful coastline Warmed up weather Let’s get together and Do it again

With a girl the lonely sea looks good in moonlight Makes your nighttimes warm and out of sight

Been so long (Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now) (Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)

Easy Hiking Near London

Easy hikes in Europe: South Downs Way Eastbourne UK Considering that our small family spent the better part of a decade in Britain, our hiking experiences in the UK are strangely limited.

A few years ago, we dabbled a bit in the Peak District, but that was before we knew anything about “real” – albeit “easy” – hiking.

At the time, we took a one-day walk near Buxton on a disused railway line – which must be famous because I have seen it on TV several times since.

The one thing I clearly remember was that Mrs. Easy Hiker had brought her handbag and a flaming red fan (which, in the end, she hardly used because she was in constant fear of provoking the cows), wearing an outfit that clearly suggested a walk in the municipal park.
