I turn once more to the hivemind...
My kids are now 6 and 8 and we can start doing some really exciting expeditions together (insert sub-thread about how you can still do exciting expeditions with a three year old here!). Last year my eldest and I did a really cool overnight bike ride, camping out on Dartmoor. It was a very special trip!
I'm looking at ideas for other trips this summer and wonder if anyone has any thoughts, or things that they have done which fit the bill.
My rough outline is to go with just one of them at a time, be away overnight for probably just one night, preferably camp unsupported somewhere, have good scenery and some sort of activity - unfortunately the youngest is not on a bike yet so it would need to be walking/'mountaineering' (or something water-based?) for him. We're based in Bristol.
The camping unsupported really limits us to Dartmoor or Scotland I think as a stealth-bivvy would not be as much fun with a kid, but I'm very open to other suggestions if I've got this wrong.
I wonder about the feasibility of the overnight sleeper up to Scotland to go to Rannoch Moor and then walk into the hills, but I'm not familiar with the terrain at all, a soggy, boggy midgefest would probably not lead to special father-son bonding time!
Any thoughts welcome!
