Our book has not fallen apart, and we have used it in the Lakes a fair bit. C. Lambah's idea of carrying their child on their front may work in small families. We have five young children (all under 8), and I always take my Macpac child carrier in addition to our ATP, but obviously we could not manage solely with the child carrier. Hence the book is very useful. Finding circular walks is difficult when the paths need to be of a certain quality and a certain distance. If you have any, C. Lambah, I am sure the authors would be very grateful (although I am sure they have spent hours pouring over OS maps of the northern lakes). Walks in the Brecon Beacons are even more linear due to the lack of quality paths. That is the Beacons for you.
Admittedly I found a number of the walks on the OS map before consulting the book - but that will always happen with any of these books if you can read a map and spend some time studying them. I thought the routes were great, and we have tried many of them. Walking is excellent in itself, and is even better for families who want to be healthy, stick to a budget, enjoy the hills and improve their fitness. Our children love exploring!
Top marks to Richard and Ruth Irons, particularly as they started the series!

We bought this book mainly because our youngest was only 20 months when we went on holiday to Cumbria and we wanted walks that we knew we could do without suddenly coming across stiles we had to lift the buggy over. However, we found it brilliant for the whole family because my 68 year old Dad was recovering from pneumonia and he could do the walks and my brother's greyhound who can't climb over stiles could also do the walks. I would highly recommend walk 15, walk 8 and walk 6. All were easy for my 4 year old to manage but were remote enogh for us to feel like we were doing some proper tramping.
The only reason I haven't given this 5 stars is because the maps in this book are not reliable, get a good OS map and mark your walk on with felt tip before you set off. We found that on some of the walks the compass directions were wrong which could be very misleading. The binding of our book also fell apart after the first walk.

This is a great book by a couple who know about walking with kids.
The walks are much more interesting than most in the series.
The Ullswater walk mentioned above is probably the best we have done with kids.
Ignore the words of peril and doom from Julian In Surrey!

needs more work
I may be biased here because I love hill walking and to go to the lakes and spend a great deal of time on the flatlands may have tainted my view. Read more
