All Terrain Pushchair Walks: North Lakeland [Illustrated] [Paperback]

"...the information about introducing babies and toddlers to the countryside will be invaluable to any parent."

This book is bound to appeal to the growing band of young families who enjoy the great outdoors.

Authors Ruth and Richard Irons are qualified outdoor pursuits instructors and they know how important careful planning is for safe and enjoyable walks. There are 30 walks in their book, covering North Lakeland's superb walking landscape from Ennerdale Water to Lowther Park, and Haweswater to Bassenthwaite. There's something to suit every type of walker - from mostly level walks around pretty Lakeland villages, to more adventurous but safe hikes across windswept fells. As Richard says, "We've got walks for Sunday Strollers and Peak Baggers - and everyone else in between!"

"We enjoyed all of the outdoor sports such as rock-climbing, mountain biking and hill walking," says Richard, "and we wanted to keep fit and introduce our children to the great outdoors as soon as possible."
"We want people to enjoy these walks in safety," says Ruth, "so we have passed on all the useful tips that we learnt as we devised and tested the routes. Our book offers advice on everthing from clothing for children in pushchairs to how to cope with minor mishaps."
