Ours loved geocaching when they were little, treasure hunting makes a good distraction, and definitely plenty of snacks. Chuffed that despite the moaning (and there was a lot!) they both did the Duke of Edinburgh awards and continue to hike with friends (and sometime us) now they’ve left home.
Oh and we climbed Castle Crag last weekend, a bit wet and windy though. Coming from the south of the North west (!) we don’t very often get to the north lakes, usually it’s Coniston or langdale.
I used to moan A LOT when my parents took us walking too but I must have loved it as I actually have some great memories of family walks and now love nothing more than going for a walk...😅
I didn’t hike much as a child, though my husband did. It wasn’t until we had children that I kind of got into it and I sometimes regret the missed opportunities of those pre children days but we are making up for it now!

A hard one when it's wet for the scree!
