Description
Outdoor life with the children’s experience at the center.
The Lake District features lakes, forests, and mountains providing numerous opportunities to introduce children to the outdoors. Written for families with children under twelve and based on the authors’ own experiences, the book emphasizes variety and mastery rather than reaching a high summit every day.
Forty different activities to choose from.
The selection includes hiking, cycling, orienteering, paddling, and boating experiences, as well as accommodation options and other excursions. This provides several alternatives when weather and energy levels vary. You can choose a short introduction or a more extensive itinerary based on the children’s preferences, allowing their interest to develop through repeated visits to the area.
Grading and practical planning assistance.
Activities are graded for various age groups and families with children of different ages. Practical details make it easier to assess time requirements and specific needs before you depart. The book serves as a planning tool for adults, while the ideas allow children to participate in choosing the day’s adventure.
Choose challenges based on experience and conditions.
A walk along the water, a mountain hike, and an activity on the lake require different assessments and equipment. The book does not replace relevant training or local supervision for more specialized activities. It is suitable for families seeking a wide range of ideas and an itinerary that allows for plenty of breaks, safe mastery, and curiosity along the way.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher grew from a community of climbers and mountaineers wishing to share thorough knowledge of their routes—a tradition that continues to characterize the publisher’s books on hiking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
