Tramping with young'un
Original post
Hi there
Was wondering if anyone has had any experience tramping with kids in tow? I have a 6mo wee girl who has been on many day trips with me in Hunua, Waitakere and part of round Mt Ruepehu walk however I have not taken her on any overnighters yet.
I don't know if I'm committing some grievous sin by even thinking of it or just liberating her from the confines of the indoor play mat and plastic toys!
She loves to be bundled in the baby carrier and all in one fleece! It's in her genes!
I would love to hear of any tramping experiences/good tracks to take kids
Cheers

Great advice, Matt.
My Dad took my sisters when they were 6 and 7 years old overland from Doubtful Sound to Dusky Sound. This was in 1958. It gave them a love for tramping. There were some other adults and a boy in the group. At one stage a fog came down and they got the hell out of there. Another time, my sister got quite cold and Dad put the stove on and gave them jelly drinks to revive.
