A lot of people think that kids are not capable of walking long distances. I disagree. My son is now 8 and I started hiking with him 2 years ago. Last year we walked 63km in 5 days, and a few weeks ago he managed an amazing distance from Międzylesie to Międzygórze, a 24km trip that took us a whole day to finish (see map at the bottom). His stamina is unequalled and he’s such a fun person, too.
Obviously, hiking with a kid means that you need to be prepared for everything, take more food, more water, more clothes etc and there’s no guarantee you will walk the whole route that you have planned, but it’s so rewarding to look back on photos like this.
