    Is it possible to travel the last 100kms with a 3.5 yr old

    Thank you Heidi.... He's had ice cream every stop... And yes we've had our share of helpers. Lovely journey so far, albeit very hard on those hills out of Portomarin!

    Is it possible to travel the last 100kms with a 3.5 yr old

    Hi - I just wanted to update those who had shown an interest in our journey.... We are just outside Palas de Rei on a rest day. We started in Barbadelo three days ago, walking to Portomarinon first day and Palas on Day 2. Portomarin to Palas was a very hard day, pushing the buggy and Ryan up...

    Hiking Buggy Recommendations

    Thanks so much for the advice. The wheels are quite large as it is a jogging pram, and to be honest I'm not sure how I'd go about changing them.....we will take our walk easy and see what happens

    Thank you! I knew I had read posts before about the types of prams/ chariots used. We are taking it easy with luggage transfers and hotels booked. I'm sure we will do it!

    Hiking Buggy Recommendations

    Hola! Well we are booked and preparing for our first Camino in September this year. We are doing the Camino Frances from Sarria to Santiago and we are bringing my 3 yr old along. We've decided to bring a hiking buggy to use to push my son but are not sure if our normal pram ( a jogger with 3...

    Is it possible to travel the last 100kms with a 3.5 yr old

    I'm very keen on the buggy! :). Yes they do sometimes get tired and unreasonable, I think that is the lot of a toddler sometimes! Having said that he has always slept extremely well in his stroller, once he is tired he can sleep anywhere! A bit like me :-).

    Is it possible to travel the last 100kms with a 3.5 yr old

    I think it all depends on the child and the parent.....we have been through so much in the last two years in so far as resetting expectations and for me how I approach life and all it can throw at you! I'm pretty relaxed about most things now and we are in no hurry to get anywhere. Imagine being...

    Is it possible to travel the last 100kms with a 3.5 yr old

    Thank you! He is a pretty resilient child and has had lots of exposure to different experiences. We live on a my parents sugar cane farm so he is well used to different surroundings, people, loud noises etc etc..Plus he has had to be in the care of others quite a bit due to my treatment and...

    Ohh the is amazing! I agree having a helper would make it easier. It's very reassuring to know a buggy is possible to use. Thank you for sharing this footage :-)

    Is it possible to travel the last 100kms with a 3.5 yr old

    Slackpacking! I love it... Well that will be us :-). Ok, I'll look at the buggy again. This was my preference but had advice from a tour operator to not even try to push a hiking buggy. Thank you for the blog link! Great to read the perspective of someone who has experienced what I'd like to do...
