There would be Mama and probably two lads, 11 and 13 years old (and maybe possibly perhaps but probably not - two girls aged 8 and 10 - very uncertain about the youngest one especially)
Am I missing anything significant?
You will be on some lightly traveled caminos, so you need to know your plan if one of the three of you is disabled. It is generally a good idea to have a buddy system so that no one is every alone. With only one adult, who goes for help if you need it? No matter how self-reliant your children, would it be good parenting to leave two children in the middle of a camino while you went for help? Send a child alone? Send two children off together to get help? I can think of a number of scenarios that would not be approved by child protective services!I would never attempt it nor advice to walk this type distance with minors unless there is a ratio one adult/minor.....but that's just me.

JohnnieWalker, is there any way of getting in touch with them?
