What are the options with bubs do you think?
I too have walked the Norte. Not only would it be exhausting and difficult, I think with those really steep and long up and downhills if you lost your footing or had some other unforeseen mishap it has the potential for being dangerous and life threatening to your children.I'm on the Norte now for the second time (now in Gijón) and I personally can't imagine taking two small children along. Just looking at today's stage with one steep climb of 320 meters followed by a very long downhill then a steep climb of 200 meters was difficult enough on my own let alone pushing a pram! You would need to take the bicycle routes a lot. Also remember that the Norte is asphalt, asphalt and more asphalt.
I've walked 14 different Camino routes and the Norte would definitely not be my personal choice with two small children.
My thoughts also.I too have walked the Norte. Not only would it be exhausting and difficult, I think with those really steep and long up and downhills if you lost your footing or had some other unforeseen mishap it has the potential for being dangerous and life threatening to your children.
I think that only you can answer this question. Since you have already walked the Norte you know what the terrain is like. And only you know how your children might behave.Pilgrims!!!!
I walked the del Norte route back in 2016. I still think about my experience every day. Once a pilgrim, always a pilgrim ey!
Well a lot has changed since my last walk including bringing two beautiful souls into the world. I’m thinking I’d love to walk the del Norte route again next year. I’m not confined to time. Has anyone else done it with young children? Mine will be 2&3 by then. Thinking to start in April. I’ll be walking alone and with a double pram.
When I did it last time I stayed in albergues when possible and camped when not. What are the options with bubs do you think?
Thanks everyone. Maybe need to delay a few years. Blessings. Buen Camino xxx

How old that is may be hard to judge. I have distinct memories of a family trip. When I raised them with my parents as an adult, it turns out I was 2 or 3 at the time. You never know what will leave a memory. In terms of appreciating it: some can appreciate at 5. Others won't appreciate at 45.IMHO: I would not take children until they are old enough to appreciate and remember the experience.
