Kungsleden is a stunning hiking trail in the north of Sweden. It is around 440km long in its entirety, but many people, like we did, choose a section of it to hike.

I hope you can …
Why hike with children? Whether you head out on an all day adventure or just a short walk, the benefits to children and parents alike are huge…..as is the effort to get out the door! I am realistic, and as a Mamma of three, I know that planning, logistics, weather, and the thought of the aftermath tidy up operation, can …

You have also decided the best and most cosy way to cook your food would be on a campfire…..a person after my own heart!! Who doesn’t like a warming campfire and making memories around them?
