Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. I'm delighted your lad enjoyed it too (and he can tell nan how much he did). You should both be rightly proud of taking up the challenge

Thanks all for your comments. I showed Josh earlier and he was really pleased with how many people had taken the time to look at our trip.

Ivan, thanks for your kind offer. We are planning on coming back at the end of may, so I may take you up on that.

Bluffer, cheers for your suggestion. I'll definitely look at getting a Trangia.

good write up kev, welcome to the club. im going to take my 3 year old out for a night in the woods this summer on a warm evening just as a first experience. when she is older i hope she will be interested in doing some trip walking and longer camps

on the stove front, someone i knew used to wrap a piece of copper around his gas canister and have an end near the flame to 'sink' the heat and keep the pressure in the can up in cold conditions. it did take a bit of practise at home to work out the optimum/safest distance form the flame but once he'd done that it worked a treat

Hello, good stuff pretty much what I would like to do with my eldest daughter this year (7 year old)
I use a meths stove, however if you have a gas bottle, try to keep it warm, I know someone who puts it in their jacket for a while. Also put something down to insulate the stove from the cold ground.
I plan to get my daughter her own little tablet/esbit style stove, so she feels she has her own stove and its a handy backup to carry.
