Hiking, camping, and family adventures in the UK and beyond
We are Athena, Harvey, AΓfe, Lyra and Oslo (our Trailhound!), a little family based in the Cumbrian Fells in the U.K. who love hiking, camping and all things outdoor adventure. Before our daughters came along, Harvey and I enjoyed many adventures together; from rock-climbing in Spain, to camping in the snow on a Norwegian plateau, to climbing the third highest mountain in Italy. Our first daughter AΓfe arrived in October 2021 and we knew that, far from giving all of that up, we wanted to include her in our adventures and make new memories together as a family. We welcomed our second daughter, Lyra, three years later and now weβre navigating adventure as a four.
Now AΓfe is four years old and she has been hiking with us in Scottish winter, wild camped in the Lake District, spent the night in an Alpine mountain refuge, and climbed a 3000m peak in Italy (on her daddyβs back!), and weβre doing it all over again with Lyra as well. We love sharing our adventures with our daughters on Instagram and YouTube and want to inspire other parents to get outdoors with their kids; whether the adventures be big or small.
