fit like,
We have just started with the Munros. Husband and oldest son (8) have already managed Lochnagar and Ben Nevis. With the youngest (5) joining soon, we are looking for the best munros for famiies. They have always been good walkers, but we would love recommendations from others, especially walks covering more than one Munro's on the same day. (to pep up our bagging score !!) many thanks :D

Five year old could manage Carn Aosda and the Cairnwell and possibly Carn a Gheoidh in a day from the Glenshee skiers car park. . We did them with a ten year old, but made her walk from Baddoch so she could earn boasting rights over her brothers. All came over from the US aged 10 on separate years with their dad, 1. did Ptarmachan 2. did Dreish and Mayar and 3. the Glenshee lot. AND we found some antlers.
