- East coast, up a bit.
I must be an obstinate sod in my old age, but why did dad drop them off? Why didn't he go with them? Why was the alarm only raised when they were 5 hours late?
Not a nice situaton, but so very easily avoidable.
Just what sprung to mind. Would never leave a 14 year old and a 12 year old go on trails alone.
What, in the woods? mountain biking? Guess I would be an overprotective mother if I had kidsI was going on the cyclepaths alone at that age and I see kids doing it now.

I'm old fashioned, find this a bit "irresponsible parenting", but, hey, to each his own!You said trails, and that is what I replied too, but actually, yes, we used to go off up the crags overlooking Dumbarton etc on proper hikes and expeditions. They weren't dangerous big mountains or anything, but the scope for things going wrong was still quite large at times.
