Resource: Touring with a baby

[Cathryn]

Clearly of interest to me, but with numerous babies popping up on the forum, I thought this was worth sharing. These guys toured Vietnam with their 7 month old baby and had a great time.

This is their article on what they did and how they did it:

I've found it pretty inspirational!

Gave me hope

Just out of curiosity - why did they name their child after the capital of Estonia?

So what are the plans for the summer Cathryn?

Attending the European baby trailer racing championships in The Netherlands I reckon.

Interesting reading ... even for one who has passed that stage.

Tallinn is an interesting name, but it's grown on me!!

Plans for the summer? I'd say a week long tour of somewhere european, flat and safe so yes, probably the Netherlands. I had such a good weekend there in August and it was so safe I just think it's ideal for a starter trip. We'll see though.

Do like the idea of racing though.

So we're not doing Ventoux with a trailer then Cathryn?

I hope so!! Definitely still hoping and planning to do so, maybe slightly later in the summer...ie Sept...when I'm a bit fitter! I'm dying to tackle the Giant of Provence! So is Arthur.

Makes Arthur and his stuff look positively portable!
