My son Elliot was born in 2020, and it’s been quite a ride for my tramping life. I’m lucky enough to have a partner who loves tramping and is very tolerant, so I’m still able to head out both on my own and with my kiddo. I don’t write about all the adventures we’ve had together – I’ve been getting a bit lazy these days – but here’s a sample:
