Hikes' trek pole instructions noted on site

Hikes with Tykes received mention at the blog Hiking and the Art of Making Walking Sticks. The entry "How to Make Walking Sticks Your Grandkids Will Love". It examines "what might make a walking stick 'hip' for the under-eight crowd" Hikes with Tykes includes an entry about how kids can make their own walking sticks. The blog is run by Margaret Mills, a self-described "writer, mom and grandmum, native of the Pacific Northwest." Thanks for the shout out!

Read more about day hiking with children in my guidebook Hikes with Tykes.

My name is Rob Bignell. I'm a long-time hiker, journalist and editor. My son Kieran and I have been hiking together for the past decade. Before Kieran, I taught middle school students in New Mexico and Wisconsin, served as an infantryman in the Army National Guard, and worked in newspapers. I've won several journalism awards, from editorial writing to sports reporting. In 2001, The Prescott Journal, which I served as managing editor of, was named Wisconsin’s Weekly Newspaper of the Year. Currently I own and operate an online editing business, Inventing Reality Editing Service. After spending several years in Southern California, my son and I now live in Wisconsin on the scenic Red Cedar River.
