A Walk in the Woods blog features ‘Hikes with Tykes’ guidebooks

The blog A Walk in the Woods featured an entry about my Hikes with Tykes guidebooks. “It’s never too early to start introducing your children to nature and to walking outdoors,” writes the blog’s author, who goes by the handle Barefoot Musing. “You don’t have to aspire to backpacking and scaling mountains to enjoy casual hiking. Common sense and a little know-how are all you need to get you on your way and these books are a great introduction for anyone who wants to learn to safely take to the trails with their children.” Barefoot Musing is a mother of two daughters who describes herself as “more of a nature walker” than a hiker. Both Hikes with Tykes: A Practical Guide to Day Hiking with Kids and Hikes with Tykes Games and Activities are available for sale online.

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.
