The General Rule…
There is a general rule that children can usually walk 1 km for every year of their age. So a 10 year old could be expected to walk 10km in one go. For those of you who are “miles” people, 1 km is 0.6 miles so you could just round it down to a 1/2 mile.As with most rules there are plenty of children who will struggle to walk that far and those who will exceed that by a good few miles.
Just food for thought.....
