That portion of the story reminded me of an experience I had, walking with three small children and an infant in a sling along the cliffs of Dorset. We got lost, the day was getting late--but no one fell off a cliff, thank goodness. We wandered inland; then the youngest of the ones who was walking needed a piggy back... and that was how we showed up at a cottage on National Trust land. The people living there kindly let the kids veg out in front of a TV while I phoned my mother-in-law, who came and rescued me.
The funny thing was, I doubt we walked more than five or six miles in all. Amazing how little it takes to have an adventure, especially on short legs.
