Hi,
I will start my Camino Frances on Monday, 28th of August, from Pamplona (finally). I am writing this because I feel so nervous that I am doing this alone. I read a lot on this forum about women walking alone, it seems to be a pretty safe walk for women. To feel better, I installed the Spanish app https://alertcops.ses.mir.es/mialertcops/info/infor/info_2_es.xhtml?faces-redirect=true
I am bringing with me a peper spray which hopefully I will never have to use, neither for dogs nor for humans and uploaded the CF track on my phone so that I don't get lost.
My plan is that in the beginning, when I leave the albergue from Pamplona, I will ask someone if I can join him/her/them a few km. I guess people are mostly waking up at the same hour and leave more or less in the same time and I could ask someone who goes in the same direction. Not sure how this would be received, but I guess I can try. At least for a few kms until I get used to the road...
Anyway, this is something which crossed my mind, I am leaving tomorrow for Madrid and I feel so so nervous about this unknown journey. It will be actually me very first trip alone.
Any advice/thoughts for a beginner?
Thanks,
Alexandra
