Hello to all.........
I have a question re safety............This may be a fairly dumb question, but perhaps something to consider even so.............
From the guide books, the VDLP does seem to include some fairly empty, rural sections.....How concerned need one be about walking through such areas alone in an off season like November - December..? Although long distance walking is generally really safe, times do seem to be changing......People now get assaulted and robbed on the long trails in North America, and a pilgrim was murdered on the CF not so long ago...........
Thank you kindly for any advice and suggestions.....
Happy trails,
WS
