Hi my name is PIps and I am planning on beginning the Camino mid July 2009. I am a 24year old girl with anxious parents and would like some advice on whether or not it will be safe to do the Camino del Norte on my own? The appeal for me is that it is less crowded and close to the ocean at times, but I do worry about the arrows being vague and the safety of the route. Perhaps my first time should be of the Camino Frances? Any advice would be hugely appreciated. THANK YOU! I am extremely excited, but a little nervous too
