I am a bit freaked out after reading a few accounts of women being accosted and even assaulted along the Camino Frances. I know the numbers are small and the issue probably not statistically significant but...........Do you think I need to be overly concerned? or even concerned? I have read all the advice about precautions including suspicious people, food and drinks, carrying a whistle etc. I am planning to walk in Sept on my own and believe this will be a fairly active time along the way. Does anyone have any advice or helpful encouragement for me. I am really doing this trip to confront my fears about being alone - recently widowed - and am committed to living full life as a single person.
the stories have taken me back to all of my youthful nightmares about the dark and strange scary men which is really not the paradigm I am interested in. I would like to quell this concern, but also be smart about my travel plans as well. Thoughts from all of you well travelled pilgrims or would be pilgrims would be appreciated!!
