Just read a post saying it’s not safe for solo women ?
Just read a post saying it’s not safe for solo women ?
ThankyouJanspex, I'm not sure where you may have read that particular post but there are a number of discussions about that very issue on this site. The prevailing belief among folks who may have done several pilgrimages (both men and women) is that a solo camino is quite safe for those who do it. Remember, it takes some thinking ahead and the potential is always available to travel in a group when you begin to feel a bit hesitant. I am a male who travels solo most of the time and have joined with a group now and again. As I have posted before, on several occasions a female pilgrim has joined me or the group I was with until she felt more comfortable. You should always practice safe stuff, male or female, and always remember that you can join others as you might need. If you are going to Spain / France, Buen Camino. If you're headed to Portugal, Bom Caminho!!
May is the busiest month so you will have no trouble walking within sight of others if you want. What route are you planning
Hi Janspex, we are from Glasgow and are currently planning our next Camino for May 2019 ( like on or around 18/19 May 2019), definitely the Portuguese route you are more than welcome to pm us, we still have plans to make, however, you will not be alone on a Camino. Bom Camino.Hi , I’m from Aberdeen Scotland and hoping to do my first Camino in May 2019 but worried. Going solo
Hi Janspex I'm going in Sept this year on my own. Second camino on my own. You will be fine. To be honest I think it's part of the process of facing your fears and overcoming them. You will feel so empowered by your trip. Most times you will have other pilgrams around and the odd time your on your own I'm sure you will also enjoy. You can also choose to walk with others all the time if you wish. There is always someone on the camino happy to chat and walk.

Well, look! Hardly opened your mouth and look at all the positive words going your way, hen! And what’s more, a pair of Glesca folk even offering for you to hang on to them! You did the right thing to share your worry. Look at the threads dealing with the subject, and then when you are walking, use your loaf and you will be just fine.Hi , I’m from Aberdeen Scotland and hoping to do my first Camino in May 2019 but worried.
