Hi all,
I've appreciated all the words of wisdom (and silliness) on this forum - I am much better prepared than I would be otherwise, and am terribly excited to be starting at the end of August.
I love walking at night. The world changes after sunset. In particular, I love walking in cities at night, outside of areas with nightlife. I know my hometown well, and know where to wander and feel comfortable and where to avoid. Vancouver is a very safe city and rarely have I felt threatened.
I have done a little bit of walking in the country or hiking on trails in the dark - but the call of the coyote tends to creep me out a bit - make me feel vulnerable. But overall, I feel more alive and at peace.
So, with that rambling preamble, have any of you walked after dark? If so, is there a stretch that is more or less amenable to night time walking - anywhere between Irun and Santiago. Or even Finisterra?
Is there a stretch I should avoid at all costs (e.g. because the path is unusually dangerous and steep or other hazards would worry you).?
Has anyone walked at night? What was your experience?
