Ive recently been thinking of taking myself on a hiking/camping trip alone in scotland or wales for a few days. I don't want to go way out in the wilderness because im inexperienced, possibly just sticking to camping grounds. My worry is how safe exactly is it for women to do this on their own? Ive only grown up with local town hysteria that tells me where ever I go alone I'm likely to be found dead in a ditch the next day, picked up by some rapist or murderer. I have a feeling this isnt the true picture though, and that women are alot safer out in the country than they are in towns.
Im only 4 foot 11 and 25, I look much younger, and unfortunately Ive always let this fact hold me back from doing things on my own.
Any other women out there who camp and hike alone?
At a pinch, I do have a boyfriend who is 6"3 and built like a brick s***house, but I felt like a bit of solitude!
