Hopefully this is the best place for this.

Hiking alone... would you? DH is not keen on me going alone, I'm not overly confident about the idea (anxiety as a lone female in remote places) however I am also 100% I'd rather not do it with DH, baby and toddler in tow. I would probably take the dog for company.

If you hike as a family. Tips would also be helpful.

I would and have. Like pp I think navigation / weather etc biggest issues but if you are sensible and competent shouldn't be an issue in themselves.

The main thing I worry about is getting lost. As long as you’re confident on your route, go for it. I really enjoy being out alone.

I would and have. Mobile phone, dog and a good compass.
