Would you go wild camping on your own?

[Borkins]

Just wondered if many women have done solo wild camping?

That sounds like utter bliss. Why did I never think of this before??

No, but then I have to be persuaded to camp. I actually like it once I'm there but I hate carrying the kit

Ps I hate campsites, much prefer wild camping

I would but my husband would want to join me.

Another who’d feel safer out in wild than in a campsite alone!
Think I’d rather have my dog with me though.

Yes, it's the best sort of camping. Out in the hills, away from any paths, (preferably on a summit somewhere for the sunrises). Blissful.

No. Not my idea of a nice time at all.

I’d do it!! I reckon you’re safer in the middle of Dartmoor than somewhere in a city. I’d be more concerned about getting trampled on by a horse (if on Dartmoor)

I haven't yet but I would. Have a few female friends who do so regularly in Summer.

I love travelling and camping, but prefer company.
I also like to have my van with me

Fuck that.

No, it sounds pretty shit.

Never even thought of this.

Would love to get a camper van and go off on that in my own.

Is that a good compromise?

I’d love to. I think I’d feel more relaxed if I had a dog with me who possessed a deep bark.

yes. beach at sunrise....

Yes I have in scotland. I wouldnt do it here in south coast england lol

I don't think so. There's no mobile reception where I'd go wild camping so if I slipped and broke my leg or something, I'd be stuck until someone came across me or came to find me. I think that's a much bigger risk than being attacked though that risk still exists...

I'd much rather do it with someone for company.

Well it's technically illegal so no. Plus, safety reasons = hell no.

I think I could enjoy that.

No I'm too scared of ghosts and monsters, can't sleep in my own house alone!

Though I'm getting glamping adverts alongside this thread so maybe the internet doesn't believe I can rough it that much.

Been doing it since I was 16. Really you're not going to bump into anyone deep in the highlands.

@YouJustDoYou

Its legal in Scotland. You can almost camp anywhere.

@YouJustDoYou not in Scotland and some parts of Dartmoor.

I'm more comfortable wild camping alone than I am staying on a campsite alone.

Fuck that

😂

I can rationally know that the chances of being attacked or hurt are negligible compared to a night out in town, but my gut instincts would not let me enjoy wild camping alone one little bit.
