AIBU for wanting to camp by myself on Dartmoor?

I've got all my kit ready, have my maps and GPS and plan to spend a week walking from North to South Dartmoor and wild camping.
But hubby thinks I'll get murdered or fall into a bog and never be seen again. I want to go on an adventure dammit, before I turn 50!

Murdered? Not sure many homicidal maniacs hang about on Dartmoor on the off chance of finding a lone camper to attack.

I'd like to do something like this, haven't got the balls atm though. Good luck to you.

Can I come? Grin

I took DC hiking along the Dorset coastal path each when they were 11/12. Pitched in fields...would love to go on my own..and escape their adult dramas

Envious of you for this adventure, my legs and fitness are not up to it at the moment.
Presume your GPS WILL fail from time to time so ensure map and compass readings are good and plenty of supplies and warmth.
Enjoy your trip!

Unless doing it results in you and your husband not having enough money or holiday time to go away together? Trills, her DH is off to Morocco, which I imagine will take more from the family coffers than a bit of wild camping in the UK!
