You ladies should organise a ladies only meet to get to know each other. Any other lady who is not single but wants to get away from him indoors could also attend.

What an excellent idea - and from a man Not so much "want" to get away from him indoors, but have a shottie of the van on my own.

 

[piper]

Well I'm a bloke and I did some wild camping on my own last year and some folk thought that was odd .... so I wouldn't worry about it being odd.

 

[maingate]

If the ladies decide to have a meet, can I suggest you have AJ as your slave for the occasion. You could dress him up however you want.

Whips and Leather would give him some enjoyment for the service he could provide.

Hi Arrowtoscotland.......sounds like you are enjoying yourself and thats the main thing......security wise I rely on a strikeback alarm system and usually 1 little dog with hearing like an even more expensive radar system

I have wildcamped alone all over France, Spain and Portugal for years with no problems whatsoever but as someone else remarked......take good notice of your intuition and ALWAYS park facing a way out just in case......I also sleep with my van keys, mobile phone and bag with passports/money etc alongside me...........I find that little lot far better company and a lot more use............( well......for MOST things LOL )

If anyone finds me odd thats up to them.......you HAVE FUN.......maybe we might meet up one day......I shall be around Keilder/ hadrians wall in may !!

I am also a single female wild-camper, and although most of my wild-camping experience is in Europe and not the UK, I think the same conditions apply for single females. As mentioned by many other posters already, trust your instinct and intuition. If it doesn't feel right, then it doesn't really matter about anything else, you should find somewhere else. Even if it does feel right, spend a few moments to consider what you would have to do if something changes and it's not safe anymore. The rest is mostly common sense; keep the doors locked while you sleep, don't make a big spectacle of yourself, be nice to people around you.

It's true that most people are surprised when you tell them that you travel alone as a single female, let alone if you mention wild-camping, but in truth you're going to be safe enough if you keep your wits about you.

My main point was in this PC world men are seen as child molesters or rapists,

Well I don't think your comment is at all PC, in fact it is downright insulting to every honourable, honest and straightforward man. Perhaps you should examine the company you keep.

PC world

I think simply watching the news would prove my point, as a mature parent of a 14 yr old daughter I am well experienced of the PC world gone mad. As a ex-school governor, checked, rechecked, never expect to carry a camera and don't take photo's of your children, especially in the swimming pool or park. Even for a male walking alone in the park makes you and automatic pervert, try it and see the looks.

In certain parks you will be approached by council officials, take a dog then you are alright, no doubt the perverts have caught on to this!

My Dad always talked to children until my police inspector brother put him right with the implications of being around children. For me witnessing children jumping on the roof of a neigbours car, I took photo's, the police were round straight away, not to arrest the children but me for taking pictures of children doing 'criminal damage'!

PC world is here and in 'us' males face, where it ends is the big question, try working with children, you're a pervert unless you pay money to be CRB'd!

Any single ladies should get off to Scotland to wildcamp.

We have just returned from the West Coast. It was the first time I have been there and it was great.

I could rave about the scenery and the quiet roads but my main memory is of the lovely, friendly and helpful local people we met.

However, as I will not be there myself, I cannot be held responsible if it is incorrect information I have received

women only meet

just back to the site after an amazing trip in spain over the winter and i'm pleased to see a thread for single women wilding. i have always thought a female only meet would be interesting. I,ve been on a couple of meets and really enjoyed them but would love to meet up with some other female "wilders"
who's going to organise it?

Great to see you back Irenerobbie, I trust you enjoyed your winter hols,, I,m a little embarrassed cos I seem to have forgotton your real name (could be an age thingy).

As for the female only meet , well you,re just the girl to organise It.

Meanwhile take a look at this up and coming meet..

http://www.wildcamping.co.uk/forums...0-scottish-borders-spring-meet.html#post90202

It,s a mixed meet but I just know you,ll love the place

 

[irenerobbie]

A challenge for a woman

O.k. Lenny, i always like a challenge, so female wilders, WHERE, for the first female get together? As always location is difficult as we generally spread ourselves about a bit. i suppose i need to move this thread to the "meets" section.
P.s I think the final location for the meet should be a BIG secret
P.p.s Is there a dicrimination issue here? Can we be done? Kate

I am happy to host something however it is a long way for most to travel Let me know if you are interested. If you are I promise two things:
AJ will not know when/where it is
I will keep the other half out of sight ( and out of mind)

If any of you are trvelling north - you know you are welcome, anytime, meet or no meet

 

[Polly]

Hia

I am not being funny but I have enjoyed the meets I have gone on in mixed company.
I have really made fantastic new friends female and male and all from different walks of life so I am going to continue with these meets

I feel safe in their company and I do not feel any threats and I also feel very very very comfortable

so to the next meet at Anglers Rest Millers Dale Buxton Derbyshire


I also must say I do go away on my own where I stay on a site and these are ok but sometimes I have only my own company and sometimes I like that

Thanks

 

[magbrin]

I don't think this would be instead of mixed meets, nor particularly for a safe environment - just something a bit different. Most of us enjoy a girls night out, whether attached or not, and this would be the same sort of thing.

Any other views, and anyone willing to come to the north of Scotland for a bit of highland air and a dram?

 

[irenerobbie]

mix and match

hi, i definately do NOT see a female meet as something for safety or an anti "mixed" meet. It would be something that offered a chance of like minded females to get together. I,ve been wilding ,solo for years and have met very few solo ,women ,van drivers.
Magbrin , i'm in the highlands often and would certainly appreciate your invitation.
Let,s try for a June meet as folks are often up in Scotland for summer hol.s. What do you think? i,ve always to been happy to think of a meet as anything from 2 people up ,so come on lets do it.
