Ok, so heres the thing - Im a 24 yr old woman, and I want to try hiking and camping - but I know absolutely nothing about either. So I'm looking for advice.
Some 'beginner' questions -
- Where would be the best place to hike/camp for a beginner?
- What equiptment/clothing would I need?
- Would it be dangerous to start out alone, if not, are there any clubs or organised trips?
- When is the best time of year to start?
- I'm nowhere near fit enough to go hiking or carrying heavy backpacks so any tips on getting fit for it would be great
- any other tips
Thanks, any and all help will be greatly appreciated
