I'd like to tour on my own in England or Wales first but It's probably not safe to tour alone I guess?
I a female and did my first solo tour last summer. England and Wales. I actually found it was just as safe alone as it was with my husband later in the year when we toured England together.
If I wanted to use a supermarket, I just wheeled by bike up to the security guard at the door (usually) and asked politely if he (usually a he tbh) could keep an eye on it because walking it around the supermarket wasn't practical and I couldn't leave it and the luggage in the bike rack... I never had an issue - they all said yes and in some cases the bike was in the supermarket (or store) itself. People were great at helping out and I never felt threatened at all. My write up (on CC) is in my signature below!
I used the Vaude Power Lizard 2-3 person SUP model - purchased to use with my OH but he has since decided that for anything more than overnight he is going to carry our Hilleberb instead. And since then he has carried the Hilleberg for the overnighters as well which means I have a rather larger tent than I needed, but the Power Lizard has stood up to a long and substantial thunder storm in Wales but has yet to be really tested out in high winds. I have been surprised at how well it has stood up so far and without issue because the fabric seems awfully thin when you are used to 4-5 season tents!
