Any female hikers going SOBO this summer?

I feel like I'm the only one

I was originally hoping to start SOBO this summer, but have decided to head NOBO 2015 instead, funds weren't looking quite right!

I think one of the appeals of going SOBO is that you miss a bit of the crowds, if your worried about setting out alone, maybe find out a popular start week and hit the trail then.

Good luck on your hike!! I'll be cheering from the sidelines this year!

I checked over on Trail Journals,

You can search by year and direction, I think there was 4 ladies just on the first page! You will definitely have some fellow lady hiker companions!

My girlfriend will be hiking SOBO with me this year, so she will be there!

You're not the only one. I'm heading to Maine at the beginning of June right after my nephew's graduation. Should be hitting the trail by June 5. Goal is to get home by my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving! Sure we'll run into each other at some point along the way.

I'm thinking of flipping when i get to Harper's Ferry after starting NOBO this year. Should be heading SOBO from Katahdin around that time. See ya then!

There were a ton of SOBOs last year week of jun 16th (previous two weeks were hammered with rain)

Sounds like it! I'm trying to leave early June and be back by Thanksgiving as well, so we should be pretty much on the same track

Dawn is planning on starting SOBO in May. Maybe you can talk her out of it and join you SOBO a bit later.

I'm hiking SOBO with my boyfriend and our dog at the beginning of June - not sure exactly the date! When are some of you SOBOers planning to start?

My husband and I are starting SOBO on June 19. Hope to see some other ladies out there!

I'll be soboing a section, from NYC to MD, but I'm still not sure when it'll be this summer.

I'm flip-flopping, so I'll be headed south from Waynesboro, VA sometime mid August, maybe we'll catch up!

My girlfriend and I will be heading south during the second week of june.

"Samson" here. I'm planning to start June 29th (SoBo), but only going as far as 6 weeks will take me. I've already hiked from Harper's to the border of VT/NH.
