Early 20s female solo hiker looking for a buddy to start the AT off with! Preferably female. I plan on getting a go the first week in April 2010 starting at Springer.

That leaves Warraghy out.
I love the smell of esbit in the morning!
What about Matty?
The trail is ever winding and the party moves every night.

this is a link a woman sent me which is a Atlanta based hiking club for women, if you cant find someone who is going to start a thru, you may be able to hook up with some females to at least leave springer with you. you are about to embark on the greatest adventure of your life. Good luck and happy trails
Hope this helps,

Hooking up with a guy on the A.T. should be very easy, but as the saying goes, "the odds are good but the goods are odd.
Are you earthy?

The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us

Start, trust your instincts, don't advertise and you'll be good.

Coastie, finding a suitable hiking partner, whether male or female, is sometimes best decided when you better understand yourself on the trail, how you hike, and the same about prospective partners. This way you can sometimes match up better or find a suitable way to hike with someone else.
If you don't mind be patient for awhile and starting solo one good possible route to finding that hiking buddy is to do just as Lugnut suggested.
The AT is a social trail. You'll meet 100's of possibble partners. It might be better doing it the way Lugnut suggested.
Don't mind the eastcoast hiker rant. They are mainly harmless. I think.
I'm not creepy, just a really sloooow hiker. Probably couldn't keep up with a gal in her 20's. Maybe I'll see you sometime in April, Coastie. I'll be starting April 4th or April 11th, depending on the weather.
