    Hi. I'm a 54-year old woman sitting on my sofa in a warm, dry home, and drinking a hot cup of tea. I'm enjoying watching your winter adventures of hunkering down under sheets of nylon to protect you from wind, rain and cold. You have a great, indomitable and resilient spirit which I admire as I'm not a camper and really hate the cold.
    It's amazing to see you winter camping in the wide-open spaces of the British countryside. I get my outdoor 'fix' vicariously through watching your pursuits, so thanks for bringing us this 'mini 'adventure'. :)

    what a fantastic video. Stuck in hospital, ive been binge watching your adventures. If I were a few years younger and without this chronic lung disease, I would be doing exactly the same. Although, I have had my fair share of camping adventures, when I was kicked out of the care system when I was 17 and instead of being on the streets, I managed to obtain a tent. That little two man served me for over 2 years, camping in various places in all weathers. If it wern't for that tent keeping me out of the elements, I doubt I would be here now.
    I look forward to your next adventure. Just stay safe.

      Heyy, so sorry you're in hospital and having health issues. I'm so glad you've got to experience your own adventures too. I think that's part of it for me, I want to do as much as I can while my body will let me. I can't seem to do as much distance as many others can do but I love my lil jaunts.
      I was in the system when I was 17 too, I was in homeless hostels from 16 for a couple of years while I did my A-levels. I only managed to get out of it by taking out a massive loan to go to university (which im still paying off now age 39 haha, and I never did put my degree to any use). Sorry to hear you ended up in a tent. Its fun to go camping but living that way must be really hard.
      Hope you're feeling better soon 💚 thanks for watching my lil video

But, these respiratory issues would stop me before I got to the end of the road lol I have Bronchiectasis, Emphysema and bits of lungs missing and now major prostrate problems coupled with blood infections. Which is why I spend so much time in this place, staring at the ceiling.
      It's heart breaking, missing so much time with my wife and children. Some people don't realise how depressing hospital can be, especially on long stints. Like my previous admission was 14 weeks.
      I'm 51 years old now, and am grateful that the various medical people keep me ticking over. But sometimes, just sometimes I get to the point where I've had enough. Hence why I watch these videos. They certainly lift my mood.

      I've been there. Only thing that helped me was being outside. Not even so much in a forest but a bit away from most people and I just walked. Along the fields of farmers, along busy roads and so on.
      Took me months and I walked on average 6 to 8 hours hours a day but it got me back to somewhat normal.
      I hope you just try it. You don't need to go so extreme as I did, but it truly helps getting outside even if you don't want to.

    Always like watching your content. Some 40 years back I did a special walk from Berlin to Beijing. I had to get special permission due to the transit visas being only 11 days. It took me 1 1/2 years and I walked 6.5 km with a detour or two to see some friends. It was cold! The coldest was -60degC I am now too old to do such things but the memories will always be with me!
    I used to say 'Just get out and do it!'.

    I enjoy the commentary brilliance "Hello Bog", "Love a Mine", "fear of Big Holes". I was saying hello to my local bog yesterday in the super sunny weather, well that was until the hail stones started. I ended up wearing my day pack on my head as the only protection around but it did help some. It just went from Summer to Winter weather in about 2 mins.

      Ooh they can be crazy! I watched a docu about all these people who died up by a mountain lake a long time ago with blunt trauma wounds to their heads, hands and arms, it's thought they got caught out in a hail storm of huuuge hail stones. Nature can be so brutal. Good idea with the pack over the head! Thank you for watching my lil video :)

    Absolutely exceptional video Claire! These are some of the best trips (in my humble opinion)... no plans or expectations. Just out there enjoying every moment that we're fortunate enough to experience. It always seems as though when we are just open and living in the moment that everything is a true gift indeed. I'm so happy that you got to experience the beauty and wonder of this last winter outing 😊
    I hope that you have the most amazing week Claire!

    When you fell at the beginning of the video, I remembered from the video that you hurt your heel.
    I'm always amazed by all these stone walls built so far from anywhere - who built them, who took so much time to collect and stack all the stones, how old are the walls?
    Really fantastic and beautiful images, you can see the best angle and the best images of nature.
    It's always great to discover the UK countryside with the best nature guide.

    Claire, it was really good to see you enjoying this trip so much. It made a lovely change from watching you enduring horrendous conditions and existing right on the edge of survival. I know you enjoy such things, but I found this much more relaxing - knowing that you weren’t in danger all the time. (Old codgers like me tend to feel a little over-protective at times!) I appreciate that you know what you’re doing, and that you always have a fall-back plan, but this episode was just sheer joy and beauty. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.

    I'm from Scotland but now live on a small island in Thailand. We used to love going wild camping in Scotland, especially around the Glen Etive area, although it's a little too well known now. Love watching your videos, although ~0°C would be impossibly cold for me now! Anything under 25°C and I freeze. We still regularly "go camping" but we go on a boat and hang out on deserted tropical islands with nothing but monkeys and the stars for company. Ideally with a small bar on the beach for the overnight stop overs. Watching your videos is always a highlight, I'm always impressed how impervious you are to bad weather!!

The main reason that I don't tent camp is laying on the ground is not good for my bones. I might start looking for a topper for my pickup. Take care and God Bless you and yours.❤😊

    Walking off into the wild is always better than some tourist daytrip. I went off into the Scottish Highlands for 6 months straight exploring the deepest ancient forests and climbing endless hills and mountains. I saw things no one had likely seen for a long time. Though there were always occasional traces of people. I went deep into one very old dark forest and within it's depths was some kind of old rusted metal barrel all crumpling in on itself. Another forest on the other side of the Highlands, this forest was on a steep rock slope; but climbing up to a flat ledge not far from a small waterfall for fresh water I pitched my tent. And beside the tree I chose was an old gas can for a little camp stove. Someone had used that exact spot! So deep in the middle of nowhere, lost from people. I videoed the whole 6 months, but i'm far too lazy to edit that into a million videos, aha.

    I explored that area for the first time back in December 2023 - there was warm air pouring out of some of those mine adits! I decided there were probably sleeping dragons down there so moved on somewhere else ;-) I was also slightly traumatised by the 'big hole' 😀. Doubt you'll see this comment, but on the off chance you do, there's another small mine in the area where they've done some re-creation to show how some of it worked - definitely worth a trip if you go to that area again - there's also a bit of the river you'd enjoy a paddle in I'm sure.
    Oh and yes the winter has been bl**dy miserable here in Wales - starting to see a bit of sun now in April, but it's c-o-l-d.
