im not ashamed to tell you that your videos often make me cry. your positivity is overwhelming, and has been an absolute blessing during some of the worst parts of my life. thank you for taking us along these beautiful trips and for being such a force of endurance and light in a world of darkness.
I've wanted to do this for years. But now at 65 when I have the time, my body is too worn out to do it. That's modern life for you. You work yourself into the ground and miss the most important stuff. I'm thinking of using my van as a bed and just stay in places. You've given me the urge to do it Claire. X
Go for it Larry before it's to late bud, were 60 and go away 4 days every week, so much to see in our beautiful country and away from the rat race, hope you do it and best wishes
You seem happiest when you're a little wet, tired and have your back sore from the rucksack. It's a pleasure and privilege to share these moments with you.
Possibly the best Welsh outdoor video I've seen ? I have great respect ! My sad record for rainy Welsh camping trips is 12 days of constant rain, ended up camping in the back of a small van.
Juat found your channel. You are very impressive. I'm very protective of the women in my life. Herself, sisters, nieces, mother, colleagues etc. I realise its sexist at times. But you are truly brave, you put many many men to shame with your ability to test yourself, confront your fears and then, even more impressively, know your limits. As Clint Eastwood said 'a man's gotta know his limitations'. It would appear this brave babe knows hers! V cool. Very.
You are such a wonderful free spirit. I love the way you closed this video. I agree with every sentiment. Thankyou very much for posting, and walking the hills for me. I'm disabled.
Love your reflective summary at the end - kind of sums up all the joy of my 66 years of wandering and exploring and sleeping in wild places. That magic never wears off.
See now, I use to take my dogs and go to the woods all around me and spend the day BUT for 3 years we’ve had a mother black bear move in. 4 cubs. In total ( one set was twins ) and then there’s the Dad somewhere, and seeing videos on how mother bears attack protecting her cubs regardless- nope-, haven’t gone and am not planning to go.
I watch quite a few wild camping / outdoor adventure channels and I rank this channel right up there with the best, The production values, editing, music etc are all first class and Claire is a very personable host, I always find her videos to be very relaxing and calming, even though she may be slogging her way up a hill or through a forest, there is a therapeutic quality on the screen which I find very restful when it's time for bed.....Thanks Claire, may you have many many more adventures to come!
Honestly, I never saw your channel before, which is surprising. I really enjoy your content. Very mellow and calm. Your not one of those people that just does bushcraft without talking. I like the interaction you have with the audience. I watch this a lot when I’m hiking and bushcrafting, great company!
Claire, what an amazing video! The scenery is amazing and you did a great job of bringing us along with you. Thankful for you sharing this adventure with us!
Things I love about these videos you make…. 1. Your positive attitude 2. Your amazing skill 3. Your independence 4. You love of bacon, sausage, lamb etc 😀 5. How you narrate the vids so beautifully 6. Your genuine love of the outdoors Keep doing what you do. It’s fab.
@@glynnbradley7791she has a selfie stick as you can clearly see from the position of her hand/the angles when shes using it. and you can see her carrying the actual stick when shes left the camera somewhere to record her. Then she has to go to get the camera herself obviously. And she operates the drone herself which is also often pretty obvious in the videos. Plus looks like shes got a minicamera on her rucksack which gives you the first person perspective, especially where its hard to film any other way. She also stated she does this herself. Really zero need to downplay her efforts, and to expect theres actually some random dude behind this
When I watch your videos it reminds me so much of time gone by taking my sons into the mountains. You are not just climbing and camping, you are creating memories for later too.
Aw that's nice 😊 I'll be taking my son to the mountains over summer, can't wait for that, best memories 🥰 Thanks so much for watching, hope you're having a lovely week :) Claire
Memories are a collection of moments in time and Claire has an abundant of precious ones to reflect on in years to come. An awesome lifes journey in a personal time capsule shared unreservedly with those of us wanting to be there too. Thanks for the memories girl. Bushyboy Oz.
This was a B E A U T I F U L trip. You needed this. After that last excursion. Very happy this went very well after what you experienced. The best part is you got back up and moved on past it. That’s good. I’ve not seen all of your videos, but enough to know you are a crazy girl with a great attitude, and a reasonable amount of fearlessness. As a still photographer myself, I have to also comment: THIS was a great piece of filming and editing. It was crazy phenomenal! You always infuse so much positive energy and joy… but something about this trip and video was absolute next level. Can’t put my finger on it… but it’s like something “new” happened. Like a new chapter or something. The video captured it. My daughter needs to end her night watching this, so I’m sending her this video. You are a huge inspiration… thank you for posting these. Hailing from the across the pond in the States. All the best! 🙋🏻♂️
It really shows when you are happy, healthy and feeling good. What a lovely 24 hours in nature. It’s been so long since I’ve been far enough away from lights and the city to really see and enjoy the stars and night skies. Thank you for inviting me along.
I’m really enjoying watching your videos. I wanted to say thank you for showing a vulnerable side. I hike alone usually but I do scare myself sometimes, it’s really nice to see that I’m not alone. You’ve helped realise it’s probably not due to lack of competence more a lack of confidence. People don’t show their vulnerabilities too often it’s really refreshing to see in your videos so thank you it’s appreciated xx
I do that same thing (solo tent camping ) every fall in the smoky mountains for 4 or 5 days chasing waterfalls and such. I am an old guy now close to 70 years but I adore being in the great outdoors as you do yourself...... my passion is photographing wildlife and in particular, bears. Kudos to you for doing what you love and sharing it with us ! Cheers 👌
Good effort! As an Englishman who grew up in Essex, I dreamed of travelling. When I turned 25 I moved to Australia and drove half way around the continent in a 4x4 I turned into a micro camper. Lived in Tasmania too. My jobs were hilarious, was farming in random places. After that I lived in New Zealand for 2 years before coming home. I tried settling down, earned good money but become restless. I took to motorbike adventures in Europe, Wales, New Forest, IoW etc. Anyway I moved to Canada for 4 years living in the Prairies, “land of the living skies”. Loved road tripping, cabins by lakes n mountains. Oh the mountains! Moved back to Berkshire, England and at 37, I’m falling madly in love with British countryside and culture. In the 8 months I’ve been back I’ve done the classic Snowden for the 4th time, Devils Kitchen, Lake District, Cotswolds walks, Bath/surrounding are walks and just recently chased the coastline in Cornwall. I found your Chanel reviewing Rab bags, kitting up for the UK and doing research. Keep on keeping on! This is living!
Loved this one, thanks for the reminder to be brave and go out there and get out of our comfort zones. You’ve helped me push forward to plan a trip I was a little too scared to do xx
My English friends used to ask me why I always wore a Gore-tex jacket wherever I went, my stock reply was "I'm Welsh", they understood. It's so great that you were finally able to have the trip you hoped for, you really earned it, and thank you for being honest with your videos. Anything outdoors can be weather dependent and sometimes it just stinks, but you came back and the sun shone! Love your videos and love seeing the joy you find in nature. Keep going and stay floofy!
Hehe, yep, deffo understanding the jacket 😄 Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed this, felt special to me. I will, wishing you a floofy weekend 🤗🌿🐻 Claire
Yup, well said, nature is really beautiful and people cannot live without it and praying that they will soon realize that it is not too late to take care of it, for today and for the future generations, thanx for sharing, stay safe and be healthy.
As a Kiwi, Im really impressed how much available land is available to comfortably hike, and how beautiful the country is. I also like that you focus on where you are, not really about kit and gear. Keep it up, your channel is peaceful
@@a.r.t.4611 But New Zealand is very thinly populated, I guess you can walk for miles and miles across perfectly pristine terrain in NZ without meeting anyone. And with all due respect to Wales and its scenery, New Zealand has more to offer in terms of natural landscapes.
Hello 👋 Claire, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing another peaceful and serene outing in nature. I really enjoy your videos. Always be safe out there. Take good care of yourself. I look forward to your next exciting outdoor adventure 😀. 🤗
An odyssey in an earthly heaven, and your music choices sit well with that achingly beautiful mountainous land and its ever changing skyscape, generated by the mountains and the winds. These videos evoke so many memories of the long gone days when I too could roam those mountains, at one with nature, and feeling more alive than at any time in my life. The purity of that wild land, carved from geological upheaval, and refined and weathered by the winds, the rains and mists, the frosts and snows of countless aeons, just grabs me by the heart, and I'm so grateful to be able to see it again, through your eyes. Many many thanks, and please make many more videos of the exquisite perfection of that precious landscape. God bless you Claire and keep you safe.
You have such a gentle and free spirited soul, I love your videos which are so well made. You make the whole world seem to be at such peace with itself. So glad to be a subscriber of your channel.
Aw thank you so much Brian, I'm so glad you like my lil vids, I love to make them. When I'm out wandering about in these places that's how the world feels to me - at peace with itself 😊 hope you have a lovely week :) 🌿Claire
You do amaze me with your adventures. You really do plan some fantastic walks. That looked amazing, very well done. Your videos are so well edited, your skills have improved so much since day one. You should be very proud of what you have achieved Claire. Such a beautiful spirit. ⛺️
Aw thank you Neil, that's very sweet of you to say ☺ I adored this trip so I'm very glad you enjoyed watching it. Hope you have a wonderful week :) 🌿 Claire
Hi Claire, it’s so good to see you out and happy again! Thank you for putting another beautiful video together as always. You are such a beautiful soul and this world is truly blessed to have you in it :) x
Thank you Claire, for sharing your lovely videos, of you Wild Camping. I d love to come back home, for a long holiday, to see & do all of the things that I wanted to do, back in 1970. But when you are a kid back then, you needed to do what & go where your parents said. I live in South Australia & have been doing a bit of camping, but am starting to get out in nature, more often now...love nature. I do, enjoy watching your videos, as through them, I am able to "transport myself back home, & take in the beauty of my beautiful Country, Cymru! With you being a lone Parent as well, is a great task in itself, well done. Thank you again, for your lovely videos.
Thank you Claire, I'm having a tough week but your video as usual has made me feel like I was with you on a relaxing time away from work. Your like the granddaughter that I wish I had. Love you little wild one.
Aw bless you Stephen, sorry you're having a tough week, big hugs! 🤗 So glad you enjoyed it, I loved this lil trip so much :) hope things get better soon! 🌿🐻 Claire
An excellent trip Claire! Thanks for bringing us along with you x Stunning scenery and vistas. Sometimes the best trips don’t have to be the hardest but the sense of achievement is so worth it. Well done!
Great closing comments. Every word rang true. Thank you for encouraging others to step out of their comfort zone so they too can experience new levels of personal growth. Your sense of adventure and willingness to challenge yourself will lead you right to where you are supposed to be. Cheers.
Wow, backpacking alone for three days is a very difficult and great challenge. I salute my friend for her challenge. My friend from Korea is cheering for me. 👍 👍
Just happy to see people do this stuff. The filming, editing, planning but most important the getting out there that many will not. Awesome Claire! I didn't think the video would be this nice to watch and inspiring. Excellent!! Was nice to watch and all the best.
The under water shots are amazing! The water is so clear, I love this. It reminds me of Northern California. Great drone clips also. Such beautiful country. It’s so true what you say about getting out of your comfort zone. Stay safe out there!✌🏽❤
Claire I really loved watching this episode, thank for you all the amazing time and trouble you put into making these videos. It’s funny but the eldest of my 3 granddaughters, Mollie who is nearly 4, you look how I would imagine her to be when she is your age. She is such a wonderful little sweetheart and it be my dream if she had the inspirations and passion for life like you have. Your videos inspire me as I love outdoors so much myself and I need to find inspiration to get back out after many years being stuck in a rut letting my depression get the better of me. But I am fighting back thanks to my 3 little cherubs and we have a 4th on the way, I am so blessed. Loved the drone footage especially the Forrest ones with the wonderful classical music, it fits so well and is so relaxing. I watch a guy called Martijn Doolard and he does similar things but he’s a Dutch guy living alone in the Italian alps and he is restoring a stone house and living off grid. Like yours, his videos are just so calming, not so much talk but natural background sounds like you have, by the way, what equipment do you record your backgrounds as they are so crisp and clear and the video quality is amazing. Oh gosh Claire, I so wish there were more people like you, you truly are a blessed and beautiful young woman, your little boy is so lucky to have such an amazing mummy. Sorry I will stop now Bless you so much Claire, please take good care of yourself dear, you beautiful child of nature xx
Hi Chris! I'm so glad you liked it, thank you so much for your lovely words :) How blessed to have grandchildren, it must be lovely 🥰 I wonder if I will have them one day :D I'm so glad you're fighting back, I think sometimes we have to hit a real low before we can come up again, and that's a part of life - we can learn so much along the way Mostly I'm just using the in-camera mic, the camera is a Sony ZV1.. it's great but it picks up EVERY sound including the sounds of the camera, the squeaking of the metal if I'm holding it on a stand etc, so sometimes it's picking up everything I don't want it to. Sometimes I use a Sony wireless mic to avoid this but then my hair ends up rubbing on it and making noises, or I'll have it on the wrong setting and sound like I'm shouting haha, I'm still learning all this stuff Oh thank you, in truth it's me who is blessed to have him as a son, he is a remarkable boy and I am truly thankful to get to spend my time with him and raise him (although he's not so little now, being 10! Time is flying!) Thanks again and wishing you a beautiful week 🌿Claire
This is by far the most beautiful and impressive hiking video I have seen. And it gives a great idea about the colourful landscapes of Wales. Perfect editing, mixing, music. I plan to watch all your videos ! Cheers !
I've just come across your channel @WildBeare, and I haven to say, your video's are amazing! Very inspiring, not only for the walks etc that you're doing. But your way of editing. Keep up the amazing content!
Thanks Michael, I swear mine's getting worse again, thought I was making progress last year after doing Snowdon Watkin and Tryfan, but I seem to have taken somewhat of a step backwards 🤔 Not that it matters, but it's still something I'd like to get back to working on a bit. Thank you so much 😊 wishing you a wonderful weekend :) Claire 🐻
Wonderfully relaxing and well edited video . UK expat here now living in America for the last 4, years . Brought great memories seeing how beautiful , peaceful and tranquil Snowdon is .
You really have put yourself among the top tier of UA-camrs, amazing videos! The cinematography is excellent but what blows me away is the landscape. I live in the eastern USA, heavily forested, water everywhere, almost rain forest with the humidity. The landscapes you hike in are breathtaking! Not a tree for a hundred miles but absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing! You capture it so well! Is this protected land, public owned? Private? Incredible!
It looks like she is in Snowdonia which is a protected area but the land is mostly privately owned. Unfortunately we do not have strong land access rights in the UK, so wild camping is technically illegal without the permission of the land owner but that can be very difficult to obtain :(.
@@jakedethierful Thanks for the response, I’ll now be looking that up on Google Earth! If I caught her camping on my land I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be upset LOL.
@@jakedethierful In Scotland wild camping is not illegal, and is permitted in most places on unenclosed land anyway (which there is a LOT of) and there is a right to roam on open land responsibly. There have been some restrictions on camping by several lochs in the Loch Lomond National Park, imposed by the national park authority recently, but even there, in most of the Park camping is permitted. It is mainly loch sides in the Park, beside roads, where there has been some antisocial camping that the restrictions apply to. There has been debate though, that existing laws could have dealt with the antisocial campers. (The park is close to major population centres, which is part of the problem!) Camping in any of the sorts of places depicted in this video would be perfectly legal though in Scotland, even in the National Park I mentioned. I have camped and bivvied many times, sometimes by roads and sometimes high up and have never had a problem there. I have also climbed all of the 282 Munros ( Scottish peaks above 3,000 feet) 3 times (and many much more times than that) and have never had any access problems, even before the right to roam laws were brought in. The deer stalking season, mainly between mid Augusat and late October, is the only time there may be a problem, but many shooting estates are happy to advise walkers and climbers of routes they can take, so as not to disrupt their activities during this period. The midges can make you feel unwelcome though in the summer in Scotland! (Actually, that should read "the midges do welcome you in the summer in Scotland!")
@@ymg8057 Yes, you can pretty much camp just about anywhere in the Scottish Highlands and any other unenclosed areas as well. Obviously not in someones garden and it would be daft to do so in a filed of cows, or whatever, but there is so much open land, you shouldn't have to. There is a right to roam just about anywhere as long as you are not causing damage and again not crossing peoples gardens etc.!
Just wanted to say a big thank you, your videos are so uplifting and inspiring. I've loved camping and hiking from a young age, now 63 with life's scars I've bought my first tarp , and am enjoying re kindling my love of the great out doors, the solitude, how insignificant you are in the greater picture. When im in nature I feel my problems float away. Thanks so much for getting me off my backside. ❤
This is by far your best trip Claire, thanks for showing us how wonderful this area is, only been here once to explore the coppermines and thought it looked a great place to wildcamp now I know for sure. Atb for your next outing
Thank you so much, I adored it! 😍 Yep it's a great place to camp, a few stretches of this I was the only person around for half a day or so, so lovely :) Have a great weekend! Claire 🌿🐻
Been watching your UA-cam for a while now and I must say you are inspiring. I've been hiking and wild camping for years now but always in a group never alone. Watching you and this post when you said you bottled it going up to high because your afraid of heights I was surprised because your always doing this stuff alone and it's hard enough being surrounded with friends let alone on your own. After watching this I've decided to do along through hike alone, something I've been thinking about for years. Thank you and keep doing what your doing. All the best, Roy.
That was stunning - the view on your first night's camp was amazing ! I spent a lot of time and miles training in Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons in a past life. Your video brought back a lot of memories. I took my daughter back up to the Isle of Skye last weekend - it's her favourite place in the world, so we go up there as often as we can. We did the Old Man of Storr and the Fairy Pools (yet again) and had an absolute blast. Knackered, but smiling 😄
As someone from southern Europe, if I saw those dark clouds paired with a heavy rain forecast during May, I'd expect them to develop into thunderstorm clouds and be quite terrified to pitch at these places. So I am in awe of your confidence that all will be fine and lightning-free.
Hi Claire what a fabulous camping trip! We absolutely love Beddgelert and the area around there. If you don’t know the legend then it’s worth reading! It always made me so sad as a child. You can visit the grave. We found there was lots of ticks all over our dogs when we went to the forest☹️so I hope you didn’t get any! You are always an inspiration in your video’s and really make us feel like we are almost travelling with you. Take care and thanks again for a great camping trip! Love Helen & Andy Hogan ❤💐xxxx
Heyy Helen & Andy 👋 ooh yes, someone told me the legend a few years ago, very sad I agree, my son and I visited Beddgelert's grave last summer 🐕 Funny you should mention the ticks, I ran into someone on the second day, he said he'd been covered in them. I'm using permethrin on my outer garments, long socks, boots & rucksack now and since I started using it I've not encountered a single tick, it's bliss! They're usually all over me, horrible things give me anxiety Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing this trip with me 💚 have a lovely weekend :) Claire
Now that looked like an absolutely awesome and diverse backpacking trip Claire! Excellent video by the way! This is definitely one of my new favorites of yours for sure :) Loved the way you ended this... couldn't have been said more perfectly. I hope that you have an amazing weekend my friend! Stay wild.... -John
You always do this to me Claire. I've just come back from 3 weeks driving\hiking in Scotland now I want to go to North Wales again. This area is spectacular and thank you for recording it all. BB /|\
I've been binge watching people lkke yourself just enjoying life to the simple pleasures and since I have some time off work I think I'll try this for a weekend. But tskjng notes so thank you for sharing, stay blessed and safe out there
Hi Claire, from the High Sierra mountains of Northern California. I love your peaceful countryside compared to mine. We have bears, mountain lions that lay on rocks above the trail and watch you go by, and the occasional mystical Bigfoot that comes into camp for a cup of coffee.🌹🐻
Beautiful and inspirational words at the end, paired perfectly with your adventure. It takes a great deal of courage and fortitude to venture into unknown terrain, trying out new equipment and having flexible plans. As for the lanshan and seam sealing, check out Homemade Wanderlust’s last video in heavy rains. She had a similar spot leak despite her seam sealing. Luckily, it’s just a matter of touching up. 😁. Thank you for taking us along on this journey!
Hi Linda, thank you so much for your lovely words ☺ Ooo yes so I've heard, I've re-done the seams since this video was filmed and am hoping to test it out soon in some rain 🤞 hopefully that'll do the job. Hope you're having a lovely weekend :) Claire 🐻
Glad I found your channel! This is perfect to show my wee girl to feed her enthusiasm for the outdoors 😁 there are loads of guys posting these kinds of videos, but not enough ladies! Thank you for your effort and high quality videos, you're the kind of person I want my wee girl watching as she can relate to you and your adventures. We're off to the forest tomorrow for an adventure, one of your videos over lunch I think 😊 happy trails and thanks again! 😊
Your so lucky to have such beautiful landscape to adventure in! I live in Las Vegas and the camping here is terrible! Dust, heat and strong wind is all I got here.... I'm so jealous! So now I'm your new subscriber so I can live through you on your adventures. Good luck and God bless.
Amazing video as always Claire! Epic views and really captured the sense of adventure in the edit, the lanshan served you well (apart from the flooding) and looks really stealthy its almost like the hilleberg sand colour.. catch you in the next one 👍
Mr Badger! 🦡🦡 How the devil are you 🦡🦡🦡🦡 Aw thank you so much, loved this trip 😍 Yeh I'm hoping I can get the Lanshan watertight as really like it otherwise.. I've re-done the seams since so just need to test it out in some rain 🤞Have a great weekend in your sett 🦡😄 Claire 🐻
Again great vid. The things I enjoy the most, your kind heart, awesome humor, genuine presentation, and inspirational words and actions. Watching your vids actually make me feel better! So, from sunny Florida, US, I say keep rocking on!! Awesome job!! Thanks ;-)
2nd watch. Your thoughts opinions knowledge shared greatly appreciated! At my strongest in my 20's four decades ago I couldn't reach the figurative and literal mountain tops that you do Claire. My adventure camping on hikes lots of woods. Your photography is breathtaking Music is perfect and majestic
Thanks Claire. I've been binge-watching your channel since I came across it the other day, love it! So relaxing watching your adventures but also motivating me to go on some wild camps too this summer :D
Ahh yay, love to hear this, hope you have an amazing time, it's a proper love affair this camping lark 😍 Welcome to my lil channel, so glad you're liking my vids and thank you for watching and commenting :) Happy Camping! 💚🏕🌿 Claire
Great video, well made, edited & presented. Very inspiring, I intend doing a solo wild camp because I often struggle with depression & anxiety. We do a lot of high peak hiking which helps but I feel the time has come for some alone time to find myself again. We get out as a family to hopefully inspire others. Love The Shackletons ❤️
Just brilliant Claire, beautifully filmed.. such a great 3-day adventure that! 🙌🏻 I’ve been planning my first multi-night wild camping adventure, I’ll be heading up to the Lakes next month for that, can’t wait! 😊 I was on the Long Mynd the other week in Shropshire, that’s an amazing place too, they even have wild pony’s up on there - can highly recommend that one to you for a visit..
im not ashamed to tell you that your videos often make me cry. your positivity is overwhelming, and has been an absolute blessing during some of the worst parts of my life.
thank you for taking us along these beautiful trips and for being such a force of endurance and light in a world of darkness.
I've wanted to do this for years. But now at 65 when I have the time, my body is too worn out to do it. That's modern life for you. You work yourself into the ground and miss the most important stuff. I'm thinking of using my van as a bed and just stay in places. You've given me the urge to do it Claire. X
Go for it Larry before it's to late bud, were 60 and go away 4 days every week, so much to see in our beautiful country and away from the rat race, hope you do it and best wishes
I'm 66 and disabled and I too want to do things like this.
You can do it.
Yeh go for it. Good luck going for it and enjoying yourselves !
You still can do it , have hope and take it easy ! Good luck
You seem happiest when you're a little wet, tired and have your back sore from the rucksack. It's a pleasure and privilege to share these moments with you.
How are you not terrified to adventure and sleep alone in the wild? You're so gutsy and an absolute inspiration to many of us women. 🤗🩷✨️🧚♀️✨️
Possibly the best Welsh outdoor video I've seen ? I have great respect !
My sad record for rainy Welsh camping trips is 12 days of constant rain, ended up camping in the back of a small van.
This and being a mum, you're very inspiring to people who think they are stuck in a rut. Great video as always Wildbeare
Aw thank you so much Dave, I am very grateful for the little life I lead :) 💚 Have a great weekend!
@@WildBeare I volunteered to be your videographer.

It’s great video , cool 😎
What I like is it is so relaxing.. No high tech survival mumbo jumbo. Just simple basic camping enjoyment. Its cotangeous. Brilliant vids.
You are such a wonderful free spirit. I love the way you closed this video. I agree with every sentiment. Thankyou very much for posting, and walking the hills for me. I'm disabled.
Thank you for sharing your adventures! The landscape is absolutely beautiful and your cheerful, enthusiastic attitude compliments the scenery!
Love your channel Claire. Brilliant production values with your videos. You go to the places i would love to be. Fantastic 😍
Love your reflective summary at the end - kind of sums up all the joy of my 66 years of wandering and exploring and sleeping in wild places. That magic never wears off.
The rain pelting on the tent and knowing you are safe is the best feeling ever, u rock wild bear!

See now, I use to take my dogs and go to the woods all around me and spend the day BUT for 3 years we’ve had a mother black bear move in. 4 cubs. In total ( one set was twins ) and then there’s the Dad somewhere, and seeing videos on how mother bears attack protecting her cubs regardless- nope-, haven’t gone and am not planning to go.

I love her compassion in camping and enjoying life it's self
Honestly, I never saw your channel before, which is surprising. I really enjoy your content. Very mellow and calm. Your not one of those people that just does bushcraft without talking. I like the interaction you have with the audience. I watch this a lot when I’m hiking and bushcrafting, great company!
Lol....aye ,
nowt to do with those leggings and whats in them,,,😂😂😂🤣😂🤣
Claire, what an amazing video! The scenery is amazing and you did a great job of bringing us along with you. Thankful for you sharing this adventure with us!
The water is so clear in Snowdonia, it's fabulous. That was so inspirational, even before the closing words. Thanks a lot for taking us with you.
Thank you so much Matt, yep the water is amazing! 💦💙
Things I love about these videos you make….
1. Your positive attitude

Keep doing what you do. It’s fab.

When I watch your videos it reminds me so much of time gone by taking my sons into the mountains. You are not just climbing and camping, you are creating memories for later too.
Aw that's nice 😊 I'll be taking my son to the mountains over summer, can't wait for that, best memories 🥰 Thanks so much for watching, hope you're having a lovely week :) Claire
Memories are a collection of moments in time and Claire has an abundant of precious ones to reflect on in years to come. An awesome lifes journey in a personal time capsule shared unreservedly with those of us wanting to be there too. Thanks for the memories girl. Bushyboy Oz.
Good she is safe, if this was in other countries she would have been raped
Wales is beautiful. Super video Clare. Just shows you don't have to stack in too many miles to experience lots of different scenery.
This was a B E A U T I F U L trip. You needed this. After that last excursion. Very happy this went very well after what you experienced. The best part is you got back up and moved on past it. That’s good. I’ve not seen all of your videos, but enough to know you are a crazy girl with a great attitude, and a reasonable amount of fearlessness. As a still photographer myself, I have to also comment: THIS was a great piece of filming and editing. It was crazy phenomenal! You always infuse so much positive energy and joy… but something about this trip and video was absolute next level. Can’t put my finger on it… but it’s like something “new” happened. Like a new chapter or something. The video captured it. My daughter needs to end her night watching this, so I’m sending her this video. You are a huge inspiration… thank you for posting these. Hailing from the across the pond in the States. All the best! 🙋🏻♂️
It really shows when you are happy, healthy and feeling good. What a lovely 24 hours in nature. It’s been so long since I’ve been far enough away from lights and the city to really see and enjoy the stars and night skies. Thank you for inviting me along.
I’m really enjoying watching your videos. I wanted to say thank you for showing a vulnerable side. I hike alone usually but I do scare myself sometimes, it’s really nice to see that I’m not alone. You’ve helped realise it’s probably not due to lack of competence more a lack of confidence. People don’t show their vulnerabilities too often it’s really refreshing to see in your videos so thank you it’s appreciated xx
That is some beautiful scenery you have there!! I enjoy watching your adventures in the wilderness of the UK. Thank you for another great video..
I do that same thing (solo tent camping ) every fall in the smoky mountains for 4 or 5 days chasing waterfalls and such. I am an old guy now close to 70 years but I adore being in the great outdoors as you do yourself...... my passion is photographing wildlife and in particular, bears.
Kudos to you for doing what you love and sharing it with us ! Cheers 👌

Such a beautiful trip in such a beautiful place. Love how you enjoy just being out there.
Bringing your spirit to visit the souls of those places, is an act of power and the highest magic.
Good effort!
As an Englishman who grew up in Essex, I dreamed of travelling. When I turned 25 I moved to Australia and drove half way around the continent in a 4x4 I turned into a micro camper. Lived in Tasmania too. My jobs were hilarious, was farming in random places. After that I lived in New Zealand for 2 years before coming home. I tried settling down, earned good money but become restless. I took to motorbike adventures in Europe, Wales, New Forest, IoW etc. Anyway I moved to Canada for 4 years living in the Prairies, “land of the living skies”. Loved road tripping, cabins by lakes n mountains. Oh the mountains!
Moved back to Berkshire, England and at 37, I’m falling madly in love with British countryside and culture. In the 8 months I’ve been back I’ve done the classic Snowden for the 4th time, Devils Kitchen, Lake District, Cotswolds walks, Bath/surrounding are walks and just recently chased the coastline in Cornwall.
I found your Chanel reviewing Rab bags, kitting up for the UK and doing research.
Keep on keeping on! This is living!
Loved this one, thanks for the reminder to be brave and go out there and get out of our comfort zones. You’ve helped me push forward to plan a trip I was a little too scared to do xx
Hi Rebecca, so glad you liked it, well done and have an AMAZING time out there :D 💚🌿
My English friends used to ask me why I always wore a Gore-tex jacket wherever I went, my stock reply was "I'm Welsh", they understood. It's so great that you were finally able to have the trip you hoped for, you really earned it, and thank you for being honest with your videos. Anything outdoors can be weather dependent and sometimes it just stinks, but you came back and the sun shone! Love your videos and love seeing the joy you find in nature. Keep going and stay floofy!
Hehe, yep, deffo understanding the jacket 😄 Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed this, felt special to me. I will, wishing you a floofy weekend 🤗🌿🐻 Claire
ClaireBeare: I’ve got one word for you… INSPIRATION.
As in, YOU are an inspiration to us all. Thanks a ton. 😊
Aw thank you so much Mike! Hope you're having a lovely weekend :) 🐻
Hi claire love your videos your a incredible inspirational woman keep em coming babe 😘
Yup, well said, nature is really beautiful and people cannot live without it and praying that they will soon realize that it is not too late to take care of it, for today and for the future generations, thanx for sharing, stay safe and be healthy.
Excellent content.Your a very inspiring person Clare.
As a Kiwi, Im really impressed how much available land is available to comfortably hike, and how beautiful the country is. I also like that you focus on where you are, not really about kit and gear. Keep it up, your channel is peaceful
That's high praise from a New Zealander
That's because Britain has public rights of way. Something NZ doesn't have. About the only thing I miss about the UK.
@@a.r.t.4611 But New Zealand is very thinly populated, I guess you can walk for miles and miles across perfectly pristine terrain in NZ without meeting anyone. And with all due respect to Wales and its scenery, New Zealand has more to offer in terms of natural landscapes.
@@ithinkthereforeitalk935 Except WildBeare 😍
I can't get over how beautiful the crystal clear the water is. Thank you for taking us along. Absolutely gorgeous views.
It's amazing isn't it! 💦💙 thanks for sharing this trip with me :D
Hello 👋 Claire, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing another peaceful and serene outing in nature. I really enjoy your videos. Always be safe out there. Take good care of yourself. I look forward to your next exciting outdoor adventure 😀. 🤗
Hi Ronald! Thank you so much for sharing this trip with me, glad you enjoyed it :) hope you have a great weekend, best wishes for UK :D 🌿🐻 Claire
I am so deeply moved by what you said near the tail end of your video….it struck a chord with me…very inspiring….well done….thank you for that!!!
This is truly awesome….
That was amazing ! Your love for the wild outdoors makes me unbelievably happy
Thank you! ✌️♥️😁
Aw yay, thank you so much for sharing it with me :D 🌿
An odyssey in an earthly heaven, and your music choices sit well with that achingly beautiful mountainous land and its ever changing skyscape, generated by the mountains and the winds.
These videos evoke so many memories of the long gone days when I too could roam those mountains, at one with nature, and feeling more alive than at any time in my life. The purity of that wild land, carved from geological upheaval, and refined and weathered by the winds, the rains and mists, the frosts and snows of countless aeons, just grabs me by the heart, and I'm so grateful to be able to see it again, through your eyes. Many many thanks, and please make many more videos of the exquisite perfection of that precious landscape. God bless you Claire and keep you safe.
You have such a gentle and free spirited soul, I love your videos which are so well made. You make the whole world seem to be at such peace with itself. So glad to be a subscriber of your channel.
Aw thank you so much Brian, I'm so glad you like my lil vids, I love to make them. When I'm out wandering about in these places that's how the world feels to me - at peace with itself 😊 hope you have a lovely week :) 🌿Claire
Oh wow! What an amazing landscape! And good video with the music. And the most thing is: A very beautyful girl!
Life opens up so much when you're brave .
You do amaze me with your adventures. You really do plan some fantastic walks. That looked amazing, very well done. Your videos are so well edited, your skills have improved so much since day one. You should be very proud of what you have achieved Claire. Such a beautiful spirit. ⛺️
Aw thank you Neil, that's very sweet of you to say ☺ I adored this trip so I'm very glad you enjoyed watching it. Hope you have a wonderful week :) 🌿 Claire
Hi Claire, it’s so good to see you out and happy again! Thank you for putting another beautiful video together as always. You are such a beautiful soul and this world is truly blessed to have you in it :) x
Aw thank you so much Stephen, that's very sweet of you, glad you enjoyed this, I loved it so much 😍Have a wonderful weekend :) Claire 🌿🐻
The scenery in your videos is always spectacular. Thank you for taking us to places we would probably never see otherwise.
Thank you Claire, for sharing your lovely videos, of you Wild Camping. I
d love to come back home, for a long holiday, to see & do all of the things that I wanted to do, back in 1970. But when you are a kid back then, you needed to do what & go where your parents said. I live in South Australia & have been doing a bit of camping, but am starting to get out in nature, more often now...love nature. I do, enjoy watching your videos, as through them, I am able to "transport myself back home, & take in the beauty of my beautiful Country, Cymru! With you being a lone Parent as well, is a great task in itself, well done. Thank you again, for your lovely videos.
Great trip Claire!! Thank you so much.
Well done to all the team on this one, Camera guys , Sound crew, the band, Helicopter crew, excellent work to make it all appear seamless.
😂
😂
Thank you Claire, I'm having a tough week but your video as usual has made me feel like I was with you on a relaxing time away from work. Your like the granddaughter that I wish I had. Love you little wild one.
Aw bless you Stephen, sorry you're having a tough week, big hugs! 🤗 So glad you enjoyed it, I loved this lil trip so much :) hope things get better soon! 🌿🐻 Claire
An excellent trip Claire! Thanks for bringing us along with you x Stunning scenery and vistas. Sometimes the best trips don’t have to be the hardest but the sense of achievement is so worth it. Well done!
Thank you so much Chris 😃this was a special one for me for sure. Have a great weekend :) Claire 🐻
Great closing comments. Every word rang true. Thank you for encouraging others to step out of their comfort zone so they too can experience new levels of personal growth. Your sense of adventure and willingness to challenge yourself will lead you right to where you are supposed to be. Cheers.
You put me is such a happy place. I'm currently in hospital battling colon cancer. I want to get back out there thanks to you.
Wow, backpacking alone for three days is a very difficult and great challenge. I salute my friend for her challenge. My friend from Korea is cheering for me. 👍 👍
Your best one yet! Really beautiful scenery and another joy filled commentary. Keep them coming please Claire.
Ahh, yay! Thanks so much :D Have a great weekend :)
Just happy to see people do this stuff. The filming, editing, planning but most important the getting out there that many will not. Awesome Claire! I didn't think the video would be this nice to watch and inspiring. Excellent!! Was nice to watch and all the best.
You're a natural beauty. 🤩
Love your videos !!
Beautiful words at the end about being free
Brought a tear to my eye
Thanks Claire 👍
The under water shots are amazing! The water is so clear, I love this. It reminds me of Northern California. Great drone clips also. Such beautiful country. It’s so true what you say about getting out of your comfort zone. Stay safe out there!✌🏽❤
Claire I really loved watching this episode, thank for you all the amazing time and trouble you put into making these videos. It’s funny but the eldest of my 3 granddaughters, Mollie who is nearly 4, you look how I would imagine her to be when she is your age. She is such a wonderful little sweetheart and it be my dream if she had the inspirations and passion for life like you have. Your videos inspire me as I love outdoors so much myself and I need to find inspiration to get back out after many years being stuck in a rut letting my depression get the better of me. But I am fighting back thanks to my 3 little cherubs and we have a 4th on the way, I am so blessed.
Loved the drone footage especially the Forrest ones with the wonderful classical music, it fits so well and is so relaxing. I watch a guy called Martijn Doolard and he does similar things but he’s a Dutch guy living alone in the Italian alps and he is restoring a stone house and living off grid. Like yours, his videos are just so calming, not so much talk but natural background sounds like you have, by the way, what equipment do you record your backgrounds as they are so crisp and clear and the video quality is amazing.
Oh gosh Claire, I so wish there were more people like you, you truly are a blessed and beautiful young woman, your little boy is so lucky to have such an amazing mummy. Sorry I will stop now
Bless you so much Claire, please take good care of yourself dear, you beautiful child of nature xx
Hi Chris! I'm so glad you liked it, thank you so much for your lovely words :) How blessed to have grandchildren, it must be lovely 🥰 I wonder if I will have them one day :D I'm so glad you're fighting back, I think sometimes we have to hit a real low before we can come up again, and that's a part of life - we can learn so much along the way
Mostly I'm just using the in-camera mic, the camera is a Sony ZV1.. it's great but it picks up EVERY sound including the sounds of the camera, the squeaking of the metal if I'm holding it on a stand etc, so sometimes it's picking up everything I don't want it to. Sometimes I use a Sony wireless mic to avoid this but then my hair ends up rubbing on it and making noises, or I'll have it on the wrong setting and sound like I'm shouting haha, I'm still learning all this stuff
Oh thank you, in truth it's me who is blessed to have him as a son, he is a remarkable boy and I am truly thankful to get to spend my time with him and raise him (although he's not so little now, being 10! Time is flying!)
Thanks again and wishing you a beautiful week 🌿Claire
This is by far the most beautiful and impressive hiking video I have seen. And it gives a great idea about the colourful landscapes of Wales. Perfect editing, mixing, music. I plan to watch all your videos ! Cheers !
Wales is still wild? I thought Industrial England murdered the countryside.
That ending brought a tear to my eye - so many of our souls are under-nourished x
Such a wonderful trip I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel your absolutely adorable too , I will be watching more what great content 😊
I've just come across your channel @WildBeare, and I haven to say, your video's are amazing!
Very inspiring, not only for the walks etc that you're doing. But your way of editing. Keep up the amazing content!
No shame in recognising your fear of heights... I get more nervous as I get older! Loved the video.. you are always an inspiration 🙂
Thanks Michael, I swear mine's getting worse again, thought I was making progress last year after doing Snowdon Watkin and Tryfan, but I seem to have taken somewhat of a step backwards 🤔 Not that it matters, but it's still something I'd like to get back to working on a bit. Thank you so much 😊 wishing you a wonderful weekend :) Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare I know just what you mean my nerves are all right but they are not as good as they were
Wonderfully relaxing and well edited video . UK expat here now living in America for the last 4, years . Brought great memories seeing how beautiful , peaceful and tranquil Snowdon is .
Welcome to the States. If you're in the Northeast, check out Northern New England. Lots of good places for all abilities.
So lovely, big Thanx for taking me with you, gorgeous girl and great nature!🏞🤗
Extremely effective beginning of the video, with a short music similar to Indian.....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You really have put yourself among the top tier of UA-camrs, amazing videos! The cinematography is excellent but what blows me away is the landscape. I live in the eastern USA, heavily forested, water everywhere, almost rain forest with the humidity. The landscapes you hike in are breathtaking! Not a tree for a hundred miles but absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing! You capture it so well! Is this protected land, public owned? Private? Incredible!
It looks like she is in Snowdonia which is a protected area but the land is mostly privately owned. Unfortunately we do not have strong land access rights in the UK, so wild camping is technically illegal without the permission of the land owner but that can be very difficult to obtain :(.
@@jakedethierful Thanks for the response, I’ll now be looking that up on Google Earth! If I caught her camping on my land I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be upset LOL.
@@jakedethierful In Scotland wild camping is not illegal, and is permitted in most places on unenclosed land anyway (which there is a LOT of) and there is a right to roam on open land responsibly. There have been some restrictions on camping by several lochs in the Loch Lomond National Park, imposed by the national park authority recently, but even there, in most of the Park camping is permitted. It is mainly loch sides in the Park, beside roads, where there has been some antisocial camping that the restrictions apply to. There has been debate though, that existing laws could have dealt with the antisocial campers. (The park is close to major population centres, which is part of the problem!) Camping in any of the sorts of places depicted in this video would be perfectly legal though in Scotland, even in the National Park I mentioned.
I have camped and bivvied many times, sometimes by roads and sometimes high up and have never had a problem there. I have also climbed all of the 282 Munros ( Scottish peaks above 3,000 feet) 3 times (and many much more times than that) and have never had any access problems, even before the right to roam laws were brought in. The deer stalking season, mainly between mid Augusat and late October, is the only time there may be a problem, but many shooting estates are happy to advise walkers and climbers of routes they can take, so as not to disrupt their activities during this period. The midges can make you feel unwelcome though in the summer in Scotland! (Actually, that should read "the midges do welcome you in the summer in Scotland!")
@@ymg8057 Yes, you can pretty much camp just about anywhere in the Scottish Highlands and any other unenclosed areas as well. Obviously not in someones garden and it would be daft to do so in a filed of cows, or whatever, but there is so much open land, you shouldn't have to. There is a right to roam just about anywhere as long as you are not causing damage and again not crossing peoples gardens etc.!
Just wanted to say a big thank you, your videos are so uplifting and inspiring. I've loved camping and hiking from a young age, now 63 with life's scars I've bought my first tarp , and am enjoying re kindling my love of the great out doors, the solitude, how insignificant you are in the greater picture. When im in nature I feel my problems float away. Thanks so much for getting me off my backside. ❤
This is by far your best trip Claire, thanks for showing us how wonderful this area is, only been here once to explore the coppermines and thought it looked a great place to wildcamp now I know for sure. Atb for your next outing
Thank you so much, I adored it! 😍 Yep it's a great place to camp, a few stretches of this I was the only person around for half a day or so, so lovely :) Have a great weekend! Claire 🌿🐻
There you are Clare! All tucked in and Safe and Warm!
Nature, fresh air and solitude. Wonderful..
Been watching your UA-cam for a while now and I must say you are inspiring. I've been hiking and wild camping for years now but always in a group never alone. Watching you and this post when you said you bottled it going up to high because your afraid of heights I was surprised because your always doing this stuff alone and it's hard enough being surrounded with friends let alone on your own. After watching this I've decided to do along through hike alone, something I've been thinking about for years. Thank you and keep doing what your doing. All the best,
Roy.
That was stunning - the view on your first night's camp was amazing !
I spent a lot of time and miles training in Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons in a past life. Your video brought back a lot of memories.
I took my daughter back up to the Isle of Skye last weekend - it's her favourite place in the world, so we go up there as often as we can. We did the Old Man of Storr and the Fairy Pools (yet again) and had an absolute blast. Knackered, but smiling 😄
Ahhh amazing! I'd LOVE to visit Skye 😍 One day! Glad you had the best time, making great memories 💚 Thank you and have a great weekend :D Claire
As someone from southern Europe, if I saw those dark clouds paired with a heavy rain forecast during May, I'd expect them to develop into thunderstorm clouds and be quite terrified to pitch at these places. So I am in awe of your confidence that all will be fine and lightning-free.
We don't get much lightning here, sadly, as I'd love to camp in a thunderstorm (although low down of course!) ⛈
Love ur enthusiasm for pure life..i love it..living the dream,living free
Also, the landscape is unbelievably beautiful!!!
Hi Claire what a fabulous camping trip! We absolutely love Beddgelert and the area around there. If you don’t know the legend then it’s worth reading! It always made me so sad as a child. You can visit the grave.
We found there was lots of ticks all over our dogs when we went to the forest☹️so I hope you didn’t get any! You are always an inspiration in your video’s and really make us feel like we are almost travelling with you. Take care and thanks again for a great camping trip! Love Helen & Andy Hogan ❤💐xxxx
Heyy Helen & Andy 👋 ooh yes, someone told me the legend a few years ago, very sad I agree, my son and I visited Beddgelert's grave last summer 🐕
Funny you should mention the ticks, I ran into someone on the second day, he said he'd been covered in them. I'm using permethrin on my outer garments, long socks, boots & rucksack now and since I started using it I've not encountered a single tick, it's bliss! They're usually all over me, horrible things give me anxiety
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing this trip with me 💚 have a lovely weekend :) Claire

Now that looked like an absolutely awesome and diverse backpacking trip Claire! Excellent video by the way! This is definitely one of my new favorites of yours for sure :) Loved the way you ended this... couldn't have been said more perfectly. I hope that you have an amazing weekend my friend! Stay wild.... -John
Thank you so much John, so glad you enjoyed it :D loved this trip. Hope you have a lovely week :) Claire🐻
You always do this to me Claire. I've just come back from 3 weeks driving\hiking in Scotland now I want to go to North Wales again. This area is spectacular and thank you for recording it all.

Hehe sorry, Scotland sounds incredible 😍 hope you had an amazing time, thanks for sharing my lil trip with me :)
I've been binge watching people lkke yourself just enjoying life to the simple pleasures and since I have some time off work I think I'll try this for a weekend. But tskjng notes so thank you for sharing, stay blessed and safe out there
I love how you thank all the spots, so sweet😊
Hi Claire, from the High Sierra mountains of Northern California. I love your peaceful countryside compared to mine. We have bears, mountain lions that lay on rocks above the trail and watch you go by, and the occasional mystical Bigfoot that comes into camp for a cup of coffee.🌹🐻
Beautiful and inspirational words at the end, paired perfectly with your adventure. It takes a great deal of courage and fortitude to venture into unknown terrain, trying out new equipment and having flexible plans.
As for the lanshan and seam sealing, check out Homemade Wanderlust’s last video in heavy rains. She had a similar spot leak despite her seam sealing. Luckily, it’s just a matter of touching up. 😁.
Thank you for taking us along on this journey!
Hi Linda, thank you so much for your lovely words ☺ Ooo yes so I've heard, I've re-done the seams since this video was filmed and am hoping to test it out soon in some rain 🤞 hopefully that'll do the job. Hope you're having a lovely weekend :) Claire 🐻
Glad I found your channel! This is perfect to show my wee girl to feed her enthusiasm for the outdoors 😁 there are loads of guys posting these kinds of videos, but not enough ladies! Thank you for your effort and high quality videos, you're the kind of person I want my wee girl watching as she can relate to you and your adventures. We're off to the forest tomorrow for an adventure, one of your videos over lunch I think 😊 happy trails and thanks again! 😊
i cannot say how delighted i am to have discovered this channel. This has made my morning, thank you
Keep inspiring campers. Great place. Tent and skill. Everything is great even the food. Keep safe.
Your so lucky to have such beautiful landscape to adventure in! I live in Las Vegas and the camping here is terrible! Dust, heat and strong wind is all I got here.... I'm so jealous! So now I'm your new subscriber so I can live through you on your adventures. Good luck and God bless.
Amazing video as always Claire! Epic views and really captured the sense of adventure in the edit, the lanshan served you well (apart from the flooding) and looks really stealthy its almost like the hilleberg sand colour.. catch you in the next one 👍
Mr Badger! 🦡🦡 How the devil are you 🦡🦡🦡🦡 Aw thank you so much, loved this trip 😍 Yeh I'm hoping I can get the Lanshan watertight as really like it otherwise.. I've re-done the seams since so just need to test it out in some rain 🤞Have a great weekend in your sett 🦡😄 Claire 🐻
Again great vid. The things I enjoy the most, your kind heart, awesome humor, genuine presentation, and inspirational words and actions. Watching your vids actually make me feel better! So, from sunny Florida, US, I say keep rocking on!! Awesome job!! Thanks ;-)
“Thank you waterfall” I loved that. 👍
2nd watch. Your thoughts opinions knowledge shared greatly appreciated!
At my strongest in my 20's four decades ago I couldn't reach the figurative and literal mountain tops that you do Claire. My adventure camping on hikes lots of woods.
Your photography is breathtaking
Music is perfect and majestic
Thanks Claire. I've been binge-watching your channel since I came across it the other day, love it! So relaxing watching your adventures but also motivating me to go on some wild camps too this summer :D
Ahh yay, love to hear this, hope you have an amazing time, it's a proper love affair this camping lark 😍 Welcome to my lil channel, so glad you're liking my vids and thank you for watching and commenting :) Happy Camping! 💚🏕🌿 Claire
Great video, well made, edited & presented. Very inspiring, I intend doing a solo wild camp because I often struggle with depression & anxiety. We do a lot of high peak hiking which helps but I feel the time has come for some alone time to find myself again. We get out as a family to hopefully inspire others.
Love The Shackletons ❤️
Nothing "solo" about this! 🤔
Just brilliant Claire, beautifully filmed.. such a great 3-day adventure that! 🙌🏻
I’ve been planning my first multi-night wild camping adventure, I’ll be heading up to the Lakes next month for that, can’t wait! 😊
I was on the Long Mynd the other week in Shropshire, that’s an amazing place too, they even have wild pony’s up on there - can highly recommend that one to you for a visit..
Great little round❤️
Thanks @wildbear shows you don’t need to travel loads of miles to have an amazing adventure! Bless you.
Your words at the end, so inspiring, I loved it. I don't visit Wales often enough, I will now.
