    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

      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!

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.

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

    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! 🙋🏻‍♂️

    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

    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!

    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.

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

    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!

      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 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.!

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,

    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!

      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
