Hey Wild Ones 👋 It’s been a mad few weeks here for me! My secret project has been attempted, I’m still alive (hurray!) and the video is next on the editing pile. It involves 5 nights, 6 days, the longest walk of my life so far and is altogether slightly nuts. It’s coming next :D But, it is the longest time I’ve ever been out so it’ll likely be a long video and take me a long time to edit. Very excited to get stuck into it. Hope you’re all good and coping ok with this cold summer we’ve been having, pretty rubbish isn’t it. Much Love, CB 🌿🐻Xx
Following sheep trails can get you stuck on cliffs as sheep are famous for getting stuck
wales is magical
looking forward to see it
ha so this is the 1st part of the video when the sky was on crack and how weird but beautiful that was
looked like when you took a dip it looked dam cold
Can't wait! X
Love the new map graphic with the moving Claire figure.
hehe thanks! I drew it myself :D
YES! And the animal-montages as well as the sound effects always crack me up! 😃
Gerald is so disappointed.
At 83 years of age my days of solitary wandering in the wild are over, so I value the vicarious experience of coming on your trips. I have to say that the quality of your filming and editing gets better and better. Keep going: you remind me of what I used to do and help evoke happy memories.
Hi, so glad you can 'come along with me' for these :D thank you so much, I love learning the filming & video creation stuff, tis good fun. Have a lovely weekend 🌿🌿
Then along came Claire, a ray of sunshine in a dismal world. Thanks Claire.
"Get off Gerald! Oh come on Dierdre" David Attenborough eat your heart out😂😂😂

I absolutely love these videos mainly because of how chill they are and Claire is one of the most down to earth people on UA-cam she seems amazing just a genuine unique human ❤️
aw thank you :) 🌿
I was so . . . happy for you that you've finally got to camp without a torrential rain. THEN you drench your shirt, pour a bottle of water over yourself, and even soak your hat. You're full of surprises Claire. Thank you for sharing!
What an experience you have had. Some people travel all the way to the arctic circle to see the lights and leave disappointed. I'm 71 and never seen them. That's something you will never forget. 👍👍👍
I travelled to Iceland last year to see the Northern Lights, and they forgot to switch the lights on. Hoping that our return trip there this October is a bit more successful!
yeh I still can't believe it, so amazing. Hope you'll see them at some point :) maybe they'll be back
@@bujin1977 ahh hope you catch them this time round! I went in October too and saw them, pale green ribbons in the sky, nothing like this though
I caught some Can't -Escape-Civilisation ones and WOW. There are no words. My sister and I shouted so much. Pink effing pillars. When does lower Michigan ever get that? Very lucky indeed.
That Northern Lights timelapse was absolutely gorgeous!
I'm still envious that you got to see the northern lights in that environment.
Thanks for taking us along on another adventure!
Never lose that sense of wonder, it's what keeps us young.
I've lost my nerve and solo camp in the garden ! Your videos keep motivating me so thank you.
'Lost nerve' .. I don't even have a garden 😏 . The closest I have come to doing a 'home' overnighter, is testing my sleeping bags during the coldest Winter nights on my third floor flat balcony with all glass doors wide open 😁. I do though, regularly cook on the balcony when 'home-alone' babysitting the Pooch and when testing new 'home-grown' alcohol burners, pot stands, and such .. and new recipes, before taking them outside.
hey it's a night out :D I don't have a garden but if I did I'd be using it for sure 🌿💚🏕 hope you had a good time
You are still doing better than most people. One day at a time.
I've had many nights in gardens!
Nowt wrong with that. I’d never get my kids to enjoy camping if it was not for the fun they have doing it in the garden.
Plus it’s only quick dash to the house to dive into bed and hide under the duvet if there is a scary noise outside. 😂 oh yes been there
It's not about the destination.. it's about the journey 😊 Great upload x
Thank you 💚 yep I agree, have to remind myself sometimes though haha
😍 The waterfalls were magnificent! Scary Hill was very steep, I don't blame you for turning around. The aurora was out of this world. All of your decisions put you in that spot for a reason. 😊 Wow, you knocked 28 kilometers! 💪👏 Amazing trip Claire, thank you! 🌲🏕🌲
Thanks :D Mm often the lil hills I find scarier than the big ones as you can just slip right off them 😄 thanks for watching, have a lovely week
Claire my father constantly used to say " No matter where you go, there you are." I believe he would have picked you to be the poster child for that phrase. Improvise and overcome, and what do you get- waterfalls and Northern Lights. That is a pretty amazing trip. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Heyy ahh that is a brilliant saying, I love it! Yes it's funny how things turn out sometimes 😍 thank you for sharing this with me :) have a great week
“Dreamy” is the only way I can describe you and your videos ☺️
Aw thanks! :) 💚
Waterfalls, mountains, wildlife, northern lights and Claire to guide us. Life is good. I’m sorry your pack is much heavier because of us, your videos bring me great joy.
Haha oh don't be sorry I love the filming.. I could make it lighter if I wanted to but I can't bring myself to cut the camera gear 😄 thank you for watching my lil video :)
Waterfalls are probably my favorite hiking destination. The sound of moving water soothes me like nothing else. Falls, streams, waves, etc as long as they make noise I'm happy.
Not only is she very beautiful, but Claire is one of the greatest videographers on UA-cam right now - her videos have a very high level of professionalism, to the level that I’m surprised she hasn’t been employed by a TV company yet….
Please do not ever let yourself get enslaved working for someone else.. Please keep doing your channel and doing you, just as you are, so refreshingly authentic.
I am so glad you were able to experience the northern lights out there.
filming it might be _half_ the fun for you, but its _all_ the fun for us - thanks for sharing!
Claire, you never fail to feed the hunger for adventure! Amazing photography too, and very inspiring for me personally to brush off the cobwebs and get back out in nature. Thank you. X
You are a beautiful person in every way, and so brave. It’s a great joy and privilege to watch your adventures. Thank you for sharing.
Why so brave? Because she's a woman in a bikini?
We really enjoy your travels and videos and your up beat humor and personality. Thanks for taking us along
So lucky, alone in the wild and catch the effects of a solar storm! Beautiful!
Very refreshing to see someone just go do some camping with no definite plans, and also makes wise decisions on the trek. Love your content.
Thanks so much :)
It's great and unexpected when things don't go according to plan. The Northern Lights are magnificent! Thank you, Claire, for sharing magical moments! 🏕️🌌💚
Thank you for taking us with you, love! It was a wonderful journey!
🥰😘🙏
That countryside is drop dead gorgeous. What a beautiful place to live. 🌹
What a magical hike. Not just the Borealis but the environment in general. From a distance of 6000 miles and 30 years, you allowed me a sense memory of the way everything feels and smells about Wales. I miss it, so thank you WildBeare for your Channel, and for bringing wonderful memories back into my consciousness.
Ahh that's far, it's a special place isn't it. So glad to bring it back to you :) thanks for sharing it with me
This video was wonderful, thank you so much for not spoiling the surprise in the thumbnail or the title and sharing some of that captivating experience with us. The universe is an amazing place, you were so lucky to see that fantastic show.
YAY! So pleased to see lil' Claire on her adventures! You are an absolute joy to watch and listen to! Thanks as always. Looking forward to seeing your BIG adventure !
Thank you so much :D I'm working on it now, gonna be long, and a bit different. Have a great weekend 🌿🌿
Another series of apparent failures or circumstances leads to staggering success. What a memory! Wish I'd been there. I'm sure you'll cherish that one forever.
Always a joy to follow your adventures! It's crazy that a channel as amazing as yours still exists on this God forsaken platform, but man, am I happy about it ❤
haha thanks! :D 💚
Always a good day when Claire uploads a new video. Thanks Claire
So glad you got to experience the northern lights. We could see the southern lights (Aurora Australis) during the same time. It was absolutely amazing!
That was a very interesting trip! To see the aurora must have felt really special.
I’m always pleased to see you make sensible decisions when things aren’t right.
Thanks for sharing another wonderful video. Stay safe, Claire.
It was so special :) 💚Thank you
The quality of your videography and editing is really outstanding. I really enjoy your videos not just because of the terrific content, but also because of the super high standards of video and audio. Thank you!
Ahh thanks! Audio I find the hardest what with wind / water etc and being on the move. And mics often cause more issues than they solve so it's a real learning curve. Appreciate you watching my videos :) hope you have a great week 🌿
I love those longer videos! Keep 'em coming! Stunning view you got there on your 2nd night, it such a blessing and as you said, a once in a lifetime experience! 💝
Thank you aw yeh it was so special ❤ ohh the next video is gonna be very longgg. My longest ever I reckon :D
Great video as ever, watching your adventures is the perfect antidote to the daily grind. I'm so jealous that you got to see the northern lights like that, doesn't get much more special than that.
You are such a beautiful wonderful inspiring kind person woman. You bring so much positive pleasure and happiness to so many.thank you. ❤
The best camping memories for me are when disasters happen and I am able to put it right, and those magical once in a lifetime moments occurring during the same trip. I make sure not to be stupid and focus on fortitude. I embrace your style of camping and thank you for your educational posts. You have taught me so much! I love solo camping in the wilderness. ❤
One of those moments in life to remember for ever, great video Claire Thanks for taking us along.
I’d say it was a smashing adventure. Thank you Claire for bringing us along
Thank you Claire for all your videos, being stressed at work then watching these takes me away from all that 🙏 free medicine keep them coming. Steve
Hi Steve, aw I'm so glad, hope today has been less stressful :) thanks for sharing this with me
The scenery looked amazing, especially the night sky, thank you Claire❤❤😊
Appreciate you carrying and the extra gear to film and share w your viewers. Excellent footage on this one. Thanks again!
Wonderful video! Between the beautiful scenery and your beautiful smile, all very uplifting! Thanks for taking us with you.
Thank you so much, so grateful to share it with you :D
Grateful for your time having an adventure. Love watching ❤
This one didn't go to plan (but it was pretty special)' is a wonderful portrayal of adventure and resilience in the face of unexpected challenges. I enjoyed following along on your journey through the wilderness and witnessing the beauty of nature. Your positivity and storytelling made it a truly memorable experience!
What an amazing trip. I know it didn’t go as planned but I love that you know when it’s best to turn back and just do it. The northern lights completely eclipsed the beauty of the bluebells, my word! That hillside covered in bluebells! And the valley views, like when you zip open your tent to that view! Wow! Thank you for bringing us along.
Thank you for a wonderful trip. It was interesting to spend this journey with you in these incredibly heavenly places. I hope you are not too tired climbing the hills, because we are waiting for a new journey. Take care and see you in a new adventure.
Nothing but beautiful views. Thank you ❤ 🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽
What a lucky lady you are too see that
And how lucky are we you share it with us ❤
Thank you very much 😊
Also I wanted to say don't worry about cutting your adventure short things like that happen it isn't a nice feeling especially if you have a plan and things don't go as they should, you should be proud of how far you went you inspire me to do more walking even if I don't go hiking or camping I do more exploring and thats thanks to you Claire you are a legend and I hope you know you have a true fan right here ❤
I love that you keep all the natural sounds in the videos especially the waterfall sound (makes me wanna pee 😂) just lush and may I add I freaking love how positive you are just a pleasure to watch how you make the best of every situation.
Thank U so much Claire to share your amazing adventures in this beautiful country ❤❤
I was worried there is something wrong with this lil video-I could not see any rain! 🙃
Thank you for taking us all with you once more.
Haha yeh, I got battered all winter and since then I've barely had any, starting to miss the chaos a bit 😄 thanks for watching :)
Sometimes, the best trips are unplanned, or things go wrong, and then, as if by magic, the most unbelievable things happen! What an experience you had with the Northern Lights - super lucky and it all came together at the right time. Yes, you were tired, and the trip was cut short, but who cares, having experienced one of the most magical things on the planet! Now you are glad you carried the camera equipment! I love the quote, "Happiness is only real when shared", and I am pleased you shared this with us all - excellent and well done :) Ian
It’s better to be safe and alive so you can keep your audience entertained, your amazing in what you do, thanks ❤❤
Thank you 💚
Great vid, lovely scenery, some trips that don't go to plan can turn out special, some things happen for a reason, thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for being so motivated, Claire! You are Brave and Never give up - Pleasure to watch! 💯
Your videography is exceptional as is the landscape. I enjoyed your map graphics and the skull count as well, a bit of delightful humor. Thank you, Claire!
Thanks so much :D 🌿🐑💀
"Bailing" on the first hill is assessing the risk. Alone and with your hypermobility. You are taking care of yourself. A tumble and you may do serious damage. So you do not need to apologise to anyone, including yourself.
Seeing the wonders of the solar particles hitting the atmosphere is more that enough for this trip. The light AND an new PB for skulls. What more do you want from a single trip, Claire. :)
Heyy thanks yeh I seem to get more aware of risk the older I get 😄 it really was beautiful wasn't it 😍 and it'll be a while before I find more than 4 skulls I reckon haha. Thanks for watching :) hope you have a lovely weekend
@@WildBeare Itwas beautiful. I had a fine weekend. Older just means you are better at assessing risks. Not that it stops anything. You can still charge in “where angels fear to tread”. You understand what you are doing. 😎
Always look forward to your videos Claire! You are very special entertainer good for the soul!
Aw yay thank you so much :D have a lovely week 🙂
What absolutely magical terrain! That light show is something I have never seen in real life but it is on the bucket list.
What a place to be to experience the Northern Lights like that.
Loving the new map inserts. Scary hill 😂
And Socially Awkward Sheep.
Always a good day sleeping under the stars. Blessings to you Wild Beare.
Blessings to you too friend 🌿
I am sort of envious that you had a front row seat to one of the most beautiful events in nature. (I missed it...) Glad you got to experience it and share it with us!!
A beautiful video, and the northern lights were just magical. Thanks for sharing.
Claire is back😃
Helloooo :D 👋
@@WildBeare Love your videos
@duncankilburn7612 thank you :D
@@WildBeare Our common love of astronomy is the key.
Nice Mr Kipling's slice for morale in the evening, good choice! 😂
Not just good, exceedingly good 🙂
I do like a Mr Kiplings haha
@@WildBeare I made my initial silly comment half way through but having now seen the whole video, I've got to say that was amazing! I think your title completely under-sells the amazingness of what happens in the video - like the exact opposite of clickbait! (Not saying you should change your titles - you do you - just that the title gave me zero expectation and the video delivered, quite literally 'infinity and beyond' as dear old Buzz was fond of saying...!)

❤thank you so much Claire
The best times, are the one`s that don`t a plan, these are the 1`s you`ll remember the most, I believe that this 1 was 1 of you`re best videos, keep going.
Crocked trips are often the best. Just being a part of it all, just make you feel complete.
That night was so beautiful the night we got the biggest solar storm event in years. The sky truly looked alive.
it was something else wasn't it! 🩷💜💚 glad you got to see it too
Beautiful smile . I've seen the Northern Lights from the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota, the 50th parallel in Saskatchewan, and this year, for the first time ,in northern Colorado. The only thing that is consistent about them is that they're never the same . I've never seen them with that much red/pink . Thanks again.
I am a fairly recent subscriber to your channel. I find myself binge watching your videos at times. You are such a ray of sunshine Claire!!! Thanks for sharing your amazing adventures
Love the content always have but don’t become one of them thirst trap camp girls this thumbnail is exactly like they do it takes away from the camping and just shouts click bait to me.

Gorgeous landscape out there Claire.
Lovely adventures as well.
I am constantly blown away by the beauty in all of your videos.
Each video is such a treat, thank you!!
Wow, that night sky and lights was special 🌠🗺
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. We really enjoy and look forward to your no bs commentary on what you’re doing and seeing and especially feeling 😊. You are truly blessed for living in such a beautiful area
Thumbnail champion right here.
Another inspirational and wonderfully edited video.
That brings a much needed Ray of Sunshine into what thus far has been a dismal spring and summer in the wilds of the North Yorkshire Moor.❤
The Solar Storm was really beautiful wish that I had been there to witness the phenomena for myself.
This was fab! You are not unfit at all, a two night wild camp/hike is not easy. Love love love your videos x
Claire, your vids are so wonderful! You paint such a beautiful picture of your experiences with cameras and words. ❤
It was a privilege to join you experiencing the northern lights. You may have been alone during the event Claire. But so many of us were thrilled you experienced it, it was lovely to see you in awe/disbelief of it all. Absolutely wonderful 😊
Ahh thanks, so glad to share it :) such a special thing
What a glorious trip, thank you for sharing it.
Thank you for some lovely views, and great scenery. Now I'm old I cant do walks in the hills anymore so its great to see all the countryside that I cant get to anymore. Thanks again.
Beautiful on all counts! Thanks for sharing!
Great video Claire, time lapse of the Northern Lights was fantastic 😊
Thank you for sharing images of those wonderful lights!
"My fears lead me to fail on the first hill." Nope, they lead you stay safe, and ultimately meant that you ended up in the most ridiculously awesome spot for the northern lights. ❤
What an amazing adventure, many thanks for taking us with you.
I really donˋt know what to say…. maby WOW!!! It must be one of your most beautifully videos ever 🤗 Thank you Claire ! ❤ Take care!
Its fun watching you walk about! And swim- and smile and your voice is so sweet.😎👋👋👋
