Extremely well made. This must surely be among the best outdoors videos on UA-cam now. Congrats in advance on reaching 100.000. It won't be long now and it will be well deserved. Shared.
Ahh Bjorn, thank you so much, means so much to me 🥲 can't believe it keeps going up 😄 Hope you have a lovely week, big wild hugs from England (and Wales!)
I must agree. Superb!
@@CRE1625 Bjorn is one helluva man. And a very smart one at that.
You seem like the exact opposite... I mean your name says it all. You're proud that you're dysfunctional. You're the one that bleating.
I hope you find yourself. And maybe... just maybe figure out what true freedom is.
Much love my dysfunctional brother ❤ 💙 🙏 💛 ♥ 💕 ❤ 💙 🙏 💛 ♥ 💕
@@CRE1625 He doesn't moan in his videos.. he calls out the world for what it is. Something most "men" don't do enough of.
2 fair legends.Beare and Bull.
I doubt you realize how much your videos impact your viewers.It's huge .you're a "breath of fresh air" in this world we live in.I don't have the words to tell you how much what you are doing means to me and so many others.Love
Your summary of life at the end had me in tears. I am a 63 yr old woman - still having my solo outdoor camping adventures in New Zealand, living life to its fullest. My husband and family don't understand what the pull is, but you described it beautifully. Thanks for sharing with us and may God bless you and your little family as you continue to live out your dreams and enjoy the world around you.
Hi fellow kiwi 👋
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you're still getting out there and I only hope I will still be out in the wild places when I'm in my 60's (and 70's haha) too. Your country looks absolutely beautiful and I hope I will be able to visit one day :) Wishing you the same, happy trails and best wishes from UK 🤗🌿💚
O wow the tiny island of "special " kids with a dopey unqualified female leader, giving the real people's money to the natives and single moms🤮🙄
That ending was.... WOW .Words of wisdom, ADVENTURE, love, and pure "life living ".
Thanks for taking us along with you!
Have fun, be safe, and enjoy.
Having only recently found your channel Claire, I want to thank you for your serenity and gratitude for the beauty around you. What an antidote to everything else that's going on.
Aw thank you Dan 🤗 and welcome to my lil channel :) hope you have a beautiful week 🌿 Claire 🐻
Sometimes we forget what a beautiful world we live in
I wasn't expecting that ending Claire! I think you perfectly encapsulated why we all love going on these adventures & our desire to seek them out from that of our everyday lives.
Thank you so much 🤗🌿
You are not an ordinary woman, you are an extraordinary woman with a beautiful outlook on life and adventure. Never stop doing these x
What I see is a good mom that takes care of her son and her self the best way you can and dose what you love doing that's all that matters
What spectacular scenery! Thanks for introducing us to the beauty of Snowdonia Claire what a great trip.
Thanks Robert, so beautiful isn't it 😍 have a lovely week! :) 🌿 Claire 🐻
I am one of your old faithful followers. I really like your habit of thanking the elements of nature that you encounter (thank you forest, thank you campsite, etc.). It’s a beautiful attitude that demonstrates real respect for the natural world around us. At first I found it cute, now I see something much deeper in it. I try to incorporate now this gratitude into my oudoor adventures. Thank you for sharing so well your adventures with us. Cheers from Québec! 🥰 "Hi fren" 😁
Oh Claire, the ending brought a tear to my eye, you are such a beautiful person in and out and your videos make my heart glad. The smile on your son’s face tells you exactly what a wonderful person you are, indeed it was his smile that did it for me, you’re doing a wonderful job as Mum, provider and adventurer.
If truth be known, your videos are my guilty pleasure; my comfort food. Having 10 grandchildren and constantly looking after 3, 4 or 5 of them on a daily basis is stressful at times. One in particular, (21 month old) is so clingy to me that he is a proper Gang’s boy and a handful at times. At the end of a long day looking after the grandchildren your videos totally de-stress me and take me to a different world. So thank you Claire for sharing your wonderful videos and the little snippets of your life. You are far from ordinary, you’re extraordinary. Your sparkling personality outshines that of any diamond.
Enjoy the rest of your week Claire and thank you once again. 🐻 🌿⛺️
Hii, ahh thank you so much, my son is an amazing person 🥰 such a lovely boy, funny, great company, I am so blessed in so many ways. If he still likes to come out with me when he's big enough to carry an overnighter rucksack, we'll have some amazing adventures together too :D although we already have some wonderful little adventures now 🥰
Woww that is a lot of grandchildren!! So lovely but also must be hard for you.. I'm quite content being a mum-of-one (and a lover of peace 😄) so I have the most respect for those raising or looking after many little ones at once. I remember the clingy age, deffo feel for you haha!
Glad you manage a bit of respite at the end of the day, wishing you rest and a bit of tranquility 🤗 it is an amazing thing that you're doing
Thank you so much for your kind words, means a lot 🌿 Claire 🐻
I thoroughly enjoy the videos. Not the usual gear talk and ADHD-editing, just joy of being in the nature and also telling when things go wrong. Keep it up and please don't fall to that, I know the temptation is there for the money, but clearly you really love doing trips and not just reviewing and advertising gear.
You are more ... extraordinary than you know. You not only get to be an ... adventurer, you allow SO many of us to tag along and be one too. Thank you for ALL of the wonderful videos!!! In peace.
Hi Clare, The Natasha and Debbie Show reacted to this video today, and I had to come over to your channel and subscribe. What an amazing video, and what an inspiration you are.
You have a brilliant way of putting the natural world into perspective Claire ! Absolutely stunning !
uhh Claire...that was epic! On a par with your 3 days in the Rhinogs , and that's saying something. I just absolutely love your films. I'm just an old codger of 77 years so my days of hiking and wild-camping are over, but, as you say, the memories DO stay with you for a lifetime. You are such an inspiration, and your editing skills, music-choices are the best; but most of all, what shines through is your beautiful personality. Making memories is surely what life's about eh. I wish you many years of the same, and thanks for sharing these moments. :)
Hii 👋 ahh really, thank you so much! :D I remember you saying you had watched the Rhinogs trip a few times so that's quite a compliment! The Rhinogs was so wonderful and always special to me being my first multi-night, this one was right up there with it, it made my heart glad 🥰 Thank you for sharing this with me and for your lovely encouraging words, wishing you a beautiful week 🤗🌿 Claire 🐻
What do you mean "your hiking days are over" I'm 74 and still out there. It's not over till it's over. All the best Cheers from NZ
Claire, you are such a beautiful person, and thank you so much for sharing your adventures across England! Such beautiful country, I had no idea how gorgeous the countryside is!
Wishing you all the best on your next adventures. Cheers from the US!
@@raleighthomas3079 Aw thank you Raleigh, I had no idea either until I started venturing out to lesser-known places, amazes what we have hidden away 😍 this one is in North Wales, it's one of my favourite places in the world 💚
@@mountainmantararua8824 Absolutely agree. Have health issues since getting covid. Good for you. :)
outro at the end was great - great to see someone being in the now experiencing the nature around , rather then stuck with their head in their phone worrying what everyone else thinks - great job!
What a nice excursion. Wales is such a beautiful country during summer so thanks for taking us on your adventure!
Holy cr*p, Snowdonia is beautiful ...
You don't make vids! You make experiences! I am so glad someone brought this ch to my attention! You are inspiring!
Fantastic! Your ability to capture the moment and how you showcase the natural beauty of the UK’s wild country is by far the best I have ever seen! Thank you
I want to thank you for you videos, I am Australian but my family are Welsh you show me the beautiful of the home country.
Absolutely loved this one! The bit at the end... explaining your everyday life and having moments of being on adventure... made me tear up a bit! It's so easy to get lost in the day to day... especially being a parent (on top of all the other adult responsibilities), there's always so much to do for everyone else, we often forget about ourselves. I've actually learned allot from you channel.... not just the adventure bits, but also reminding me to turn inward, to be content/find happiness within myself, and enjoy the little things just as much if not more than the big things. It's not about having all these expensive material things, but the happiness and gratitude of the everyday.
Heyy, yep I think its so important to take care of our needs so that we can be fulfilled and be the best parents / partners / daughters / etc that we can be :)
Mm I agree, I've never been much into material things (aside from the gear I use to go on these trips and film them of course 😄) but I think for me, experiences and memories and actually 'living' is so much more valuable 💚
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing this lil trip with me 🤗 Hope you have a lovely week :) Claire 🐻

Brilliant video wild trekking good name for it.
I caught it on the Natasha and Debbie page and they certainly enjoyed it.
as I commented there it took me back 50 years when myself and a few friends were walking and camping those same trails.
We tried the 14 peaks walk a few times but weather always got in the way :)
Eventually we did it but over 2 days not one.
Not a GRWM or skincare routine in sight! Just river water and mountains for this gal!! 🥰
Challenged, Living, Adventurous, Inspirational, Real, Enthusiastic. One your best Claire.
Incredible Claire. Seeing you grow has been a pleasure to behold and watch. Your son will grow up being incredibly proud of his mum for sure 👏👏👏
Claire, you are hardly an ordinary person, you have an amazing depth of wisdom for such a young soul, A very beautiful trip, thanks for sharing it with us. Wishing you all the success you deserve for the future.
I just adore your channel. You have a sense of adventure, and at the same time, you have a beautiful, calm soul.
It's wonderful to watch someone who is in tune with herself and this beautiful planet. I ❤️ that you challenge yourself, but know how to keep yourself safe.
You show us some absolutely beautiful scenery. Those waterfalls and pools looked just divine.
Always be you, and stay safe x
Such a genuine beautiful person, so honest and humble.
YOU ARE AMAZING 🎉
Haven't been to Snowdonia since I was at school in the UK over 50 years ago before I left to live in Australia. Your hiking and camping experiences are vastly different to those I encounter. You spend lots of time with magnificent views whereas my time is frequently spent bashing through dense bushland with the views earned only after breaking out onto alpine heath above 1000m asl. Inspiring videos. Look forward to those that follow.
You say "stay with me a lifetime" make it last a 'lifetime' never stop doing it. I have never stopped , I'm still out doing it. I will die in the hills. My beloved mountains call to me everyday and I answer and have answered for over 50 years. All the best in your adventures. Cheers from NZ
That trip was epic Claire, very well done!
Your son has been blessed with a very special “Mom”….🥰🌹
This was an amazing trip. Between your positive and sweet attitude and awesome areas that you go through, you have become my number one backpacking channel. Please keep the adventures going and stay the same person you are. I really look forward to your videos.
Stunning, all of it.
The falls were absolutely beautiful. What a perfect place to live and a perfect place to die. Thanks for your adventure.
How beautiful you are imagine our world if everybody just have a quarter of what you have❤❤ You are so beautiful thank you for sharing a little bit of your private life. You have a beautiful son. I know he’s proud of his mom❤ Much love and God’s blessing
That was brilliant Claire. What an adventure. No tick nightmare this time either! Love your channel. ATB, take care.
You are a veritable water baby. You cannot resist plunging into every water pond. I used to do that on hot days backpacking in the Lake District, many years ago, so refreshing.
Awesome journey this one Claire with scenery to die for. What invites me to follow you is the fact that you are a normal mum .. passionate about the outdoors and it shows in the exceptional quality and authenticity of your vlogs. Plus you do what most don't do and that is you use your maps to tell us the story of your adventures. Absolutely first class entertainment. Thanks for sharing your wonderful life in nature. Bushyboy Oz.
I started backpacking when I was 25 back in 1982. I have always had a love for all things outdoors; the animals, trees, a good trail, a challenge. The quiet joy of a still half asleep sunrise. Or a tired but happy sunset. I have found my peace with God and hope you have to. He speaks to us from his creation of his love, and joy, and peace. My back and knees wont allow me to do long packs anymore. But I still walk to a mountain overlook or stop by a bubbling forest tarn just to listen and smell the flowers, the pines, and the moss. I now also enjoy watching videos like yours. You capture the peace and joy of being in creation and a part of it. I have many good treks under my belt. And they all still speak to me. As does my Father. Stay safe and be wise dear woman. And keep growing.
"The mountains are calling and I must go." John Muir
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
Psalms 8:3-4
That was an absolutely GORGEOUS 3 day hike! Such an amazing trip!
Love to see her jumping and frolicking around like a beautiful fairy
Great videos! Genuinely given me a kick up the arse to get out there & get out of my comfort zone. Keep on doing what your doing 🙏
Enjoy your company Claire , showing me the beautiful outdoors in the UK via your UA-cam channel. Looking forward to your next. Appreciated. You are a natural Claire, the content is always amazing and your commentary and wonderful attitude. Thankyou
It’s been wonderful to watch your journey thus far. Your confidence and competence have grown; I truly think this was one of the most beautiful journeys you have taken. How perfect, finishing at the sea! And, of course, your skillful videography and editing brings us along with you when we ourselves can’t be in the wild. Truly a spectacular trip! Thank you for sharing. I smiled through it all, swept up in your delight!
To be absolutely alone and thrive happily is a very rare trait
just watched your vid with Natasha and Debbie show and after that i had to subscribe , loved the video , ty so much for sharing , we live on the east coast in Lincolnshire so is about a 4 hr drive to wales , cant wait
Another beautiful location. No wind just everything beautiful. Thank you Claire for taking us along on your adventures. Have a super wonderful day.
Another brilliant adventure Claire, well done. Those sunsets and the views across the mountains were truly spectacular! You really are living the good life. A simple pack on your back with all you need for a few days out in nature. What better way to get away from it all. Epic stress-buster...
Thanks Dave, yep it's so simple isn't it, a rucksack and nature, good for the soul. Thank you for sharing this with me, hope you're having a lovely week :) Claire 🐻
Wifey and I love your videos , you are an inspiration to us all long May you smile and live your best life , peace and love ❤
What a fantastic video Claire. In my opinion your best ever yet. The camera work and narration second to none. So relaxing to watch, makes you want to be there to experience it all. Many thanks for the effort you put into these wonderful videos. Can’t wait till your next one.
You are a very inspiring, humble, good natured and beautiful woman. Women should strive to be more like you.
What an amazing video, this was wonderful Claire! It's so good to see someone living their dream like this and proof that we don't need to be millionaires to be happy! Thank you for sharing your seriously uplifting and positive vibes💛
The video was amazing, but that summary was simply sensational. We get one life, only one, and to spend it in the rat race without adventure is in my opinion a crime beyond measure. Thank you for the reminder, for sharing your journeys, and for inspiring others to live their lives to the fullest. I wish you a lifetime of happiness.

Wow! Such a beautiful place to spend a few days traveling through! Lovely camping spots, beautiful falls….just awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Your understanding of light is a huge credit. Great.
Absolutely amazing Claire the scenery and locations are unbelievable,you didn’t take a professional film crew with you did you !! Thanks for sharing this and all of your other adventures 👍👍
I am a person that spends WAY to much time on UA-cam, watching many different videos by many different people. This one of yours was probably the most beautifully done and inspirational I have watched. Thanks so much for all the Love and care you put into everything, you are absolutely shining bright! I also finished the video with very watery eyes... Keep on inspiring beautiful soul!
Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures Claire! I've just recently found your channel and every one of your videos puts a smile on my face. I've even found myself repeating a couple of phrases you've coined,,, like "Sooooo Pretty!" or "Hello Squirrel Friend!" Looking forward to you reaching 100,000 subscribers. It shouldn't be long now. Much love from Canada!
Living my best life: Watching UA-cam videos of people doing things that i would love to do but don't know how. Thanks for letting me see how it's done. 💜
Hi, Claire!
Hooray!!!!! What a wonderful adventure for you!!! What a glorious first night's sunset! Wow! It was a spectacular welcome back to the mountains and your first night's camp.
I loved the waterfalls and the gorgeous flowers--the foxgloves are elegant, and the little star-shaped flowers are delicate and whimsical. You were even blessed with a froggy trail pal! 😄
The sunsets were breathtaking! I'm so happy for you that you had plenty of water to refresh you, both inside and out! I love your raised open-arms expressions of pure Joy, exhilaration, accomplishment, and freedom! I always get goosebumps during those shots.
And at the end, your introspections of your life, your love for your son, and the beauty of living, brought more goosebumps and a little misty-ness to my eyes, to be honest. Thank you for that! Thank you for the Joy you bring to my heart! You are a beautiful Soul, Claire, and I am grateful for you. Happy Trails, Wild One! 😊❤
Hi Russell! 👋 Ahh thank you so much, it was just amazing wasn't it 😍 I almost can't believe it actually happened, such a blessing it was, every moment of it. I have so much gratitude for it, especially after being rained on for most of last year 😄 I will never forget this one
Thank you for sharing it with me and for your lovely words and continued support, means a lot to me
Hope you have a wonderful week with a bit of Wild thrown in :D 🌿 Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare Thank you, Claire! You're the best! ☺
I can’t help but think of all the others who have walked those sane paths over the last couple thousand years. And wondering about their lives
Such a great video, your enjoyment and love of the outdoors is infectious! 😌👏
I like the way you are there to enjoy the countryside rather than just clocking up as many miles as you can. ☺️
Absolutely stunning. And your closing comments were heartwrenchingly beautiful. No one could watch this and not be inspired. Just...Thanks!
Claire, what can I say, other than this has to be one of your very best adventures yet. Stunning sunsets, underwater shots, excellent drone footage and absolutely gorgeous scenery. You've certainly come a long long way since your very first video, and now you're over 95k subs. As far as I'm concerned you're up there with the best youtubers already. I cant wait for your next adventure xx
Aw thank you Adrian, that's very kind of you 🤗 Eeak, I can't believe how the subs keep going up! A bit scary haha but I am very grateful to have so much support from such lovely people, I'm actually blown away by all the kindness 🥰 This one felt like the best trip for me too, so I'm glad that came across. Thanks so much for sharing it with me. Hope you're having a lovely week :) 🌿Claire 🐻
You......are.......absolutely amazing !!! You've brought tears to my eyes
I can’t believe how amazing your content is now. Looks absolutely unreal Claire! Living the dream 😍
Hii ahh thank you so much! :D Hope you're still out adventuring yourself, I remember us talking last year about Watkins and being impressed how non-terrified you were by it 😄 thanks for sharing this with me, hope you have a lovely week :) 🌿 Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare you’re welcome and yes I’m still out hiking and wild camping but haven’t done a big one since Watkin last year! Need to get back to Snowdon sometime soon, it’s so stunning 😊 I’ll be exploring Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro at the end of August so can’t wait for that, so many beautiful waterfalls in the balkans too ☺️
I'm sitting here watching your wonderful hiking adventure in an area I know would be absolutely refreshing here in the California foothills where I live. In the summers, our hot and dry weather with temps in the high 30s- to mid 40s Centigrade. Today it's cooler, only 98° F and we got clouds in the AM. I've been to England, the midlands to Yorkshire and Sheffield, for a week in 1993. I took my son on a 2 week adventure soccer club excursion from the U.S. ( Pacifica, Ca) to England and Ireland another week. It was pretty cold, March and April. The weather off the North Atlantic reminded me of how much milder it was at home.
I often thought about one day going back to do some hiking in the Lakes region, not knowing how gorgeous Wales was. I would love to hike around Snowdonia. That waterfall and little ponds looked luscious, especially now where our lakes and streams are in drought. Are you Welsh? I have some Welsh, but also Irish and a tad of Scottish too. Any way, I'm glad I found your channel. I did subscribe. Your very artistic and did a wonderful job at editing your video. It's a masterpiece. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. God Bless you, from Calaveras county, California.
By the way, was your trek done during your recent heat wave? It looked very nice, weatherwise. Cheers!
Beautiful countryside, beautiful music and beautifully filmed by a lovely lady . Your best adventure yet Claire . Thanks for taking us along with you .
Thank you so much John ☺ thanks for sharing it with me :D have a lovely week, Claire 🐻
I'm from Indonesia I love your videos,Really enjoyed this video.. I see the effort behind each video, the detail and love you put into it
I’m speechless - what a wonderful journey! Thank you so much for sharing all these moments with us! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing it with me ☺ This one felt like a once-in-a-lifetime kinda thing, very blessed :)
Great video great adventure Claire! I was swimming next to you while you were swimming in those gorgeous waterfalls and gorgeous lakes🤩🥰💖👍
Thank you Claire, you are truly an inspiration to us all who watch your travels and adventures. X
No place like Snowdonia, Sunshine couple of swims, hot meal, sunnsets and fall asleep listening to the rain on the tent. What more could you ask for?? Your going to have to slow mo the tent putting up as it has never worked me. Great Video Claire as they all are and thanks for taking us with you.
What an awesome trip. It's nice when things work out better then expected. Would love to have places like this to hike and camp. Thanks for bringing us along with you.
Your adventures, for many of us I believe, gives us a freedom. Or at least a feeling of freedom. For those that cant your sharing, you softly spoken commentary, your unpretentious attitude, your humility and real world approach,your cinematography is a highlight in my life at least. Thankyou.
😁 Aaah Claire that was utterly brilliant.. What a fantastic adventure and the video was well worth waiting for.. Stunning Wales, the weather good and bad, the clear night sky, going off piste and making your own way is truly Epic 😁 Lovely ending too 🤗🏴👍 Very inspiring..

It's amazing that people strive to buy things to make us happy, when you've just shown us that the most special things in this world are available for FREE! Keep up the great work, very inspirational. Looking forward to more.
apart from all the very expensive gear she has.
Another amazing trip Clare. Thoroughly enjoyed watching, and the scenery was epic. Xx
Clair, you always cheer me up with your willingness to push boundaries in a can try attitude. A breath of fresh air for we never know what will happen next. Keep going your a legend. Harry flying haggis films.
Without a doubt this was your best video for me. The colours in both sunsets and sunrises were amazing! I've had a couple of trips like this where I find it difficult to put into words how emotional you can get with this sort of experience. I'll bet you felt great for a good few days after this wonderful adventure. Keep these videos coming, so inspiring
Thanks so much Terry, it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime kinda thing this one, I loved it so much 😍Glad you get to experience this feeling too :) Hope you're having a lovely week 🌿Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare I`m out this weekend so looking forward to as much as fun as you had! Keep those vidoes coming!
VERY WELL MADE VIDEO CONVEYS A UNIQUE FEELING OF FREEDOM.. THE NOISE OF THE FALLING WATER IS EXTREMELY RELAXING
This a great route and video! It also shows you don’t have to do the 900m+ summits to have adventure, and seeing barely anyone else makes it all the more special. If I had the kit I’d try to replicate this route it looked so cool… thanks for sharing!
Thanks Greg, yes this is very true :D Have a great week 🌿🐻
I call it the Starlight hotel, the only one who has 5 billion stars . And yes, I am talking about wild camping!
You are an amazing story teller and I hope you will keep sharing them with us
You left me breathless Claire! I thank my son for calling 911 and I got revived so I can continue saying my piece about how wonderful your adventure was! The final seconds were without a doubt, a knockout! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. Just subscribed to your channel. Greetings here from the Philippines! 🇵🇭
Haha thank you Allan, so glad you liked it, welcome to my little channel :D best wishes from UK! 🌿Claire 🐻
Discovery channel need to give you your own tv show !! Everyone who watches your videos wishes they could do what you do or wishes they had the strength to do it ! I do anyway👍
How many times can I say “Fantastic video Claire”, that looks amazing. Such a beautiful walk. You should plan mine. The last one was a disaster. Can I ask. What GoPro holder do you use for your rucksack? And how much does it all weigh. I love your energy your love of adventure and your determination to give it a go. You are an inspiration to everyone watching. Keep up with the wonderful adventures. Thank you. ⛺️⛺️
Thank you Neil ☺ sorry your last one was a disaster, I had a few like that last year haha, this year has been a dream so far though, wonder how long it will last
The go pro holder is a Telesin one, it just wraps around the strap & fixes with velcro.
Weight.. too much 😄 my base weight for this wasn't bad at 9.2kg.. then add 2kg food, 1kg water, 2.6kg of filming gear (camera, lenses, gopro, drone, batteries, ball heads, tripod, lil lights etc) and trekking poles at 330g, looking at around 15kg total. This is my summer weight so in winter it can get up to 18kg if I'm having to carry ice axe & spikes etc along with my winter gear. It would be far more acceptable without the filming gear, but making these videos is part of the fun for me so I'm happy to bear the extra weight
Hope your next trip is better, keep it up, I'm sure you'll be rewarded for persevering :D hope you have a lovely week :) 🌿 Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare Thank you Claire. I have seen a few GoPro holders on line. I will check that one out.
You do amaze me with your energy. I think my pack was about 15kg with food and water. Maybe it was the heat I struggled with. 🥵. We live and learn and I will definitely plan my routes a bit better. I may try one of yours one day. They look amazing. Not sure I would camp near a steam though. The mozzies love me. 😂.
I know you do these walks and videos because you love to be outside and you enjoy making them but thank you. You give a lot of fantastic ideas, you show beautiful spirit and you are a true inspiration to us all. It is a delight to watch you on your adventures. As always. Stay safe, stay happy and keep on trekking. ⛺️⛺️
Don't stop enjoying your adventures Clare no matter the weather or how tough it is I love all your camping journies
The whole video gives me inspiration to do this sort of multi day camping, but the last 2 mins of you talking. really 'makes my heart glad' and genuinely took it to another level.
Beautiful. Thanks so much for allowing this old man to tag along on this extraordinary adventure.
you are truly an inspiration to all age groups, not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside too, your videos are amazing please never stop, your son is a very lucky person to have such an adventurous mum like yourself, thankyou
Best post yet, Claire and they have all been fantastic. The one down side? Those midges! For the rest, it was heaven on earth! So glad you are sharing these experiences with us. Keep them coming!
The colors & view of the sunset atop that summit (5:53) were breathtakingly beautiful ! ❤
Snowdon is not far from me and unfortunately I don't get to enjoy it as much as I would like due to work commitments and finding times to see my children on my days off it is a beautiful place and thank you for sharing the beautiful part of my country with your amazing videos. You are a beautiful, amazing soul and hope more people get to see your efforts and subscribe to you. It would be amazing to see you do youtube for a living and secure a bright future for you and your son xx
