I had such an amazing time backpacking in this quiet corner of Snowdonia - the Snowdon Range but lesser-known routes with blissful solitude away from the crowds, and more in touch with nature :) 💚
This trip made my heart glad.. I hope you like it too. Thank you so much for stopping by! Much love, Claire 🌿🐻

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

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! 🙋🏻‍♂️

⁠@@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

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

@arthurrsaker8893 Год назад

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.

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!

Been watching your RU-vid 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.

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 !

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 🌿🐻

You really have put yourself among the top tier of RU-vidrs, 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!

@jakedethierful Год назад

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 :(.

@asmith7876 Год назад

@@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.

@ymg8057 Год назад

@@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!")

@wir154 Год назад

@@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.!

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.

@taranscott155 2 года назад

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 😄

We're off to the forest tomorrow for an adventure, one of your videos over lunch I think 😊 happy trails and thanks again! 😊

I heard you say about your fear of heights…I feel for you, I’m not the fittest 59 year old but on certain walks Acrophobia can ruin your day! My heart goes out to you & I was just thinking that this kind of activity is beyond me…I’m going to have to reconsider, even if just once a month, may be through the lighter months is achievable. Thank you so much! Take care x

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 🐻

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!) ⛈

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 🐻

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

@WildBeare 2 года назад

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

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 ❤️
