A Night Alone Camping on a Tiny Island
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- I made my way up, battling my fear of heights a little at times, and spent the most beautiful night on this tiny island, surrounded by the blue-green water. I watched the sunset-coloured clouds and the milky way dance above my head, I got cold, paddled in a waterfall pool and talked with a mountain goat. I loved this lil trip so much 💚
Thank you for sharing it with me 😊 Much love, Claire 🌿🐻

Drone shots, underwater shots, shots from a static camera at a distance… the amount of running backward and forward getting all that amazing footage is bonkers. Awesome work
I went there as a teenager in the 70s in a really hot summer. We sat on that island, and I played a guitar (yep, I carried that old guitar all over Snowdonia until it broke), and we sat there all night and climbed down in the dawn. Snowdon was really busy that year, but for some reason, we didn't see anyone when we were up at the lake. We had a lot of special times in those mountains that year. A group of teenagers from London who had just done their O-Levels and felt the world was theirs. It's wonderful to see that the spirit still exists. A beautiful little film.
Thank you for taking us to places most of us will never see. Your videos are always a joy to watch. So peaceful.
Thank you, means a lot ☺️🌿🐻
One of the things I like that you do well, also Bushman and Blue, is to describe and discuss the risks you face on your adventures and the decision making process you go through to mitigate risk or modify your plans when the risk is too great. It helps those less experienced to understand the decision making steps when doing activities such as this. You portraying your fears and limitations is so valuable to let others know it’s ok to change plans before a dangerous situation is created.
Agreed, decision making and risk assessment is such a crucial part of moutain and hill walking, so its good to see it in a video
I was just coming to make a similar comment… I think it’s great to hear the whole story and that you still have a great time on your adventures even though you’ve had to adjust plans for reasons of safety or comfort :)
I camped in the same spot some 30 years ago, but wasnt quite as lucky with the weather. By nightfall, the wind had picked up to gale force and I spent the night clinging onto the main pole to stop the tent blowing away. To cap it all, I developed a fever and was all too happy to retreat the next morning to spend the day shivering and sweating in the local youth hostel. Even so, I still look back on that trip with gratitude
That drone rise moment to reveal the lake is superb !
Not many people seem to have commented on this aspect so I just had my tuppence - absolutely amazing production qualities. Really a very talented video maker - thank you so much
Damn right!
On an island, on a lake, high on a mountain, just you and the goats and sheep! Wow, that is incredible! I'm glad the weather held for your adventure this trip.
When I think about all the doubling back to move cameras and tripods, and shooting the same precarious segments from different perspectives, I applaud your efforts. What is already a dangerous feat, you go back and do all over again for the aerial shot, or the low-to-the ground perspective shot!
Your trips are awe inspiring, Claire. Thanks for taking us along!
Hi Randy! Ahh thanks, it was an amazing lil trip 😍
Yep it's a lott of work to film these but I love to do it, a nice lil project. Its really great that you appreciate the technicalities of shooting it all, thank you :D and thanks for coming along on the journey
Hope you're having a great weekend! :) Claire 🌿🐻
I love that the island has one perfect little tree 🏝
It's also sad in a way, Scotland used to be 95% forest. What we see today is far from natural.
And even that tree will be ruined one day
@@Francophone974yes thats the saddest part.
Same with baobab trees. They look great in the open fields, but sad reality is that its the only tree that doesnt burn or can be used to build. Thats why they survived
For some reason I feel emotional when I watch your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share with us.
What a wonderful planet we live on, if only we could learn to respect it.
This one deserves to hit the million views.
Thank you so much Clair for taking us along on this Magical trip! Taking so much trouble to show us the views and scenery! You are indeed an inspiration! 🏕️🏔️☘️👍😎
Aw thank you, thanks for coming along with me :D 🌿💚
That was possibly your best video to date!
Beautiful location, beautifully filmed and edited, by one of my favourite young ladies on RUclips.
I must admit I do harbour a little ‘fatherly’ concern for your safety at times, as that terrain can be unforgiving, but you seem to take it all in your stride.
I love solitude and, like you, am content with my own company, so it brings me joy to see you enjoying it. Thank you for sharing adventures like this with us mere mortals. x
Hi Perry! Aw thank you, I loved this lil trip, although I wasn't sure I'd make it up there at one point.. glad I did :)
It's sweet that you worry about me, I do try to be as cautious as I can although I understand that this sort of thing does come with an unavoidable element of risk.. I always have my personal locator beacon but hopefully I'll never need to use it.
Thanks for watching my lil vid, hope you have a lovely weekend :) 💚🌿🐻
Never could have imagined so much solitude while wild camping in the UK. Indeed, it’s amazing!
Yehh I love to plan routes off the main paths 😍 There were people coming up the next morning though, as I was on my way down, so it seems I had a stroke of luck having it to myself for the night :) Thanks for watching, have a lovely eve 🌿🐻
Claire your courage is astonishing. You overcome by perseverance, and good thinking. What an inspiration you are. Thank you for having adventures for those who can't !
Aw thank you so much Dan, means a lot, I'm so glad you could come along with me on this :) Hope you're having a lovely eve 🌿Claire 🐻
Yet another brilliant adventure, Claire! That was a truly spectacular spot to camp, and you really brought us along for the journey with your fantastic camera and editing work, well done! Such a beautiful part of the world you have to explore, I can't get there to share it, but this is the next best thing, thanks for taking us with you!!
Thank you Dave, loved this lil trip 😍 although I wasn't sure I was gonna make it up there at one point haha. I love North Wales so much, can't imagine ever getting bored of it. I've summited Snowdon 3 times via various routes, but there's still so much to explore on this one mountain. Hope you have a lovely eve :) Claire 🐻
Claire‼️ You are such a great storyteller and not only in word. Your videography and drone skills make this like a short movie!
Here I sit in FL, watching hurricane Ian do its thing and your post was just what the Dr ordered. Thanks!
Hey Jimmy! Ahh thanks, so kind of you to say :D Ooo gosh, I hope you're keeping safe over there! 💚🌿🐻
What a stunning video. I especially like the goat at the end there, just strolling by. Thanks!
Superb, Claire! Such a unique camping spot on the little island. You even got a little tree all to yourself! Good advice on finding another route if you are not comfortable with heights. Thanks for taking us all along on another magical trip!
What an amazing spot you found for pitching the tent! Thank you so much for sharing this trip with us, Claire!
Having survived a stressful day of OFSTED inspections, this was the perfect antidote this evening. What an amazing location, and much respect to whoever it was who placed those stepping stones out to the island.
Ahh bless you, that does sound stressful! Yep they did a great job making a lil bridge across :D thanks for watching and hope today is better 🌿 Claire 🐻
OFSTED….unnecessary stress!
Thanks Claire for sharing your latest adventure, camping in the middle of a small tarn. You’re right about people feeling more alive when they are a little outside their comfort zone. Nice one. 😊
Thanks so much for coming along, yes it's very true :) 🌿💚
You make it look so easy and fun. You are for sure an inspiration to all of who like nature
You have a way of displaying utter beauty in all your videos. I think it comes from the beauty inside you. In this video, I loved the transition you did when you flew the drone up to see the lake from below then back down. You’re an excellent videographer.
Ahh thank you so much Lisa, I'm loving learning the videography 😍 I usually put snippets of the good stuff in the intro right at the start of the video, but I felt like I wanted to wait for a reveal on this one. It was fun to put together, I'm glad you liked it :) Hope you're having a nice week 🌿Claire🐻
As the days are getting shorter this is just the tonic we need beautiful scenery and a star covered sky most of us can't see because of light pollution,I also really like the style of your new tent. Thanks again for taking us along.
You,re videos just get better and better Claire . Well done for facing your fear of heights . Worth it to camp in such a beautiful place . Thanks for taking us along .
Aw thank you so much, I did have a bit of a wobble on the way up and briefly debated going all the way back down.. I'm glad I didn't. Thanks for coming along with me :) Claire 🐻
So true what you say, Claire. I cycle a lot, and when I go on a long ride - 100 miles or more - I can always find many reasons NOT to do it. I don't feel 100%, the weather isn't perfect, the bike might malfunction, I'm getting too old, and so on. The thing is to dismiss those reasons and DO IT ANYWAY! You live your life by doing, rather than not doing, and that's an inspiration to us all.
Wow Claire that was breathtaking, your filming & Photography is simply amazing.
The night scenes and drone footage had my eye's poping out & that island looked so idylic with just the lone little tree to keep you company.
Your channel is the best wild camping one that i seen.
All the best.
Aw thank you so much! It was so beautiful up there, I'm glad I didn't turn back, I did debate it at one point when me fear of heights kicked in. Hope you have a great weekend :) 🌿🐻
@@WildBeare Well you beat your fear good and proper but a bit of caution in those circumstances ain't a bad thing 😊
And the same to you 👍
Well done Claire. This wasn't an easy one for you, but the rewards were amazing. Thanks for taking us up there with you 🙂💞
Thanks Mick I loved it ☺️ Hope you have a lovely weekend 💚🌿🐻
@@WildBeare Thanks Claire.. hope you have a peaceful one 🙂💞
Claire, you are such an incredible woman. The beautiful places you travel to and the countryside with the amazing sunsets are amazing. I enjoyed your little home on the island. Thank you for sharing this beautiful adventure with us. Glad you're safe. Enjoy your adventures and stay safe. Never give up on your dreams and your amazing adventures. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure.
Aw thank you Perry, so glad you enjoyed this, it was a beautiful place 💚🌿 I will try :D Hope you have a fantastic weekend :) Claire 🐻
As a photographer I wish I was there, it looks heavenly! You're living the dream.
This has to be the best one yet, thanks so much for your hard work putting it together for us 🙏👍
As someone who lives in a big city it's great that we still have wild places where you can be alone in nature. You are a real inspiration to people of all ages and your video skills are really quite professional. Well done.
Thanks so much Paul, yep I'm loving pouring over the maps and planning routes away from the main paths 💚 there were people heading up there when I was on my way down though, so seems I had it pretty lucky! I'm really enjoying learning the videography so again, thank you, and hope you have a lovely eve :) Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare missed the trip to mexico...geesh
That's the way to live your best life! You only live once and, if done right, that's all that you need! Thanks for bringing us along!
Claire I don't think you really know how much of an inspiration you are, not to mention what an incredibly beautiful human being. This was magical, thank you!
Ahh thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It sure felt special :) hope you have a nice eve 💚🌿🐻
@@WildBeare I wish I could make it to such a place.
Have a lovely evening.
Couldn't agree more! Claire has really inspired me to start wild camping myself, it's been particularly great to see another women out doing it. I look forward to all her videos.
A inspiration of what not to do , foolish women.
Who is the first one she will call if she gets into trouble and needs help, a MAN.
@@leroy7513 Hi Le Roy, great to hear your opinion. But in the interest of free speech, I must say, I hate this narrative I receive all the time about being a weak and vulnerable female in in the outdoors. Of all the things everyone does on a daily basis (including getting into a car), wild camping is very low down the list in terms of danger. And of course there is risk - as there is in anything :) You just take precauations to lower it, and apart from that steep ledge - which Claire then avoided - this was very low risk. Would you have called enjoying a night outdoors foolish if she were a man? I think the only thing foolish here is for her to not live a life doing the things that make her healthy and happy, like getting outdoors. I think we all deserve that, regardless of gender, and I wish the same to you too :)
behold the beauty of nature, you are so lucky to be able to see it with your own eyes, thank you for showing it to all
Wonderful film Claire. Your positivity is always so refreshing. Snowdonia is such a fabulous area. Many thanks.
Best happy dance I have seen in RUclips in a long while! Gratz on your mountain challenge. Well done.
Wonderful. Just wonderful. Pretty much the only content creator I watch from start to finish. Such relaxing videos to watch. Thanks Claire.
Ahh thank you so much, that's so nice. Wishing you a lovely weekend :) 🌿🐻
Absolutely stunning. I’m binge watching your videos and am in awe of you.
Lovely landscapes. Thankyou for sharing.
That place looks so remote, yet you take it on and enjoy on your own. Hats off to you for doing so.
You’re content is so enriching for yourself and everyone that views your videos.
Thank you so much. 😊😊
in a time full of problems and fears it is a blessing to see your smile in such an impressive landscape.
Enjoy your life and thank you for letting us be a part of it.
Greetings from Bavaria, Stefan
Ahh thank you, yes there is no better place to get away from all that, thanks for joining me :) best wishes from UK 🌿💚
Incredible 🤩 amazing video. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
A natural beauty in beautiful nature
So amazing to watch your adventures. Love them all. Thanks for taking us along.
You are one tough little woman, and brave as well. I'm a man in the USA and I would not do that alone. Incredible trip! Enjoyed very much.
“You know what, I’m gonna do it anyway…” 🙂 What a peaceful place! The night sky a particular treat. There are so many beautiful places to visit on our little island, you inspire me to try for myself. Thank you!
Thank you Chris, gorgeous isn't it 😍 have fun out there! :D 🌿🐻
Yes, I had no idea how many amazing places we have here in our backyard until watching these videos! Adventures a plenty to be had it seems :)
Stunning scenery and that funny goat too lol
Wow, Claire that was truely a magical place. I felt the vibes thru the video. Really stunning, as are you. Cheers from British Columbia, Canada.
I struggle with a fear of heights/bad vertigo so it was so cool to see you still be able to make it to the lake (and served as a really good reassuring example for me to not push myself beyond what I am comfortable with!). That has to be one of the most magical camp spots I've ever seen. To have it all to yourself beneath that night sky must have been very special.
You have awesome wild camping videos yourself. I believe the forest was called Ashdown in one of your videos. And I thought that was a very magical place.
@@jeremiahbolton2278 Thank you Jeremiah! It was Ashdown forest! A beautiful place to explore and great for wildlife too :)
Hi Chloe! Yeh I'm not good with heights and I'm not really into pushing myself into feeling sick and absolutely terrified.. I come out to these places to have a good time so it doesn't make sense to be feeling like that. Although sometimes I'm able to push on with some mild-moderate fear, I don't mind that and it feels like a bit of an achievement when I'm able to overcome it, so that's nice
It's so beautiful isn't it 💚🌿 definitely magical, I think I lucked out as there were people on their way up the next morning, when I was heading down
Thanks for watching and hope you're having a lovely weekend :D Claire 🐻
what to say ,. absolute delight, I don't want to go back home after these places 🙃😉😎😁
Your vids always make me smile - "How do I want to live my life? Pretty much like this!" - sums up getting outdoors beautifully.
Thanks for your beautiful voice and sharing us you experience on that beautiful island a long with your photography. Be safe out there 😜
What a gorgeous spot. Such an adventure.
Thank you so much for introducing me to such a beautiful place! You are a great tour guide. 👍
Your philosophy on life is just so wonderful to see, such a beautiful soul. 🙏
wow! you could have almost done with a plough point tarp. One lone tree. inspirational, once again, Claire! thanks for these!
Mid September is such a Nobel goal!
Good fun!
How utterly enchanting ❤️
1:19, Wow, those flowers are beautiful!
That is the most beautiful camping site I have ever seen!
Just absolutely astoundingly beautiful! Thanks for taking us all on your amazing journey. And what a CLIMB, felt my legs burning and breathing getting harder as you went up, and UP.
Oooo fab Claire, at the foot of Crib Goch, have you done that yet? It’s a bit scary, love Snowdon, like you, it’s a treasure 😊👍🏽♥️🏕
What a neat little island with its own tree! Well climbed and camped!
Good call Claire, always better safe than sorry! Great vid and beautiful scenery
Love watching your camping videos. I am an avid camper as well. Have been travelling and camping around Australia with my two dogs, Deja and Bodhi since 2009. Have had many tents but I have had a caravan for a year now. Safe and happy camping Claire. 😃💙🌹👍
Really enjoyed this vid Claire brought back good and bad memories of Snowdonia Royal Marine Mountain training, love your honesty, stay safe.
Think this is my favourite video yet, Looks like such a beautiful spot. North Wales is the only place I've seen the milky way!😍❤️
With some friends, I remember camping on the edge of that lake, if I remember correctly it was in 1979. It was snowing and very, very cold. We were not brave enough to get over to the island. Great Vid Claire and thanks for sharing, it brought back some nice memories for me. The next day we climbed up and over Crib Goch. Look forward to your next vid.
When ever anybody asks me how I wild camp on my own I just show them your chanel Claire, your an inspiration thankyou
Excellent filming as always - thank you!
Another awesome overnighter in such beautiful surroundings. Nice one Claire :-) ATVB from sunny Malaysia
What a magical spot to camp in!
Really very entertaining adventure Claire Your presentations get better and better. Well done and Stay Safe.
So lovely! Great camera work Claire, I loved the drone lake reveal! Thanks for sharing 😊
Legend, awesome video I wouldn't be able to sleep with the stars like that either. Keep the videos coming, loving them.
That's just stunning. Well done.
Wow Claire those stars look amazing and this is one of your best videos yet
Stunning video. Thank you so much for sharing.
Definitely one of your best.👍 That was truly one of the most peaceful places on Earth you could ever be. So nice you experienced it.🌹
Love this video and your camera work. I've watched most of your RUclips videos and I'm working my way through the rest. Brilliant everyone up to now. Keep them coming please. Fantastic stuff 👏👏👏
Its all been said. Just wonderful 😊
this was an amazing trip i tagged along with...climbing a hill with a daypack can be a chore so i can only imagine climbing a mountain with overnight gear and a bunch of production equipment would feel like. anyway, a fairy tale of a place only made more lovely by its visitor. thx Claire.
Hi Bri, I'm so glad you tagged along with me, thank you :D yep it's not easy, but it's always worth it :) although I am groaning slightly internally at the prospect of getting back out with my even heavier winter gear again haha! Hope you're having a lovely week :) Claire 🐻
Great question to end on Claire. Great video / adventure once again
What a beautiful Place to Camp!!! Reminds me of the many lakes I've climbed to in the Sierra's... Just beautifuls.....
What a beautiful and stunning video. You are such an inspiration to many, and living a dream life...long may that continue. Thankyou
I really enjoy your trips to Snowdon. This one is absolutely beautiful!
I love her videos. What a nice life!
What an absolutely heavenly campsite!
So beautiful landscapes. I’m jealous
Stunning video Claire, you are amazing.
Incredible, love your videos, they make me smile. Thanks for sharing
You make me smile so much! I'm so much like you but you are braver!
Great cinematography....
You're so brave too
🤍🖤🤎💜💙💚💛🧡
Adventurous,yet sensible 👍 You really make a production of your films single handedly! Keep it up!!! Thanks
I thought I knew what I wanted to Say but after reading some comments. People have said it better than I can. I think you are an amazing person, soft spoken and genuine. You have a beautiful soul. I love the way you see things.
Love your videos and your philosophy of life! Thanks for sharing 😊
