  • My first snowy hiking and wild camping trip was absolutely beautiful! The circular summit route of the mountain that I had planned was overly ambitious for me and I didn’t end up getting very far, but none-the-less, this trip was one of the best things I’ve ever done :)

      I admire your spirit. I have booked a holiday one week camping and the next in a cottage on my own, (hubby is having his own solo cycling adventure in France) I’m staying on a camp site and feel pretty nervous about it, but I’m so looking forward to it too, we’ve been married for 30 years and it’s the first time we’ve ever done anything on our own separately. It’s not a wild camping thing like you but it’s a big adventure for me. My friends think I’m crazy, some even say won’t one of your ( grown up) kids go with you? They don’t get it 😂

    So much respect for your strength in lugging not only your personal gear but all the filming stuff too, up such steep slopes, and then for putting your safety first and deciding 'enough', and backing down. There's enough glorification of pushing through comfort zones and powering on to some predetermined goal. I think this might be one subtle difference between women and men, actually. That women (especially mothers) have an in-built danger meter and a feeling that our survival matters for more than just ourselves. You walk the fine line between caution and courage with humor and with your feet on the ground. I am really loving your videos.

      This. The only time I've had a serious fall on a mountain was when I realised I was running really late and needed to come down Eagle crag directly into Borrowdale. The guidebook basically said "don't descend this route if you didn't come up it as the way is tricky" I ignored it and ended up loosing my footing in damp ground and bouncing about 40 feet down a slope. Nothing apart from my pride injured, but ever since I take a much more pragmatic and cautious approach to mountains. If I'm not comfortable, I don't do it.

    Really great video! Most of my experiences out in the snow haven't been as relaxing as yours. A good way to stop your boots from freezing is to keep them in a waterproof bag inside your sleeping system much like you did with your electronics. I've camped under tarps from northern Europe to the antarctic in winter and I know that your personal administration is what makes the absolute difference in those environments. Just keeping your boots warm makes such a difference in the morning when you emerge from your sleeping bag.

    One of the coolest channels on RUclips. The voice overs when your lips isn't moving and then the other voice edit you do where a sentence is being spoken and we may for example see you erecting the tent but the tail end of the sentence is back of you and your lips catching the end of the sentence, boy are those beautiful yet subtle additions to your already wonderful narrating skills. Bravo.

    Claire, this may have been one of your most beautiful videos…I loved the slow-mo snowfall and the moonlit shots. Of course, your smiling face is such a lesson to viewers: the difference between disaster and adventure is attitude, and while you acknowledge anxieties, you surmount them with your buoyant spirit and celebration of life in the wild. Your videos offer such a refuge and restorative escape from the world’s craziness, always with an artist’s eye and Wordsworth’s soul: “With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.”

    A beautiful video, beautiful mountains, and a beautiful lady who's wonderful personality makes the viewer's experience as if they are there with her. Sometimes I get concerned about your safety, and climbing up those snow covered boulders worried me, so I was happy when decided return to the valley to seek a safer alternative. Happy New Year and stay safe so you can make more of theses great videos. Thank You.

      Aw thank you Howard 🤗 Try not to worry about me, I am quite cautious, although if an accident did happen I always have a personal locator beacon with me so I would be able to call for help - hopefully I'll never need to use it. So glad you enjoyed this, camping in the snow was a lil dream come true for me 🌨🤍 Have a lovely weekend and happy new year to you too! Claire

Sure beats the mid-30 degrees we have here at the moment! You live in and have access to the most beautiful hiking and camping spots over there. Well done for pushing your limits and getting out there and enjoying the experience (and for taking us along), great stuff Claire! 👍👍

    Before Christmas, when we had a fair bit of snow, I might have kept my daughter off school for a couple of days, and we might have sneaked up to the Isle of Skye from our home in Northumberland. While there, we might have done 2 nights hammock/tarp camping and 2 nights camping in the tents. It felt like we had the entire island to ourselves, and it reminded me a lot of Norway or Canada :)
    Your trip looked wonderful, and with so many firsts. Medals and promotions all round :)

    Charity shop blankets for a tent. As long as the weather is dry. Seen this on another RUclips channel. And the gentleman said, he wished he'd done it years ago. And the best nights sleep.
    Just used a zip line and then used strong peg clips to hold it up. And then maybe get the other generation to try it out in there back garden.
    Tried it myself and felt brilliant after.
