Challenging Wild Camp: Solo Tarp & Bivy on a Mountain in Wind, Rain & Fog 🌧️ Rhinog Fawr, Snowdonia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2021
- At 720m, Rhinog Fawr is a dinky mountain, but don’t let the height of the Rhinogs fool you - they are some of the wildest, most rugged landscape in the UK. The bad weather and low visibility combined with the difficult terrain made this one of my most challenging trips to date. I just love this place!
A boring but important note on being sensible(ish): these mountains and conditions are challenging and potentially dangerous. It has taken me years to feel confident enough in my abilities and my gear and I still have much to learn, but never intentionally put yourself beyond your personal capabilities. Navigation is essential in these parts, and if you aren't taking a tent, always take some form of bivvy. Always be prepared :)
In the spirit of being prepared, I’ve just ordered some of the waterproof OS Active Maps - my map was getting well scuffed up in the rain
Apologies for the wind noise in this, I was using an external mic with a muff but it got wet and became kinda useless. As you can probably tell, this was another phone jobby as my camera is still being repaired.
I arrived at the Rhinogs with a flat tyre, a huuge thank you to Alan, Lucy, Oscar & Tom for putting my spare on for me despite my locking wheel nut being a wonky pain in the ass, and the guys who lent your pliers to straighten it out, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH
To see how to set up a tarp tent, check out: • How To set up a Tarp T... . If you need to use rocks, same configuration applies; just place the rocks where you would usually peg, then plonk a few more on for good measure
2 weeks after filming this trip I returned to Rhinog Fawr with @AshOutdoorsUK & found the exact spot that I camped - I’ve added this at the end to show you my pitch in good visibility :)

I like watching these videos before bedtime. It makes me really appreciate having a warm cosy bed.
You're a very adventurous girl!! Brilliant! But please invest in your safety and purchase a personal rescue beacon, they are quite expensive (roughly £250) but if you ever stumbled down a foothole or slipped etc and broke a leg/hip/ankle etc and you can't get mobile phone signal, you risk not being found before succumbing to exposure or injuries. For the sake of £250 it's not worth the risk. Dad talk over, now, go have an amazing life full of adventure and exploration!
There is no better feeling them being snug and warm in a bivvy bag inside a tarp or tent and listening to the rain. Pure magic. I have been doing it for 50 years now here in New Zealand and never get tired of it. Great video.
Thanks for taking us along. Wonderful footage and scenery.
I am so inspired by you. I just took up solo backpacking this year and it's great to see another woman doing this to keep me going.
Your videography and editing are spot on. Those skills really enhance your storytelling. Well done!
Speaking from the perspective of an 81 year old, it is good to see how much you have progressed from your earlier videos = remarkable really. Well done! I look forward to your future adventures.
I am enchanted with your camping adventures and can listen to your voice all day long. You pay attention to detail. I've seen hundreds of camping videos but now i feel as if i have experienced a great adventure with a perfectly lovely lady. Thank you.
Lovely video to take my mind off the crazy going on in my life at the moment..... thank you! It's amazing how weather can play such a huge role in testing us while out adventuring..... your videos make it seem relaxing even when the weather is crazy!!
Another brilliant video Claire. I truly love your spirit and enthusiasm, it's so inspiring.
I have loved watching your confidence grow with every new trip.
I love the energy and adventurous enthusiasm you give in your films. You definitely inspired me to go wild camping (albeit in a comfortable tent 🙂). Beyond that you pack in loads of good info in and are a production/editing/ cinematography master. Not a boring moment. Keep it up Claire!
Claire, what a lovely adventure. Thank you for sharing your passion with us.
Thank you for sharing your adventures; your joy for all things nature is truly heart warming and contagious.
This is wonderful. You are fabulous. Inspiring me on my first tarp adventure. Such joy and a stunning wild setting.
Great adventure Claire. Another amazing video this time showing the importance of being able to navigate and stay safe 👏👏👏
So many beautiful sights in the wilderness all atound the world. Nothing better than being out there on your own.
Magnificent beauty Claire, the colours are a painters dream. The idea of noone else around can be so freeing, solitude is so regenerative. Love your videos Claire thanks for your channel and sharing your surroundings. Much love
I’m so impressed with you and your video’s. I think you are an inspiration to others to get out in the wild and experience it’s wonders. Thank you for sharing. Pat 🏴
I enjoyed that Claire. Major respect to you for pitching that tarp so well with rocks! Ben :)
