I have to confess i watch Claire’s videos in bed with my morning tea and my electric blanket on! But then I’m 73. Her adventures wild camping are inspirational.
"....it mellows rapidly into a fond memory." This is the gift of challenging yourself. A friend referred to this as type 2 fun. Type 1 fun is the obvious fun stuff. Type 2 is when things go wrong, and you get through it. Then looking back, it is always the stronger of the two experiences.
I can deffo see that! 🙂 Funny you should mention, I was flicking through the Alpkit catalogue thing that I got in the post today, and it said in there about type 1 fun, type 2, type 3. And I thought ahh yes, this was type 2 haha - and deffo the stronger Thanks for watching my lil viddy, hope you're having a lovely week :) 🌿🐻
Here is a quote from Aussie bushwalking legend, Paddy Pallin "When we face danger and difficulty something deep inside us responds to the challenge with a fierce joy; and when the trip is over there is a profound satisfaction"
The Peak District is my back garden, as I live relatively close, it’s tougher than people think, large open moorland, plateaus, peat bogs, waterfalls and wind, did you notice the wind 🤭 is arrives without notice and can stay all day, bloody well done you, I know exactly where you were and you picked the best place to camp for a modicum of shelter, there is nowhere else up there in the wind and not camping in the dips and gullies was a smart move, they can get pretty soggy pretty quick, we’ll done you 👍
Thanks Steve! It is tougher than I expected it to be for sure 😄 deceiving how high you are too.. I'm so used to Wales where its very obvious that you're up high, this was such a gradual slope you can easily not realise you're high up. Thanks for sharing this lil trip with me, have a great day :D Claire 🌿🐻
I do think Claire has a lovely face and voice. Very positive personality. I love the way she loves all weather turns anything into a learning experience ❤
Hi Claire, I discovered your Channel a few months ago & I've been catching up on your videos ever since. Wow, you are SO Inspirational, the love you have for life shines out of you & the joy you show for the beautiful world around you is infectious. I would love to get out into the world, do some trekking, camping & Wild Swimming but until now a back & leg injury have held me back. I'm so hoping I'm now on the mend & your videos are keeping me inspired & motivated to keep working towards my goal of doing a little of what you do. Thank you so so much for keeping me inspired & motivated, your videos have & are helping me so much. You are such a lovely person too, so gentle & authentic & real. Stay safe, lots of love Rachel.
Claire, a word about strong wind: Places that look sheltered can be deceptive. The higher you go, the stronger the wind is likely to be. Also, any solid structure that reaches high above ground will disrupt the higher-speed airflow up there, pulling it down to the ground, and then sideways. This is where those sudden, random gusts come from. You can demonstrate this on a windy day by walking in an urban area among high-rise buildings. At some point, close to a tall building, you are likely to get near blown off your feet. Yet on the same day, out in the open, whilst the wind might be strong, it won't be so overpowering, more likely steady, and from a stable direction. On this trip you made a special effort to reach those rocks up on high, in order to reach shelter. Drawn like a magnet, this might have been the worst place to pitch! Compounding matters, those rocks had gaps between them, and you pitched in line with a gap funnelling the wind right at you. It seems something similar happened at Cnicht. You chose a place high up, next to a vertical rock outcrop for shelter. While pitching, a huge blast took your hat for walkies. Next shot, another blast hit you from the opposite direction. This was a sign of downdraughts and turbulence, whether from the rock wall, or the mountain. In both cases, it might have been better camping at lower level, away from rocks or structures that could play tricks with the wind. Trees and bushes filter the wind rather than blocking it completely, so just tend to reduce its intensity, but come with their own problems. Hope that helps.
She would be better served by enrolling in a course that teaches her these things. I know she's doing it for the scenic views, with her drone and selfie stick, but one day it could lead to dangerous situation.
I absolutely love your debriefs! So much learned in one short video! The outright honesty of your channel is refreshing, I’m finding watching blokes they are just a lot less happy to reveal what they struggled with and probably would have never admitted to spending so long setting up a tent or having to need a plan B. Slowly working my way through your videos and so far I’ve loved them all x
When the wind really wants to know why she is there...buffet the tent...make me start a worry but not. Your poetic words paint a vivid picture of a tent being buffeted by the wind, evoking a sense of wonder and a touch of apprehension. It's as if the wind is curious, questioning the presence of the tent in its domain. This kind of natural interaction often leads to a mix of emotions - a little worry stirred by the power of nature, but also a sense of awe at its sheer force and beauty. It's a reminder of how we are a part of nature's grand tapestry, sometimes at its mercy, yet always in the midst of its splendor. Thanks for the camp among the hills and wind...
I love that you’re always so positive and upbeat and don’t catastrophize. This is supposed to be fun, but there will be challenges and you keep finding these stunning places. Living your best life. Your videos are so refreshing and interesting and just lovely.
Life's toughest challenges make the greatest stories. I never doubted you would do it. Proud of you Claire. Keep exploring and never give up. Your the best. Eric
The wind howlin, ages to pitch the tent, rain fallin, tired, exasperated but that did not matter! Our Claire Beare persevered and showed us all how it's done. Expect the unexpected in all situations and always have a backup plan. Thank you for yet another amazing video
Sometimes the toughest outings make for the greatest stories after all is said and done. I love that you push yourself, but I’ll bet most of us here were glad you didn’t risk a fall for the sake of the video. What a beautiful place to hike. Such a lovely waterfall. Nothing like that here in Savannah, Georgia. Thanks for taking me away from work for a very pleasant few minutes! ✌🏽
Hi Tom 👋 ahh yes they do, I'm really fond of this one despite some serious frustration at the time 🙃 funny how it goes like that. Yeh I didn't fancy going past that drop and never do anything purely for the sake of a video.. I enjoy life too much to risk it in that way haha. Thank you so much for joining me on this lil trip, hope work goes quick for you :) 🌿 Claire 🐻
Your " will to succeed " kicked in to overdrive on this one Claire. Tenacity usually overcomes adversity and in your treks it works every time. Beautiful district and scenery fabulous waterfall a camp you'll never forget for all the right reasons. Onwards and upwards to the next spectacular adventure girl. Bushyboy Oz.
You may not have a waterfall like that near you but watching PCT Class of 2022 I see the beautiful and diverse countryside you have. It's a bit like the AT here all year round. But yes, it is beautiful and thanks to Claire I have started hiking myself. She is a great inspiration.

Wow! You are a really persistent, victorious, survivor, warrior lady! Congratulations! 💪💟
WOW. Your determination is amazing and very impressive. Watching that I was so stressed not being able to help you. You definitely learned from the experience and it will only make you stronger. Listening to your thoughts at the end was very inspirational. Best wishes from OZ.
Well done taming that tent! I love watching these videos. There's a joy in aloneness, even when the going gets tough and we feel as miserable as hell. Nature is such a good metaphor for life, sometimes stormy, sometimes joyous and always unpredictable.
Claire! That was an amazing little journey! It went from joyously happy to quite serious in a moment. I know you were exasperated, but you were also tenacious and I admire that in you. Earlier I had seen your post on insta and I thought, ‘well this will be an interesting vlog’. Looming forward to your next adventure!
Hi Jimmy! Ahh thanks, yeh I was totally exasperated, I was preparing myself for the worst when I was fighting with that tent, thinking it wasn't gonna go up and I'd have to shelter under a rock for the night. Thanks for sharing this lil trip with me, hope you're having a great week :D 🌿 Claire 🐻
I can’t imagine your frustration with the wind and the tent especially after a not so easy hike. You obviously prevailed and had a great event to tell us about 👍🙏🤗🎩
Thanks Jon, ahh man it was so frustrating, I was really thinking I was gonna have to hide under a rock all night instead 😄 Hope you're having a lovely week :) 🌿 Claire 🐻
An absolute Delight, this video. I could not imagine being there and I kept wondering if you would be blown away in the night. Fortunately you were still there in the morning. I was on a mountain years ago and lightning was unbelievable. Scary, but worth it. Thanks for the adventures.
I've been wild camping up around there and, yeah, it's really tough going off-piste in those pete bogs with all that heather. What makes it even more tiring is the bleakness of the landscape as you pointed out, AND the fact that you have to constantly be aware a wrong foot somewhere could equal a broken ankle
Oh really, thanks so much! I had a bit of a mare with the wind noise & some mic interference so I'm glad it wasn't too annoying 🙂 Have a great week! :D Claire 🐻
Right you! For the past 3 weeks RUclips has been hell bent on getting me to watch all of your content from start to finish. Finally at 2am today I'm caving to the peer pressure, I've watched the lot so now you can have a new sub 😋👍🏻
Claire, what more can I say apart from, I’m running out of superlatives to describe your courage, tenacity, positivity and inspiration. Your amazing feats of defiance leave me awestruck, with your ability to turn a negative into a positive. You battled the elements there kid, overcame your fear of heights, and conquered what was an unexpected weather front. Lesser folk would have crumbled. If I were to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with just the basics, I’d feel a lot safer with you around. You just ooze pure class and take everything in your stride. Enjoy the rest of your week and your weekend Claire, and thank you for taking us on one of your wonderful adventures again. 🐻
Ahh you are so lovely and too kind! Thank you so much :) I am fond of this one although at the time I was getting quite exasperated with it 😄 Thank you for sharing this lil trip with me and hope you have a lovely weekend too :D 🌿🐻
peas in pod beare thanks for you vids . I'm 51 & had two hear attacks recently. & watching you got me into the wild camping you do , that I had not done for 25 years . ❤the freedom of having your home on your back x
5:18 Might be a good idea to tie up a guy line to your backpack in heavy wind, until you got it fixed with pegs. Unless you want it to fly away :) Check out Hilleberg’s videos, they do a nice job on explaining how to pitch in windy conditions.
"Always expect the unexpected". These are the words I shall remember when I do my first wild camp, with my partner (who is a lot more experienced than myself), I've only been on two camping trips so far and I loved it so much. I just can't wait to wild camp and see the sunset and sunrise and those beautiful views!❤️ Your videos are awesome, keep it up!😊❤️❤️
Another fantastic video Claire. So sorry to see you had a rough time. I love your perseverance with the tent. Even when things get tough you manage to push through. Such an amazing attitude you have. I love watching your videos. I like to get ideas from you. Keep up with the adventures. Glad you got back safe. ⛺️⛺️
It’s always tough pitching a tent in high winds, especially finding’s the right place to pitch it. I always take a few of the screw in pegs that I can use as an extra level of wind protection to make me feel a bit more secure when it’s needed. It’s worth reading the two books of the first unsupported crossing of Antarctica by both Ran Fiennes and Mike Stroud. It makes putting up a tent in winds seem easy compared to the storms they needed to do it
Ooo such a good idea about screw pegs! I might get a few of those thank you :D I bet anything seems easy after the real deal kinda stuff like that.. love an adventure read Thanks for watching my lil vid :) have a great weekend 🌿🐻
@@WildBeare Mike Stroud has also written a book called ‘survival of the fittest: understanding health and peak physical performance’. It’s a worthwhile read as he talks about injuries, hypothermia and hyperthermia, dehydration and so on, and how to spot them in yourself and others as well as talking about the adventures he’s done. It’s also quite funny in places
You’re an absolute legend and inspiration my lovely wild friend! I’m so proud of you for getting to your waterfall and that area did look beautiful! Open moorland walking can feel never ending can’t it?! I really felt for you with all that wind, it’s the worst element for me, so hard to battle against and just leaves you exhausted! So glad the Lanshan held its own in those tough conditions, at least it did you proud that night! Lovely vid as always, and loved the voiceover at the end. Fab 💕💕
Heyy Pink Lady! Ahh thank you so much, you are too kind bless you 🤗 The moor was brutal 😄 just.. no escaping it is there. Wind is the worst for me too, I find it really antagonising! Give me a downpour instead of wind any day I was quite proud of my lil Lanshan, he did good 😍 once I got him up 😄 Thanks for sharing this lil trip with me, hope all went well this eve :D much love 💚🌿🐻
You’re certainly gaining experience. I’ve watched quite a few of your videos and I think it would be fair to say every one of your previous trips made you able to get through this one. Tough shift, this one. You’re not a quitter. Just remember when to quit though! Sometimes that’s the right option.
Weather which completely defies the forecasters predictions is why I refer to them as weather-guessers, and regard their opinions with skepticism Well played Claire, you have that good old fashioned grit and determination not to be beaten by the seemingly impossible, but tempered with the good judgement of knowing when to bail, which you showed when having a look at the feasibly of climbing out of the gorge. A tricky situation well handled, and having the right gear to ensure your survival if your original plan went belly up. Keep those videos coming girl, they are always a joy to watch. Stay safe n God bless you.
Well done Claire for showing your great action video. I;m sure you will remember this adventure for a very long time. Well done and thank you. Stay Safe.
Stumbled across your channel. During calm times I must say you have an ASMR voice. I live in Northern California with a 14,000 ft mountain in my front yard. I am impressed with your grit and positive attitude. As an outdoorsman the best piece of advice I can give you is NEVER panic when faced with adverse conditions. Panic leads to poor decision making and will make things worse. Enjoy your adventures and I look forward to more of your videos. Take care.
It's little 'challenges' like these that make the experience that little bit sweeter at the end. You will never feel more alive than when you are millimetres from death. Testing ones resolve in such circumstances will only ever make you stronger. Well done you.
Great Adventure and a fascinating insight into the difficulties of pitching a tent in strong winds & unpredictable terrain. Really enjoyed your Peak District Adventure
Great video, looks like Bleaklow gave you the traditional welcome it usually hands out to people! The Peak District is like my back garden and it's very amusing when heading up Bleaklow 'it's a good day for it' a passing hiker will mutter, you have to just chuckle and simply know it's not going to be up top! The place you camped is probably one of the best up there, at least it provides the odd bit of shelter Middle Black Clough is also one of the more impressive waterfalls we have up here, so that was nice that you saw it! Your editing is exceptional as always, thankyou for the video, hope you had a great time up here, come again soon! 😀 👍
Nice going. That's what its all about. Adapting and perservering to what is thrown at you, especially when you have no other options. You'll remember this experience for both the good and the bad and the lessons learned from it. I enjoyed the video.
Awesome Lady. Certainly merits a mini-series on mainstream TV. As a female Mum, Presenter, Outdoors enthusiast/expert and encouraging figure for others, inc girls to put their phones down and get some boots on, she’d be an absolute winner.
Wow Claire, that certainly was a challenge. I have to give it too you for your determination and resolve! It’s definitely good to challenge oneself but also to have the greatest respect for your surroundings and Mother Nature. Glad it all worked out in the end, some dramatic footage and great narration. Stay safe
Great video loving the waterfall the Peak District can be a wild place especially in wind and rain but you showed us that it can be done and it's these moments struggling putting the tent up that you will remember in years to come and think I did that. It all adds to the adventure and like you said pushing yourself out of your comfort zone can be a good thing from time to time. Looking forward to the next video.
Well done Claire....these beautiful and remote places are that way for a reason...hard to live there year in and out. All that glitters and gold, but you rose to rhe challenge none the less. All we can ever do is our best and nature is the one that decides. Great advice about having a back-up plan and expect the neglected. My water bladder split Saturday night, during all this heat and thankfully I had another with two litres in it, or I'd have been in real trouble.
Wow Claire, you are an absolute machine fair play!! Most people would have abandoned that one but not you and yet again all done with that unbelievable smile and enthusiasm that only you have 🙏🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼❤️
A great video. It highlights how quickly the weather can change and also how you need to be prepared for the challenges that the weather can throw at you.
Bloody brilliant miss beare. Me and my mate ash got are rears kicked on scafell a month or so ago I lost my tent it truly kicked are arse and taught us both valuable lessons. Perseverance and resilience is a gift for those who have it. Well done young lady very impressive.
Another brilliant video. Great quality and footage as usual. And well done for persivering and taking yourself out your comfort zone. All the best for the next one.
You have a good heart and a strong spirit, both of which are evident in your videos, especially this one. May you enjoy great adventures for many years to come, thank you for sharing them with us.
You always remember (fondly) of the times things didn't go to plan. A perfect holiday vanishes in the mists of time. The disasters are the memorable ones. I admire your tenacity. I would probably have set fire to the tent and gone home. Love the Peaks though.
👍👍👍 Any Outdoor Excursion that one walked away from and got back home safely was (perhaps not at the time .. but rather later in retrospect) a good one. "Life is like a Box of Chocolates" .. etc .. A Plan B is always a good thing 😊. Strange though, it's those Trips that remain with one .. and gives one the most enjoyment in sharing with others. Looking at that Breeze .. the Tent performance (and your 'never say die' attitude 😏) seemed to be pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing ..
All part of the learning curve! Knowing your capabilities and limits and knowing when to bail and when you can carry on are really important factors when out in the elements. Good vid, atb Andy
I thought you were being a bit moany at first but then I got genuinely anxious on your behalf as you were struggling to put the tent up against the clock and the rapidly disappearing sunlight... What a journey! Epic.
Welcome to the windy Peak District. It’s been very windy whenever I’ve camped there so not surprised you had to wrestle your tent up. Well done to you for persevering and getting set up.👍George
Wow. That was hard to watch. I was in tears watching the frustration in your face. I’m glad we got to see the vid means your ok now. Despite your struggles you seem to be getting on with the tent better now.
That was quite a different experience to the videos I am used to seeing from you. But even more so: Hats off to your diligence and preparedness to handle the situation properly!
Fab adventure & video. The little Lanshan came up trumps after your previous probs with it. Interesting what you said about the walking pole versus the tent poles. Thanks for taking us on your adventures x
hey wildbeare your content is awesome i love watching and living priceriously through you in these beautiful places you visit, i love to get out myself but i dont go far, its amazing to see you enjoying the storms and showing your skills dealing with the extreme conditions you put yourself in. keep doing what your are doing, much love and respect.
Love your videos and the way you film the surroundings... its also so refreshing to see when things don't go to plan as always happens when doing these type of adventures..
The Peaks often gets underestimated because it’s not as ‘big’ as The Lakes or Snowdonia. But it it is just as beautiful, and will kick your ass equally as hard! There’s so much more of the peaks to explore and I hope you come back and see what it has to offer. Next time you’re here, head to the Hope Valley, it’s a bit more lively and has a bit more to see and do. Great video, hope you come back soon!
Just had your channel come up I’m my feed. I’m really pleased I clicked as I watched a couple of your videos and loved them. I’ll look back over some more of your videos 😊👍
I'm so pleased that you came through ok. It could have been so uncomfortable or even dangerous..wind and rain is not good on the moors. Lovely to see you recovering with a morning swim. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Claire, you have summed up the Peak District really well, it is so unpredictable thats for sure. I have lived on the edge of it for over half a century and it never seems to amaze me, just one example when I went out for a walk over Brown Knoll towards Kinder Low, I started in bright spring sunshine and as I progressed it rained, then the rain turned to hail and then back to sun, for not long the sun was soon replaced by snow and lots of it and heavy winds, in the space of my 1 to 1.5 mile walk back to the car I was returning in 5" plus of snow that was drifting in the cuts and gulleys, making navigation and following the paths almost impossible. Lucky for me I was prepared and made it back in one piece. I have also visited the middle back clough waterfall, it is a beautiful sight nestled away in the craggy moors. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel, you have a new subscriber 👍😁 ATB Andy
I have to confess i watch Claire’s videos in bed with my morning tea and my electric blanket on! But then I’m 73. Her adventures wild camping are inspirational.
"....it mellows rapidly into a fond memory." This is the gift of challenging yourself.

Read this.... after watching the video.
Definitely going to be visiting the peak district... feel silly having never been there.
I fell into a peat hole in that area and smashed my camera a few years ago. It’s easy to lose the path and get lost on those peat bogs.
What a great video. And a good metaphor for life in general.
Thank you Bjorn 🤗 Hope you're having a nice week :)

Oh really, thanks so much! I had a bit of a mare with the wind noise & some mic interference so I'm glad it wasn't too annoying 🙂 Have a great week! :D Claire 🐻
Right you!
For the past 3 weeks RUclips has been hell bent on getting me to watch all of your content from start to finish.
Finally at 2am today I'm caving to the peer pressure, I've watched the lot so now you can have a new sub
😋👍🏻
Claire, what more can I say apart from, I’m running out of superlatives to describe your courage, tenacity, positivity and inspiration. Your amazing feats of defiance leave me awestruck, with your ability to turn a negative into a positive. You battled the elements there kid, overcame your fear of heights, and conquered what was an unexpected weather front. Lesser folk would have crumbled.
If I were to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with just the basics, I’d feel a lot safer with you around. You just ooze pure class and take everything in your stride.
Enjoy the rest of your week and your weekend Claire, and thank you for taking us on one of your wonderful adventures again. 🐻
Ahh you are so lovely and too kind! Thank you so much :) I am fond of this one although at the time I was getting quite exasperated with it 😄 Thank you for sharing this lil trip with me and hope you have a lovely weekend too :D 🌿🐻
peas in pod beare thanks for you vids . I'm 51 & had two hear attacks recently. & watching you got me into the wild camping you do , that I had not done for 25 years . ❤the freedom of having your home on your back x
5:18 Might be a good idea to tie up a guy line to your backpack in heavy wind, until you got it fixed with pegs. Unless you want it to fly away :) Check out Hilleberg’s videos, they do a nice job on explaining how to pitch in windy conditions.
Yep you're right, it's one of those things that I know I should do and often don't, will take a looky, cheers :D
Girl power Clare. Well done with your persistence and not letting it defeat you. 💖
"Always expect the unexpected". These are the words I shall remember when I do my first wild camp, with my partner (who is a lot more experienced than myself), I've only been on two camping trips so far and I loved it so much. I just can't wait to wild camp and see the sunset and sunrise and those beautiful views!❤️ Your videos are awesome, keep it up!😊❤️❤️
Another fantastic video Claire. So sorry to see you had a rough time. I love your perseverance with the tent. Even when things get tough you manage to push through. Such an amazing attitude you have. I love watching your videos. I like to get ideas from you. Keep up with the adventures. Glad you got back safe. ⛺️⛺️
It’s always tough pitching a tent in high winds, especially finding’s the right place to pitch it. I always take a few of the screw in pegs that I can use as an extra level of wind protection to make me feel a bit more secure when it’s needed. It’s worth reading the two books of the first unsupported crossing of Antarctica by both Ran Fiennes and Mike Stroud. It makes putting up a tent in winds seem easy compared to the storms they needed to do it
Ooo such a good idea about screw pegs! I might get a few of those thank you :D
I bet anything seems easy after the real deal kinda stuff like that.. love an adventure read
Thanks for watching my lil vid :) have a great weekend 🌿🐻
@@WildBeare Mike Stroud has also written a book called ‘survival of the fittest: understanding health and peak physical performance’. It’s a worthwhile read as he talks about injuries, hypothermia and hyperthermia, dehydration and so on, and how to spot them in yourself and others as well as talking about the adventures he’s done. It’s also quite funny in places
You are amazing Claire. You never give up and always stays positive. You’re an inspiration 😊
You’re an absolute legend and inspiration my lovely wild friend! I’m so proud of you for getting to your waterfall and that area did look beautiful!
Open moorland walking can feel never ending can’t it?!
I really felt for you with all that wind, it’s the worst element for me, so hard to battle against and just leaves you exhausted!
So glad the Lanshan held its own in those tough conditions, at least it did you proud that night!
Lovely vid as always, and loved the voiceover at the end. Fab 💕💕
Heyy Pink Lady! Ahh thank you so much, you are too kind bless you 🤗
The moor was brutal 😄 just.. no escaping it is there. Wind is the worst for me too, I find it really antagonising! Give me a downpour instead of wind any day
I was quite proud of my lil Lanshan, he did good 😍 once I got him up 😄
Thanks for sharing this lil trip with me, hope all went well this eve :D much love 💚🌿🐻
@@WildBeare 😂 getting him up is always the tricky part 😂🤣😂😘
Thank you for your videos. You get to enjoy the prettiest places. The wind didn't diminish that breathtaking view!!!
You’re certainly gaining experience. I’ve watched quite a few of your videos and I think it would be fair to say every one of your previous trips made you able to get through this one.
Tough shift, this one.
You’re not a quitter.
Just remember when to quit though! Sometimes that’s the right option.
Weather which completely defies the forecasters predictions is why I refer to them as weather-guessers, and regard their opinions with skepticism
Well played Claire, you have that good old fashioned grit and determination not to be beaten by the seemingly impossible, but tempered with the good judgement of knowing when to bail, which you showed when having a look at the feasibly of climbing out of the gorge. A tricky situation well handled, and having the right gear to ensure your survival if your original plan went belly up.
Keep those videos coming girl, they are always a joy to watch. Stay safe n God bless you.
Wonderful demonstration of perseverance. A credit to you for sticking with it where many would have thrown it in. Thanks for the video and the lesson.
Well done Claire for showing your great action video. I;m sure you will remember this adventure for a very long time. Well done and thank you. Stay Safe.
Life experience, that’s what it’s about. Makes you stronger, builds memories. You are due a break. Love it.
Great adventure perfectly presented in this video - thank you so much! 🤗
Stumbled across your channel. During calm times I must say you have an ASMR voice. I live in Northern California with a 14,000 ft mountain in my front yard. I am impressed with your grit and positive attitude. As an outdoorsman the best piece of advice I can give you is NEVER panic when faced with adverse conditions. Panic leads to poor decision making and will make things worse. Enjoy your adventures and I look forward to more of your videos. Take care.
I really love your vids, you are so chilled and know what you are talking about. Lovely person, please never change 😊
Love it. Your so cute how you just roll with it with a laugh and a smile. That's the best part that smile of yours. Great scenery and great video.
Well done you. It makes for a good memory and hopefully the challenge of the evening makes you more knowledgable in your pursuits. All the best Derek
It's little 'challenges' like these that make the experience that little bit sweeter at the end. You will never feel more alive than when you are millimetres from death. Testing ones resolve in such circumstances will only ever make you stronger. Well done you.
Welcome to my county, although challenging, I’m glad you enjoyed it Claire. Another top vid, thank you for sharing with us all 👍🏼😉😀
Great Adventure and a fascinating insight into the difficulties of pitching a tent in strong winds & unpredictable terrain.
Really enjoyed your Peak District Adventure
Thank you Graham :) Hope you're having a lovely weekend! Claire 🐻
Great video, looks like Bleaklow gave you the traditional welcome it usually hands out to people! The Peak District is like my back garden and it's very amusing when heading up Bleaklow 'it's a good day for it' a passing hiker will mutter, you have to just chuckle and simply know it's not going to be up top! The place you camped is probably one of the best up there, at least it provides the odd bit of shelter
Middle Black Clough is also one of the more impressive waterfalls we have up here, so that was nice that you saw it!
Your editing is exceptional as always, thankyou for the video, hope you had a great time up here, come again soon! 😀 👍
Nice going. That's what its all about. Adapting and perservering to what is thrown at you, especially when you have no other options. You'll remember this experience for both the good and the bad and the lessons learned from it. I enjoyed the video.
Awesome Lady. Certainly merits a mini-series on mainstream TV. As a female Mum, Presenter, Outdoors enthusiast/expert and encouraging figure for others, inc girls to put their phones down and get some boots on, she’d be an absolute winner.
You are a champion young lady, thank you for sharing. Love your work.
It’s a joy hearing you celebrate the good things in life. Well done.
Thank you wild one. So strong, you are. Mad determination indeed! Thank you. Peace.
Wow Claire, that certainly was a challenge. I have to give it too you for your determination and resolve! It’s definitely good to challenge oneself but also to have the greatest respect for your surroundings and Mother Nature.
Glad it all worked out in the end, some dramatic footage and great narration. Stay safe
Thanks Richard :) yeh the Peaks was more challenging than I expected it to be 😄 hope you're having a great week! 🌿🐻
That fight with the tent was epic, good on you for sticking with it, i hope the next one goes smoother.
Great video loving the waterfall the Peak District can be a wild place especially in wind and rain but you showed us that it can be done and it's these moments struggling putting the tent up that you will remember in years to come and think I did that. It all adds to the adventure and like you said pushing yourself out of your comfort zone can be a good thing from time to time. Looking forward to the next video.
Well done Claire....these beautiful and remote places are that way for a reason...hard to live there year in and out. All that glitters and gold, but you rose to rhe challenge none the less. All we can ever do is our best and nature is the one that decides. Great advice about having a back-up plan and expect the neglected. My water bladder split Saturday night, during all this heat and thankfully I had another with two litres in it, or I'd have been in real trouble.
Wow Claire, you are an absolute machine fair play!! Most people would have abandoned that one but not you and yet again all done with that unbelievable smile and enthusiasm that only you have 🙏🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼❤️
Another inspiring video! You remind me to get out of my comfort zone, so thank you.
A great video. It highlights how quickly the weather can change and also how you need to be prepared for the challenges that the weather can throw at you.
Bloody brilliant miss beare. Me and my mate ash got are rears kicked on scafell a month or so ago I lost my tent it truly kicked are arse and taught us both valuable lessons. Perseverance and resilience is a gift for those who have it. Well done young lady very impressive.
❤️. That was awesome! Thanks for having me along.
You have a core of steel. You're smart, resourceful, & persistent. Great video.
Wonderfully done Claire.. your determination is admirable. Keep up the good work..!
Another brilliant video. Great quality and footage as usual. And well done for persivering and taking yourself out your comfort zone. All the best for the next one.
Great job! You did it. Never quit never gave up. Always believed you would get the tent up. Such an inspiration. Love and Positivity Your Way ❤️🤙🏽
You have a good heart and a strong spirit, both of which are evident in your videos, especially this one. May you enjoy great adventures for many years to come, thank you for sharing them with us.
You always remember (fondly) of the times things didn't go to plan. A perfect holiday vanishes in the mists of time. The disasters are the memorable ones. I admire your tenacity. I would probably have set fire to the tent and gone home. Love the Peaks though.
👍👍👍
Any Outdoor Excursion that one walked away from and got back home safely was (perhaps not at the time .. but rather later in retrospect) a good one.
"Life is like a Box of Chocolates" .. etc .. A Plan B is always a good thing 😊.
Strange though, it's those Trips that remain with one .. and gives one the most enjoyment in sharing with others.
Looking at that Breeze .. the Tent performance (and your 'never say die' attitude 😏) seemed to be pretty impressive.
Thanks for sharing ..
Simply amazing. I don't need to say anymore!
Thanks Claire! Awesome video, Looked like a proper challenge 👍😉💖
Wow, tough. But the hard times make the best stories we tell about again and again. Well done keeping your wits and achieving your goal.
All part of the learning curve! Knowing your capabilities and limits and knowing when to bail and when you can carry on are really important factors when out in the elements. Good vid, atb Andy
Brilliant vid as always. Great that you had the bivy just in case too. Well done getting that tent up! Take care.
very beautiful scenery, watching from Indonesia, greetings one hobby 👍
WOW!!! Wild one... Miss wild one. Great job. Another great vid Clair. Love from Australia. 😍👍👍
I thought you were being a bit moany at first but then I got genuinely anxious on your behalf as you were struggling to put the tent up against the clock and the rapidly disappearing sunlight... What a journey! Epic.
Welcome to the windy Peak District. It’s been very windy whenever I’ve camped there so not surprised you had to wrestle your tent up. Well done to you for persevering and getting set up.👍George
Everywhere is windy if you camp in an exposed flat area that has no wind breaks. Ridiculous and naive place to camp.
Wow. That was hard to watch. I was in tears watching the frustration in your face. I’m glad we got to see the vid means your ok now. Despite your struggles you seem to be getting on with the tent better now.
Great video in the beautiful Peak District and well done Claire....😀👌
You’re a trooper Claire, stuck to your plan and didn’t let the worsening conditions win. Nicely done!
Great grit and perseverance. Well done!!
That was quite a different experience to the videos I am used to seeing from you. But even more so: Hats off to your diligence and preparedness to handle the situation properly!
Fab adventure & video. The little Lanshan came up trumps after your previous probs with it. Interesting what you said about the walking pole versus the tent poles. Thanks for taking us on your adventures x
Breathe-taking beginning! Thank you for sharing
hey wildbeare your content is awesome i love watching and living priceriously through you in these beautiful places you visit, i love to get out myself but i dont go far, its amazing to see you enjoying the storms and showing your skills dealing with the extreme conditions you put yourself in. keep doing what your are doing, much love and respect.
Well done you for persevering. Thanks, as ever, for sharing your journey ✨
Love your videos and the way you film the surroundings... its also so refreshing to see when things don't go to plan as always happens when doing these type of adventures..
The Peaks often gets underestimated because it’s not as ‘big’ as The Lakes or Snowdonia. But it it is just as beautiful, and will kick your ass equally as hard! There’s so much more of the peaks to explore and I hope you come back and see what it has to offer. Next time you’re here, head to the Hope Valley, it’s a bit more lively and has a bit more to see and do.
Great video, hope you come back soon!
Brilliant vid Claire. Impressed with your perseverance in very trying conditions. Well done!
Just had your channel come up I’m my feed.
I’m really pleased I clicked as I watched a couple of your videos and loved them.
I’ll look back over some more of your videos 😊👍
It's a 10 for you, a 10 for your amazing filming, editing and production, and 11 for that little tent.
Haha aww thanks! 🤩 I was certainly proud of my lil Lanshan that night 😄 Have a great week :) 🌿🐻
Beautiful country! Thanks for sharing Dave
I'm so pleased that you came through ok. It could have been so uncomfortable or even dangerous..wind and rain is not good on the moors. Lovely to see you recovering with a morning swim. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, what a fantastic video. Your determination really carried you through, real drama watching you put your tent up.
Brilliant your a real survivor it gives me confidence about wild camping watching your content thank you
Hi Claire, you have summed up the Peak District really well, it is so unpredictable thats for sure. I have lived on the edge of it for over half a century and it never seems to amaze me, just one example when I went out for a walk over Brown Knoll towards Kinder Low, I started in bright spring sunshine and as I progressed it rained, then the rain turned to hail and then back to sun, for not long the sun was soon replaced by snow and lots of it and heavy winds, in the space of my 1 to 1.5 mile walk back to the car I was returning in 5" plus of snow that was drifting in the cuts and gulleys, making navigation and following the paths almost impossible. Lucky for me I was prepared and made it back in one piece. I have also visited the middle back clough waterfall, it is a beautiful sight nestled away in the craggy moors. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel, you have a new subscriber 👍😁
ATB Andy
Wow! What a challenging camp! You did a great job overcoming the obstacles nature threw at you! Well done! You’re a badass!! Thanks for sharing
