- Day 2 of hiking Moel Siabod in Snowdonia was just beautiful, with snowy views first thing in the morning, rainbows and blue skies filled with fluffy clouds. The whole day was in total contrast to the madness of the first; heading down into a gorgeous valley, relaxed hiking, perfect weather and a lovely camp on a rocky outcrop sheltered in mossy woodland.

Don't ever underestimate how much an inspiration this sort of stuff is for the rest of us.
I never get tired of hearing Claire say ‘morning’ when she’s all snuggly and cosy. It’s so cute!🐻🤗
Never get tired of her saying "It's beautiful" - seek the good in all and appreciate
Been let my daughter watch your videos with me trying to get her out with me more. Got me a hammock for Christmas had her out swinging in it. Hope by letting her watch your vids she'll know its not just for boys. Lol. Love your vids.
Hi David this is amazing, bet she loves the hammock, it's my sons fav way of camping so far :) thank you so much and have a lovely eve 🌿💚
You can always see and feel how important these trips are to you and I know a lot of us feel the same. Thank you for bringing them into our homes ☺️
Thank you so much for coming along on them with me :) 💚
I suffer from anxiety and depression and your videos make me feel as though if you can tackle diversity, so can I. Thank you.
Nice one Claire... To commit to doing all that in spite of the conditions AND to balance it up with having to get back over a 4 hour journey to pick up your son... You're awesome!
Blimey Claire! That tree crossing was dangerous!! Thank goodness you dropped down on your bum!!!👏👌
It wasn't very high, but would have given me a nasty soaking!
Young Lady you push yourself harder than some military groups I have been associated with in my younger years . You do more in an overnighter than most young people do all year . I am so impressed with who you are and what you do. You go through a lot of discomfort to make these vids . I for one appreciate what you do . Thank you for sharing your adventures with us . Be safe and stay well .
the worse the weather, the more comfortable you look in the tent. And behind the tent is beauty!
Something very cosy about being snug in bad cold weather 🥰
@@WildBeare Absolutely Alex very difficult to get motivated the next day, unless you are thru hiking long distance, because it becomes more of a habit to get up go out continue on a long journey, I found that out on a 10 day hike in Hardangervidda Horedeland Norway in October conditions in high altitudes like our snowy winter conditions, but it would rain often and the first few days motivating yourself is not easy, then you realise how much food you are carrying and in the middle of a national park 5 times the size of Snowdonia and totally remote, that you have to turn back or continue, and that time of year when you go far into the mountains there is no one nobody for days! I love this it brings out the primal survival spirit in yourself to keep going!
Must be really nice to arrive home after another winter adventure in the great outdoors and snuggle down knowing you have tasted the wild beauty of the mountains and been challenged in every which way 🎶
Ahh yes it is indeed :) also back to emails and reality haha
You are wholly admirable, Claire, with your physical courage in the face of weather conditions that send lesser mortals straight back to their cars, and the moral courage to face your fears!
Oh Clare, always such a joy watching your adventures. You are an amazingly tough, brave cookie and always have a brilliant smile. A real inspiration to us all. Wishing you happy and safe times. Xxx
Watched this in a wood doing my first ever bivvy wild camp (in sub-zero temperatures). Just 1 middle-aged lady and the owls. You are an inspiration!
Very inspiring video. I have yet to solo backpack but this year will be my first. Thank you for always putting up entertaining videos for your viewers. Cheers from U.S.
What an epic trip that was Claire, thankyou for the armchair trip. You definitely tackled some mega tough conditions on this one, but you came through with flying colours and conquered them. You have my utmost respect Claire, you're an inspiration and a leader to others. A huge well done to you x
Aw thanks Adrian that's very kind of you 😊 appreciate you coming along with me :D happy Friday to you
It has been a real pleasure watching you grow into the adventurer you have now become; beautiful filming, very interesting vlogs , and a lovely person. I'm sure all of us are glad to see a new WildBeare posting...I know I am.
Aw yay thank you so much Mark 🥰 hope you have a lovely weekend :)
If you have wet walking boots in the morning, but dry socks a good tip is get two plastic bread bags and put them over the dry socks then into the boots. The boots will eventually dry out but your socks will still be dry! The bags weigh next to nothing and it is a good hack to keep your dry socks from getting soaked straight away 😃
Good call, I used the bags off bread for years between socks and work boots on many water logged construction sites, they have amazing resistance to holing and tearing. Always take some when hiking.
Great set of vids. They had everything, weather, views, overnights, challenges; all beautifully edited . Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Thank you so much for coming along with me Andy 😊🌿💚
Nice so much.
Thank you.
Still one of the most enjoyable trips, you can sense the in trepidation at the start of this journey, your soul was out there ! The sound track and narrative was beautiful, and captured the moment, (autumn) my go too when I need to feel warmth , Clare. ❤”bit late on this” commented on release….Charming, Canny lass
I really do enjoy watching your adventures. We definitely need to see more women braving the outdoors and pushing the boundaries. Great video xx
Hi Rachel! Aw yay thanks, so glad you like them, I love to share them with you guys :) yehh I agree, have you been out much lately? I remember your first overnighter a few months ago :D
@@WildBeare I’m hoping to do a woodland wild camp next week. At present I only have time to do little micro adventures of just one night. Hopefully in the summer I’ll be able to go further and do longer trips.
Keep making great content, love your honest and authentic approach ☺️
You can feel your love of freedom and the outdoors throughout your videos 👊🏻🏅👊🏻
I absolutely adore this young lass. Absolutely enjoy the video segments. Like the daughter I wish I had. Super down to Earth.
Respect and love of Nature and Solo adventuring is awesome. You are beautiful in all ways kiddo.
Stay sharp, stay healthy, stay real. I believe in one if your segments you had a son. Have you exposed him to the wonders of time in the outdoors?
Stay well Claire. Irish Bob thinks you are awesome.
Life is much more than computer games and reality TV. I hope you inspire many girls to broaden their horizons.
Don't underestimate the healing power of computer games when you can't face going out of the house - but if you can make that leap then, yes, nature is a stronger healer.
Thanks for all the effort you put in to share your life with your audience. The conditions aren’t easy on top of everything else you have to think about.
Thank you!❤️
Bryan from Vancouver
That was really brilliant Claire,your filming is just superb,the quality is fabulous to watch,so clear well done.Not gonna lie,that fallen tree crossing you done,so glad you made it across 😂😂nervous for you.best wishes.
Aw thank you Ian :) ahh yeh it wasn't high, but would have gotten a good soaking if I'd have fallen in. Best wishes to you too :D
Moel Siabod has been on my list for a while and this has confirmed for me I want to get over and spend a day on it! Great couple of videos
I am approaching 65, you are inspiring me to get out and go wild camping for the first time since I left the services
Love it Claire, although I must admit you had my heart in my mouth when you were crossing on the fallen tree. Well done matey 👍
Really enjoyed this, you an inspiration! I have never been brave enough to go out as a lone woman, but your videos are making think that maybe I could.
Feels like freedom. Thank you
Servus Danke war wieder ein Toller Ausflug, wäre ich auch gern dabei Wetter ist ja wirklich nicht schön, Da hast DU doppelt Gewonnen🤗💓 LG Michael
In bed not well with a lemsip then seen this and felt warm and cozy suddenly 😀
Thanks for sharing another adventure with us Claire. I loved the colors in the area you were in when you got up and started walking. Looked like Fall colors. Loved the piano music. So happy for you that you get to get out there. Can't wait to see the next one. Cheers!
You are amazing!! I wish I had the balls to solo camp in the complete wilderness!! You're a truly inspiring lady! x
Ahh thank you, I bet you could do it! Hope you give it a go some time :D
Can I ask you what is holding you back?
Raaa Ch: Try shorter trips, in easy stages to build your confidence. A walk along a coastal path, stopping off at a cafe for lunch.
The coast is easy to get to and if you take a pair of binoculars or camera, you can enjoy the local wildlife and the fresh air.
Persuade your partner or a friend to go with you and build those memories together.
Or try a camping ground near a local beauty spot. You can have the facilities and other folks, not too far away, to ensure you are safe.
Paul Messner, another You Tuber, persuaded his wife to go Winter camping on such a site and she enjoyed herself, although she was sceptical to begin with.
I like this. it's not about how far, or the destination, but the adventures 😊
You never cease to amaze me, I like your spunk and attitude. I've been following your adventures for a while you certainly like adventure. Just always be very careful. 50 years ago I used to backpack to some very high lakes to fish and back then I was in me early 20's, I'm so jealou..
Wonderful vlog Claire. Keep up the inspirational exploring. Always brilliant to watch
Thank you Asa :) wishing you a lovely eve :D
Thank you for sharing your adventure. I love all the flora and fauna you record. So beautiful.
Once again another work of art. The music, the views, the commentary, all of it works. Well done Claire. Fab vid. Keep safe.
Ahh thanks so much, so glad you liked it :) have a lovely eve :D
Thank you for sharing, Claire. 🙏 Very much appreciated!
Last year in the Peak District while solo wild camping I lost the path in a remote area, I was picking my way through a boggy area with lumpy grass when it just gave way any my legs disappeared, I was able to arrest myself by throwing myself forward at the waist, I have no idea how deep it was but it was scary, I’m always super careful now in boggy areas 😬
Ohhh my gawd that must have given you such a fright!! I've had that happen on Dartmoor before, fell down to my waist into a hidden watery hole, very glad it wasn't deeper! The trekking poles are a godsend on that kinda ground, still makes me nervous though, even if it's not deep it'd be so easy to break an ankle
You do such a splendid job of capturing the beauty of the landscape. Such a gorgeous area, but testing and trying as well...you handle it like a pro.
I absolutely love being in a tent, car or caravan when you hear the sound of rain on the roof and you are warm and snug in bed. But being in a tent if your are warm and comfy, you have the added advantage of knowing that you have made shelter for yourself and survived. Being one of the 3 essential elements to survival I guess it gives you that feeling of accomplishment.
You really nailed this one again Claire 👍👍👍😀😀😀 xxx
Aw thanks Chris, yep I totally agree, it really satisfies a primitive survival instinct doesn't it :D I love to be all cosy and hear the rain too 🌧 have a lovely week! 🌿 Claire
You are the picture of dedication!
Everything beautiful and that includes you. Another great adventure and enjoyed every moment. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.
You are amazing really enjoy watching your adventure
I always admire the beautiful nature. I'm watching a good video. Always have a safe backpacking.
Once you've acquired the skills to survive in the wild, you discover that you can thrive in the wild.
You're a gutsy lady Claire.!!!
Loving your videos Claire. They are so relaxing.
Cold 🥶 but fantastic 👏🏻 👌🏻 👍🏻 😀 thank you 😊

Thank you. Love your videos.
Love your videos. They are so relaxing. Thank you.
Absolutely wonderful, you came through, you made the decisions carried them out and in the end enjoyed it with a sense of achievement. And on a hillside

Yet again you nailed it Claire .Great filming ,great scenery and your enjoyment really comes through .I really enjoy your films .I would rather watch your adventures than any of the rubbish that’s on TV .Thanks for sharing .

Moel Siabod is a treat, well done enjoying it in that weather, love that you go off the beaten track, it’s what I always do, makes you feel like an adventurer 😊👍🏽♥️
so good xxxxx glad you did it.
I know you can’t keep up with all comment, but please know that you make a difference. My Boy Scouts love your videos. Thanks for the adventure.
Loved the opening shot.
It's always worth getting out of your comfort zone; the experiences are even more memorable and I certainly enjoyed you taking us along Claire!
That was amazing. Thanks for taking us along. Stay well and be careful.
Great content as always. So genuine and natural. Keep them coming and growing. Take care!
This was fantastic Claire!! Thank you so much! You are so inspiring!
I forgot to add that i was cringing when I watched you cross that log! Whew!!!
Love this vid Claire 😊💚
Great stuff Claire always love your vids and adventures.. So looking forward to a year of watching keep them rolling... Your such a star.
Hi Stephen, thank you so much I'm so glad you like them :) have a lovely eve :D
Brilliant
Thank you for your video. I hope the weather improves for you.
Stay safe.
Thank you for your wonderful videos and your enthusiasm. I don't have the opportunity to adventure in terrain like yours but enjoy that which I have. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for coming along on them with me :) ahh yeh I love a night in the local woods just as much as the mountains and high places, any nature is good nature 💚🌿 Have a lovely eve! Claire
@@WildBeare : Claire, you might enjoy the blog of another You Tuber. His channel is called, 'Simon a Bloke in the Woods' but he does a lot of camping and kayaking videos and gear reviews.
He has just uploaded a video of a walk along part of the Norfolk coast, with lots of seals sprawled out on the sand. I'm sure George would like to see them and as it is flatter terrain, there would be less risk of him falling and injuring himself, so you could both enjoy watching the wildlife together.
The seals looked very comical.
Your videos are always so well edited, I think a lot of your subscribers would love to see how you edit them and choose the music to accompany them, how you choose the area to explore etc. Good luck, take care of yourself and I look forward to your next adventure, wherever it may be.
Hi, love the vids. Watching you fill the water bottle my thought was that you need a wrist strap on it,those streams run fast after heavy rain. I’ve been camping since I was 11 or 12 and just bought a new backpacking tent to get out again this year. I’ve been going through my rucksack and swapping stuff around for new items.I will be 71 soon and I want to do the wainwrights this year. My son is a keen cyclist and has a small van kitted out as a day van so he can take his mountain bikes with him and have a base to come back to at night. Keep up with the videos as we love them and have fun on your adventures.💕👍
👍😁👍🏴 Fantastic 2 day Adventure clare. Really enjoyed following this one. Such stunning locations and even though planned it's great to go off piste and go with the flow as make for a more challenging and rewarding experience.. Superb clare 👍
As usual your videos are awesome you inspire me so much please don’t stop you do a great job I would love to go backpacking with you sometime.
Great video once again. For the tree crossing an option would be to put on your crampons to grip the bark better allowing you to walk over instead of the bum shuffle 😀
Great video you made the landscape more beautiful than it was keep up the 😊😊
Aw thank you Tony 😊🌿
Another great video, honest as always! I love looking back on my experiences as good times always outweigh not so good times. Isn't life great
Looked like an exciting trip. Have fun stay safe.
Awesome adventure Claire, and really well edited too 👍👏
Thank you Mr Bulldog :) have a lovely eve 🌿💚
You are absolutely hard as nails!!! Maximum respect!
I really enjoyed this one Claire and you're a hero for camping out in such filthy weather at this time of the year! ☔ I haven't been able to go camping for the last few years now due to lack of transport and your videos are ace!
Great video, thank you for sharing your adventures.
Fantastic tenacity! Great series! Really enjoy your outdoor adventures and this one was especially dear. Take care of yourself!
You make it look easy, I couldn't cope with the long nights this time of year... or the cold and wet! Respect 😉
Another great video such beautiful places so jealous lol
