My First Ever Multi-Night Adventure • 3 Nights Alone in the Wild • DAY 1 in the Rhinogs, Eryri

With a bit of nerves, I set out on my first multi-night trip, to the beautiful and remote Rhinog Mountains wilderness. On day 1, I ascended the majestic Roman Steps and made camp in the rugged shadow of Rhinog Fawr.

[@PaulMessner]

Great adventure and attitude to getting out in the wild. Wet feet and boggy ground is guaranteed in Wales. Lovely scenery though. Thanks for taking us along.

[@WildBeare]

Thanks for watching Paul :D day 2 kicked my ass but was totally worth it, amazing place up there ❤

[@spongebobgrumpypants6862]

What I have found with KZbin is there are so many superb film makers on here making quality contributions with what is probably only a few hundred pounds worth of equipment (decent phone). The large broadcasting corporations have budgets of £millions but some of these KZbin videos are as good, if not better. Claire is certainly one of the contributors who continues to provide us all with extremely well presented, quality material.

[@greatlambrini8722]

I would suggest that some broadcasting company snap her up for presenting something. She is a natural.

[@catherinehoward1102]

I found you whilst lying in bed recovering from abdominal surgery and absolutely love your videos. I started watching them in 'backwards' order, then decided to go 'oldest first' It's fascinating to see how you do things differently and to realise how much more confident you are now! X

[@georgeengland1699]

Lovely scenery, no way could I walk all that way with such a huge pack but it's great see it all from my sofa and much nicer than the rubbish on TV.

[@greatlambrini8722]

What a joy this woman is. Eternally cheerful and beautiful nature. The best ever company to have on a day’s hike.

[@oreilly1237878]

Supertough Wildbeare continues her fascinating adventures through wild difficult terrain.We wish her all the best with her great travel vlog.Keep safe Wildbeare.

The silence @5:14 and again @13:50 just wow! Just love the videos Claire, it's just such a relaxing watch. Ps I know its 2yrs old, but im watching them as they appear on screen 😊

[@jeffpiercy3099]

Claire...seriously it's like watching the Discovery Channel...love it, awesome!

[@WildBeare]

Aw wow thanks so much Jeff 😁🌿

[@tommyason8764]

To look at your videos is like medicine for my soul❤

[@RoeObrien]

How can a person not fall in love with this lass, I just wild camping, discovered wild bear whilst on wandering where s site, fantastic way to see these awesome off the path places ,who better to show you with such passion for what is right in front of us, nice one lovely lass, watching your journeys heals me , keep doing it. All the best and happy travels to you and yours.

[@dperk1757]

Amazing. I was lucky enough to have North Wales as my local playground for a short time in the 1980’s and your trips and expert cinematography are fabulous, thank you.

[@MyMountaingoat]

10/10 for effort. You picked probably the most remote area in Snowdonia and the Rhinogs is a proper mountain day not to be under estimated as you found out. But i love your energy and beautiful smile always worth watching 😉

[@WildCamper]

It really is something special to be in the middle of nowhere with no phone signal or easy way out. It's that thrill I relish when out in places like this. This location looks lovely may well pop up there at some point for a few days. ATB Rob

[@WildBeare]

It's gorgeous, day 2 was interesting as the paths disappeared 😅 properly wild, you'll love it

[@WildCamper]

@@WildBeare can't wait 👍

[@WildCamper]

See you liked Dan (camp life buscrafts ) pic on insta he took today of me and him in a field (I was by the tree with beer 🍻) just back in from that walk. Was so good to be out soaking up the nature vibes!

[@richardthomson203]

As someone who came from Scotland to Beddgelert in Snowdonia for nearly 30 years in February by motorcycle to camp in the forests, i loved your adventure, cracking scenery, great views and gorgeous lady ! 👌

[@paultheprofiteer6898]

I really admire what you do, very adventurous/brave of you and the scenery is breath taking.

[@WildBeare]

Aw thanks Paul, it blew my mind a lil bit, I'm used to the Snowdon range & Caider area but the beauty & isolation here is something else!

[@BourneOutside]

Epic views/scenery on Day 1, Claire. Those Roman Steps looked a killer! Home from home on the rock. Most comfortable 😉👍

[@WyeExplorer]

Good up there Tim. Trust you're well mate.

[@BourneOutside]

@@WyeExplorer Truly are, Mark 👍🏼 All well thank you. I hope you are as well? 👋🏼😉

[@WyeExplorer]

@@BourneOutside Hey, good to hear Tim. Getting on mate. Peace!

[@norseman1137]

Sometimes in the mountains it can be hard to find a decent pitch ... Rocks grass clumps bogs etc...it often helps to have a small footprint tent or one man bivi... As much easier to find a place to sleep... In the past I've taken a tarp (erected on wall or trekking poles) as admin area and then hooped bivi to sleep IN.. but it's nice to have the room in a Decent tent too... so pros and cons

[@Pakemoagaming]

So beautiful and what an adventure

[@stephenmilam5562]

My son and I stumbled across your channel and been watching it all morning. You're amazing have big balls, admirable.

[@davidyendoll5903]

Thirty years ago I saw only my two companions all day at the Rhinogs ! The rock is rough on your boot soles and it holds the water , a bit like Dartmoor but higher . On a clear day you can see for miles , but I doubt I would wild camp as the wind can come up really quickly ..... you are maybe five miles from the sea and up high ! Looking out to the West I remember some very stunted trees , probably three feet tall and old old . Shane , my friend , pointed out some movement he had noticed in one of the trees . There was a newt on a tree branch . It is the only time I have seen a wild newt . How very strange to find a newt so high up , but I swear we saw it ! Fair play to Claire !

[@My24hradventure]

Oh, what an awesome adventure. As for me, I'm on the Chilterns tonight, should be a good sunset 😊👍🏕

[@donnywilkes6417]

It must be amazing to hike such historical places . I pray for your safety camping alone. Youre living a life most can only dream of.

[@cherrygaisford9810]

These mountains are amazing and so beautiful

[@robertbrunston5406]

Ok beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@miketaylor6700]

I agree.. we all need to get out of our comfort zone once in a while. I just spent 3days hiking some snowy trails way back in the Sawtooth mountains of Idaho. I found a Hotsprings and soaked for an hour!!! It’s wonderful when you get out and hike a while... it’s amazing what you’ll see.

[@chrisgonecamping]

Ive seen recent and this earlier video. Simply? Captivating! What you chose to stop, do a still photo absolutely splendid! Teaching as you go this 'fan' is very appreciative. Thank you

[@WyeExplorer]

Wow, super far out. I prefer the Rhinogs to North Snowdonia. As you now know just simply wild - some of the last wilderness in Wales. Well done for stepping into the zone so to speak. I absolutely love going off piste into them bogs. And the sound in these wilderness areas is just so pure and perfect. It's no wonder we feel cleansed when we commune there. Well, looking forward to seeing how it unfolds. Good going. Mark

[@stephengraham8629]

Good on you, live the dream and enjoy it all

[@John_UK_]

..hi, beautifully filmed, and enhanced by the accompanying music an absolute delight 🚶

[@sean-wh3it]

All a learning curve 45 years I've been doin it and still learning trouble now the mind is still willing but my hips and back have different ideas

[@matthewstudholmebrown1943]

Oh my god what a lovely trip and a fantastic trip to watch xxxx Matt & Lorraine

[@aland6785]

I once found a clear, dry spot between fach and fawr! Great video, brought back memories. Cheers

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

The reality is, especially being a woman is that your are safer in the wilds of Wales than 100m from your own front door in a town or city. Well done for braving it though as it does take a bit of a nerve to go feral for a few days. I make my own MRE type daypacks for food using dehydrated food and a vacumn sealer. I copy items simialr to the army packs but in dry form. Multi day camps in the wilds you need to cut down food weight and rely on the water around you just like you did. Great video & great location.

[@cliveduncan1152]

What a voice,What a Woman and as pretty as a picture.Happy New year Mrs Beare to you and your family.👍

[@martinforrester8249]

Hiked and wild camped here numerous times. The Rhinogs are the wildest, roughest of the Snowdon ranges, although not a high range, are more difficult to cross without lots of scrambling. Trails are not always very evident either, also lots of wild goats roaming everywhere. A great more remote challenge makes for exciting days, enjoy.

[@vicsaul5459]

Wild! C: that's one of ur best so far, happy place, ' land of my fathers', rugged beauty of Cymru

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Well done you look forward to part two

[@fredcarter7003]

All the colors in the landscape is just perfect

[@dougmackinnon243]

I love your videos I learn something new from each video

[@nickm9370]

Quite a video, that - the footage and the soundtrack are frankly spectacular. Been watching your stuff during my long recovery from a life-threatening condition - pretty much "there" now. Thank you SO much for keeping me in touch with this sort of thing along the way. As I sip my coffee in my camping hammock before I go to sleep, I make a quiet toast to you.

[@martinkingston1498]

A wonderfully made film about an area that I had not previously heard of, which is strange because it's so beautiful. A hidden gem. It definitely has the feeling of a more remote wilderness though, which might put some people off venturing there alone. But trips like these are wonderful for the mind, heart and soul, and there is nothing like spending time in nature, in quiet solitude, with nothing to cloud one's thoughts, in complete self reliance. It puts things in perspective.

[@razifmahathir2437]

Awesome footage and scenery .👍can't wait for part 2. ATVB and stay safe from sunny Malaysia 😷🏕🇲🇾

[@WildBeare]

Helloooo from England, thank you for watching :D

[@kevinconnolly5710]

It reminds me so much of Donegal, especially the bog everywhere you try to step.

[@richardhale2449]

That is certainly some wild and desolate countryside, I'm surprised you found somewhere to camp but you looked to be in your element so good on you.

[@mikeemery3937]

😁 been waiting for this!! going to wait and watch it with the little one...just going to get her from school!!....comments to be continued‼️ Well, thanks Claire...we finished watching and then proceeded to pack, unpack, repack, adjust, unpack then pack again!! She's 10 and enjoys your videos and the landscapes (I'm now asked if the pink bunny is coming back though??). This was like watching a movie with your cinematography and editing. Can't wait for the next one...brilliant 🏕 🔥 👍🏻

I very much like your film-making - you know just what to shoot. As you were ascending the Roman Steps, the area to your left (north) is exceptionally complex. It took me more than ten walks to explore it properly, and the views east from there are my favourite in Snowdonia.

My Yorkshire wife has been with me in Wales for 12 years now. I remember her first attempts. Ha. She's got it now though. It seems alien to me that people would struggle with our Ff or Rh. What a beautiful language though.
