A Solo Hiking, Camping & Waterfall Adventure. This one didn't go to plan (but it was pretty special)

[@WildBeare]

Hey Wild Ones 👋 It’s been a mad few weeks here for me! My secret project has been attempted, I’m still alive (hurray!) and the video is next on the editing pile. It involves 5 nights, 6 days, the longest walk of my life so far and is altogether slightly nuts. It’s coming next :D But, it is the longest time I’ve ever been out so it’ll likely be a long video and take me a long time to edit. Very excited to get stuck into it. Hope you’re all good and coping ok with this cold summer we’ve been having, pretty rubbish isn’t it. Much Love, CB 🌿🐻Xx

[@ClemThomas-on4db]

Following sheep trails can get you stuck on cliffs as sheep are famous for getting stuck

[@Khumry]

wales is magical

[@Alexmontis3843]

looking forward to see it

[@scottosborne2915]

ha so this is the 1st part of the video when the sky was on crack and how weird but beautiful that was looked like when you took a dip it looked dam cold

[@greengoblin144]

Can't wait! X

[@tonysardane]

At 83 years of age my days of solitary wandering in the wild are over, so I value the vicarious experience of coming on your trips. I have to say that the quality of your filming and editing gets better and better. Keep going: you remind me of what I used to do and help evoke happy memories.

[@WildBeare]

Hi, so glad you can 'come along with me' for these :D thank you so much, I love learning the filming & video creation stuff, tis good fun. Have a lovely weekend 🌿🌿

That was great, inspiring, i feel all relaxed now.

[@mickymillersson4376]

Five years behind you Tony at 78, but right there with you on memories of my hiking days. Claire captures that feeling that, when you’re out there it all belongs just to you. Magic. Only wish I’d had the gear the young uns have today.

I'm still envious that you got to see the northern lights in that environment. Thanks for taking us along on another adventure!

[@paulm5443]

What an experience you have had. Some people travel all the way to the arctic circle to see the lights and leave disappointed. I'm 71 and never seen them. That's something you will never forget. 👍👍👍

[@bujin1977]

I travelled to Iceland last year to see the Northern Lights, and they forgot to switch the lights on. Hoping that our return trip there this October is a bit more successful!

[@WildBeare]

yeh I still can't believe it, so amazing. Hope you'll see them at some point :) maybe they'll be back

[@WildBeare]

@@bujin1977 ahh hope you catch them this time round! I went in October too and saw them, pale green ribbons in the sky, nothing like this though

[@FreedomTooBe]

I caught some Can't -Escape-Civilisation ones and WOW. There are no words. My sister and I shouted so much. Pink effing pillars. When does lower Michigan ever get that? Very lucky indeed.

[@Sean-pendragon]

The play of colors in the sky is absolutely beautiful. It is the Arora.

[@mindexplorer6929]

You are so lucky having seen this beautiful northern lights!

[@AbleReason]

That night of magic is one of the most precious gifts you will ever receive. To experience an event so rare and magnificent with no warning or anticipation and in a place that displayed it so purely without distraction is truly exceptional. Lovely.

[@Lee-m3y]

Watching your reaction to the Northern Lights was really emotional such a unique experience ❤

[@richard_n]

Waterfalls are probably my favorite hiking destination. The sound of moving water soothes me like nothing else. Falls, streams, waves, etc as long as they make noise I'm happy.

[@buffplums]

28:04 OHHH the Northern Lights I wish I could have seen these I keep missing them they are so beautiful Claire xx❤

[@richardmacyczko1580]

I was so . . . happy for you that you've finally got to camp without a torrential rain. THEN you drench your shirt, pour a bottle of water over yourself, and even soak your hat. You're full of surprises Claire. Thank you for sharing!

[@daviddilley8310]

I literally got tingles when the northern lights showed. I was in Cornwall and it was incredible ❤ what an experience 😊

[@colinsweetman6745]

The quality of your videography and editing is really outstanding. I really enjoy your videos not just because of the terrific content, but also because of the super high standards of video and audio. Thank you!

[@WildBeare]

Ahh thanks! Audio I find the hardest what with wind / water etc and being on the move. And mics often cause more issues than they solve so it's a real learning curve. Appreciate you watching my videos :) hope you have a great week 🌿

[@UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ]

You're so fortunate to have been in that place at that time in those circumstances. What an incredible moment.

[@dont_delay]

I've lost my nerve and solo camp in the garden ! Your videos keep motivating me so thank you.

[@thomasmusso1147]

'Lost nerve' .. I don't even have a garden 😏 . The closest I have come to doing a 'home' overnighter, is testing my sleeping bags during the coldest Winter nights on my third floor flat balcony with all glass doors wide open 😁. I do though, regularly cook on the balcony when 'home-alone' babysitting the Pooch and when testing new 'home-grown' alcohol burners, pot stands, and such .. and new recipes, before taking them outside.

[@WildBeare]

hey it's a night out :D I don't have a garden but if I did I'd be using it for sure 🌿💚🏕 hope you had a good time

[@ptonpc]

You are still doing better than most people. One day at a time.

What a magical hike. Not just the Borealis but the environment in general. From a distance of 6000 miles and 30 years, you allowed me a sense memory of the way everything feels and smells about Wales. I miss it, so thank you WildBeare for your Channel, and for bringing wonderful memories back into my consciousness.

thanks for taking us along Claire! What abeautifull trip, sharing it with someone makes it so much better, It makes me think of my son who lives in wales,and who I havent seen for 3 years. I miss him alot and dont know when I will see him again,he says he loves wales and doesent want to ever come back to the states,he is with a group now who are working to try and save the welsh language and has gotten accepted into a college there to finish out his last year in school and get his degree, Its kind of a strange thing ,but mhy people left Wales in 1680 and now he has gone back. Its crazy how things work out some times,,best wishes for you Claire.

[@Yandarval]

"Bailing" on the first hill is assessing the risk. Alone and with your hypermobility. You are taking care of yourself. A tumble and you may do serious damage. So you do not need to apologise to anyone, including yourself. Seeing the wonders of the solar particles hitting the atmosphere is more that enough for this trip. The light AND an new PB for skulls. What more do you want from a single trip, Claire. :)

[@WildBeare]

Heyy thanks yeh I seem to get more aware of risk the older I get 😄 it really was beautiful wasn't it 😍 and it'll be a while before I find more than 4 skulls I reckon haha. Thanks for watching :) hope you have a lovely weekend
