Brutal Weather Mountain Camping on Glyder Fawr | Gale Force Wind, Heavy Rain & Hail! MSR Hubba NX
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ย. 2021
- I made my way up the Devils Kitchen from Llyn Idwal in beautiful weather, although there had been so much rain in the days before that the route had turned into mini waterfalls in places! This route up is a really fun scramble, but the slipperiness made it precarious
I made camp up at 700m on Glyder Fawr, close to Llyn y Cwn. I saw the stars & milky way before the weather turned. The winds actually got over 60mph gale-force gusts, although I didn’t know this at the time. I was sheltered by the rock buttress behind my tent at camp, but you can see how my tent still takes a battering. Without the shelter of the rock buttress it would have been pretty hairy indeed and may have been a pole-breaker
The next morning I made my way up to the 1000m summit in the crazy wind, rain & hail. The last 300m is a gentle ascent so there's nothing to get blown off of. Unsurprisingly I had the mountain to myself and didn’t see another person until I’d descended back down to Llyn Idwal. The weather continued to worsen as I made my way back to my car
Apart from the unfortunate wrecking of my filming gear again, I loved this lil trip and I’m super excited for more wintery weather & scenery :D

Whenever I feel negative and gloomy I watch one of Claire's vids to snap me out of it. Her positiveness and optimism are an inspiration.
I love watching Claire’s videos when it’s too hot to do anything. Adventures by proxy 😊
I agree it has personality and real. Unlike ame in a van that relies on her charm and glamour to gain views as much as she's lovely it gets but samey and not real id imagine her in air b and bs the rest of time not filming
My god that's some serious guts and tenacity there Claire. Shame about the lost footage but you've still crafted a beautifull video out of what you still captured, thoroughly enjoyable!
Well done Claire for achieving the summit in atrocious weather. Was worried about you descending on those slippery rocks, especially holding a camera in your hand. Don’t worry about getting footage, Safety first yeah? Much love
Heyy thanks :) anything sketchy is filmed on the go pro, which is hands free attached to my rucksack, no need to worry about me :)
Outward happiness is always a sign of internal anguish...
I see you......
I can relate!
-_-
great shots awesome location good viewing
Great video. I love laying in a tent, listening to the rain.
Why would two people give this inspirational video the thumbs down, strange... Keep 'em coming WILDBEARE..
Probably because of jeaulosy pal.
Breath of fresh air, what a precious soul you are Claire.
You certainly have balls climbing up that slippery slope.. you have earned my utmost respect. You are one amazing lady.
I don't think it's slippery there tbh, not sure why she's going up the waterfall parts which are dangerous when there's no need.
Hello, the weather is always bad in your country, but it is what a country, the hike is magnificent, you make me dream. Thank you for more. Bonjour , il fait toujours mauvais dans ton pays , mais c'est quel pays , la randonnée est magnifique tu me fait rêver.Merci a plus.
Good to see the sense of adventure still lives worldwide, you definitely are brave for being in those windy conditions with very little cover. And your nightsky photos are fantastic! Thanks for sharing..
Hi Claire, steep climb up Devils kitchen and up, slippery when wet, 🤣opens up on to Y Garn to the right and Glyder fawr to the left, castell y gwynt ( makes whistling noises on a windy day) and on towards Glyder fach, then keep going to the scree path down to Tryfan, love it up there, hope you enjoyed it, one of my fav climbs 🤗🤗🤗♥️👍🏽
Your tenacity is infectious, that weather would have had most of us calling for back up and you even manage to get those class night photo's.
Aw thanks, I enjoy a bit of bad weather, bad visibility puts me on edge more than wind & rain. I was sooo glad to get those night sky photos! I lost the evening camera footage when it broke but it recorded the star images 😍 thanks for watching :)
You are an amazing inspiration to me, an incredible happy joyous human, we could all learn a hell of a lot about how to keep smiling through this challenging thing called life. I wish you nothing but happiness. Thank you so much for these wonderful dream like vids, love the music too. Bye. Si, in Bristol x Aloha
Sometimes, when I watch your videos, I have to remember to breathe!
Great video Claire. A great example of how beautiful and brutal the Welsh wilderness is!
I attempted a walk around the Great Orme in Llandudno a few years back. A easy walk along tarmac of 6 miles, until the wind whipped up to near 80mph gusts which nearly put me over the wall between me and a drop into the Irish sea!
It’s such fun to watch your evolution into quite the respectable hillwalker. I can’t imagine why you had the mountain to yourself in hail, gale-force winds, and rain. 😜 Love the thrilled smiles, though, as you pressed on and endured!
Ahh thanks :D I have loads of fun up there hehe. First summit with no one else present this one I think! Yep I can't think why😄 Thank you for watching, and have a lovely eve :) Claire
You are such an inspirational person! Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing your great uncut real experiences with nature!
Absolutely wonderful adventures. Thanks again.
Croeso i Gymru! Welcome to Wales, but maybe next time show some extraordinary weather!!! LOL!! Love your vids,Den, Llangyfelach (just down the road from the 'Glyders'). X
Absolutely brilliant video and pics. Stunning landscape. Good on you not letting the weather stop you forging ahead. Keep up the great work.
Congratulations on getting through all this and thanks for the video. Amazing.
Great video, just wanted to add for the benefit of anyone wanting to follow in your footsteps that Llyn Idwal itself is an SSSI so wild camping anywhere near the lake is strictly prohibited under any circumstances, you were fine and far enough away, but just for anyone else looking into camping in that area. I'm a local wild camper and fell runner, you get used to the slippery rocks and high winds over time, but for short trips like this over that terrain you'd find you have much more grip with a pair of fell running shoes, or boots-wise I find something like the Inov8 Roclite 286's give you loads more grip and confidence than traditional style boots.
You are very courageous! Thank you for the ride!👍
Fantastic, your an inspiration. My whole family love your adventures
Hi Claire. There is a far less challenging route up through devils kitchen. That looked proper sketchy. Very brave to do that with a pack on. Was up there a few weeks back with poor conditions, and it's no joke. That said, i i still loved it. Ogwen valley is my happy place
Heyy Rich, this is the route up Devils Kitchen, I was using map compass and following the route along on view ranger too. I think maybe because there's so much water at the moment, it looks different because a lot of the 'path' is running water. Glad you like it, it's a beautiful place isn't it. Stunning here in the snow ❄
Hi Claire - There is an easier route up - if you look on the OS map it is the other path shown - you cross a wall/stile on the way up and won’t encounter so much water / sketchyness as you did. The path is clearly shown on strava. 👍
@@dylanwynroberts ahh the other path that goes up and around the top rather than straight up to devils kitchen? I like the scrambling to be fair, chose to do this one :) although the rocks are slippery as hell at the moment
Cool video Claire, I loved those night sky starry shots you took, just beautiful. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us all 😉👍🏼x
Claire you are so dedicated to getting where you set out to go and are such a brave soul dealing with the weather you faced. So glad you weren't hurt when you had your tumble. The mountains and the lake were so beautiful. Take care and stay safe. Thank you for sharing this amazing trip.
An epic adventure & all just a few hours away from a comfy Sofa & a warm bed. Its a great feeling to come through a jaunt up a hill like that, well done.
When my world gets crazy, I watch one of your videos. Thank you for all your cuteness and journeys !!
Wow, that sky... amazing 👏 lncredible and so inspiring 🙌
The capture of the night sky was epic. The change in weather is madness. Well done wild beare. giving your viewers and epic video. Stay safe and ATB
Absolutely stunning, beautiful! The scenery was incredible as well! For a place without trees that was incredible. What an adventure, thanks for sharing.
Holy Moley! What a trooper! Thanks for braving the weather and terrain to bring us some breathtaking views! The colors were amazing and the night sky with Milky Way divine! Wow.
What a gorgeous spot, even in bad weather - great video Claire!
Depuis la France. Un grand merci pour vos superbes vidéos. C'est toujours un grand plaisir de les visionner. Bravo.
An insane beautiful scenery.. I'm blown away too.. thank you for sharing your wild adventure 😀
You all ways have the most fantastic views. View with the stars was amazing.
Every time I watch your clips I am amazed at the beauty on view. Some of the scenery is very nice too.
This is really well shot and edited. It's so good that it's easy to overlook the thought, vision, skill and time involved.
That looked gorgeous even in that weather. You can see how people get into trouble on the mountains when the weather turns like that, glad you survived intact! Great video!
Thanks Martyn :) yeh absolutely, it's nice to have all the overnight stuff, even though it's a lot heavier of course but there's very little I couldn't survive up there with it
Hello 👋 Claire, thank you for sharing another exciting adventure video. You have great perseverance out there on the trail. Please take good care of yourself. All the best to you Dear for your good health and safety. 🤗
Great wild camping filmmaking, really enjoyed Glyder Fawr’s spectacular rugged scenery and the sound of the wind, and hail storm, from inside your tent was quite something!
Hello. I find it fantastic when a woman is traveling alone. More courage than many a man
Assolutamente fantastico, Claire.
Un video fantastico e un'esperienza meravigliosa
Yep, I can't do slippy rocks... but it's great to be able to watch your adventures.
What an awesome place to spend the night - and summits are always cool to achieve.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
What a trip!! I'm up there this weekend for a couple of nights wilding, weather looks considerably better, great video.
More fun in very wet and windy conditions.Its great to be at one with nature and relying on one's own self reliance.So peacefull your videos .Great.Thankyou.
You are amazing! Much love and respect from NZ 🇳🇿
I very much like the way you always put safety first, and include it in your videos. We have the same kind of considerations on our hills and mountains down here!
I too love winter tramping and camping. Its so exhilarating! 😍🙆🏻♀️🏕️🗻🏞️
This one
Well done. Your so brave . Look forward to seeing your next video.
Hello Claire. Wow what a journey you have taken us on. The weather was so bad for you yet you kept your spirits up. Thank you for sharing this with us. You have done more than i could have done there bless you. You appear never to give up and carry on like a mountain Lion. At least your alright and you must have been cold at some point.. Regards Mick.. x
Claire, you are amazing! fearless! thanks for taking us on your adventures! love it!
Aw thank you Neil :) by no means fearless but I do my best. Thanks for stopping by
Yup, there you go again leading from the front and showing us all the way it should be done. Tenacity and grit.
You are amazing Claire, and those night shots well... WoW xx
Happy Anniversary, keep doing what you love joe
wow Claire that looked well scary with the wind but what a Awesome adventure you had there and can't wait to see your next adventure Claire Lovely❤👍👌🙂❤
That is some gorgeous countryside and worth the steep hike for the solitude. I like the vertical walls on your tent. It appears spacious with a small footprint.
Love it!
You are a wild one to endure yet another punishing trip!
What a fitting capture your camera made just before it died, a stunning photo to remember it by, what a legacy for it to live on…
RIP Camera…
Stay safe,
Bryan from Vancouver
What amazing views I really enjoy watching your videos !
Hi Clare, I was watching that thinking there is much easier routes up and down. Good on you, that was brave.
Excellent video. You're an inspiration to everyone to get out and enjoy nature, no matter what their level of fitness. Start with small walks and work your way up to more adventurous endeavours and never let the weather stop you, as you always feel so much better for doing it. This is from someone who's been idle for a while and started going out woodland walking every evening again. Thanks for the inspiration.
Very beautiful scenery. Spectacular video! Well done! 🙌👏💪
OMG I didn't think that someone could be crazy, courageous, entertaining and beautiful in equal measures until I started watching your videos Claire.
I love your videos and you are a truly amazing lady and outdoors adventurer!
well done claire top video as allways happy you got back safe and sound blessings davey
10/10 for bravery and determination in those conditions. You are introducing Wales to the world.
Love your night shots of the stars! Peace. Thank you!
What an adventure! Well done! Beautiful scenery but it looked a bi dangerous from time to time. Glad you made it home safely 🙏🏻
My word Claire, I think you are a little bit MAD, glad you got through it unfazed. It's good to go on these outings with you thanks for taking us with you, love your videos, exciting stuff! ATB Sam
Love the night sky footage - epic ascend to the summit in that weather - keep doing your thing 🙏💪💪💪
Total babe and love seeing you always challenging yourself! amazing and the video quality is top notch! So enjoyable to watch
Being outside in the wilds of Britain is uplifting but when the elements hit and everyone else has left I feel positively alive (I also like the contrast of getting home to the warmth and a nice hot drink). Good to see another all weather person. Hope you do some winter camping. Stay safe.
Love the grit and determination. I have the same tent. It’s possible to set up and take down the inner with the rain fly, poles and ground sheet placed and secured first. It takes a little maneuvering but definitely helps keep your living area dry. Keep on with the adventures!!!
Really great video Claire. Epic adventure & so nicely edited together. Thank you so much for sharing. 👍 Take care Mark
I love your videos and your little adventures I find them very heartwarming.
Thank you Steve :)
You are one brave lady, !!!! Well done.
👍👍👍👍👍
I just can't stop watching your video adventures ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊 thank you so much from a Kiwi down under
Another excellent video! Thank you, Claire! I'm so glad you made it back, safe. The last photos taken by your camera left me envisioning its travel up to Heaven. Rest In Peace, little camera! Stay safe out there, Claire! :)
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray..... awesome views.
Awesome filming, drone shots are amazing.
Loved the stars pics, every time I camp I’m clagged in. I’ve been dying for a clear night With stars.
Loved this vid. You nailed it well done for tackling all sorts of conditions. The stars at night that you caught were awesome ,
That picture of the sky you took was f**king AWESOME! Brilliant. Love doing the mountains when the weather is like that. Makes it more of a challenge. Makes you feel alive!
Thank you, it was so beautiful, I was so glad to get a few photos of it before the weather came in and my camera died. Yess it certainly does doesn't it :D feels like quite an achievement when you finally make a summit in that haha. Thanks for watching :) Claire
Been following you for a while now and I gotta say that was brave ,one of the most daring assents and descents I've seen, your a daredevil woman, 👏
