My First Ever Multi-Night Adventure • 3 Nights Alone in the Wild • DAY 3 in the Rhinogs, Eryri
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2024
- On the last day of my trip, I visit a gorgeous rock pool then descend from the slopes of Rhinog Fawr down to Llyn Cwm Bychan. Here I had some time to relax, have a go at stone balancing, watch the sun set and reflect on my journey before heading home the next morning.
This trip has been one of the best things I have ever done; it has also increased my confidence, knowing that not only can I survive by myself in the middle of nowhere for days at a time, I can also thrive. As my first backpacking trip, the memories of this will always be special to me. Having said that, I can't wait for the next one! :D

#WildCamping #Backpacking #Snowdonia #RhinogMountains #Hiking
I've been saving my comment until I had seen all three of episodes of your Rhinog trip. Very well done young lady, from an old man who has been wandering, climbing, cycling, bivvying and camping for almost 60 years. The Rhinogs are a pretty wild and remote area, not for the faint hearted! Sensible change of plan decisions, even though you had exceptionally good weather. Your enthusiasm for the outdoors is infectious and inspiring making watching your films an absolute delight. Thank you for taking the trouble to film, edit and post your adventures.
Aw hi John, thank you so much for your lovely comment :) yeh I had originally planned to summit those 2 mountains, but it wasn't going to happen this time around and it was perfect just the same. I'm really glad that I got to do the circular route that I'd planned out and it's the advice of walkers that I met along the way that I have to thank for that, I would have turned back if I wasn't sure if I could safely pass by Gloyw Lyn. So glad you liked them :D I had the best time and it's so nice that others get to enjoy it too. I'm certain that the weather will get me next time, I had blissful weather my previous trip to Snowdonia too, overdue some weather challenges for sure 😄 Thanks for coming along on my little journey and have a lovely weekend :D Claire
You seem such a beautiful lady. Thank you for allowing us on your journeys!
Hello Wild Ones! Thank you so much for following my first little backpacking adventure :D I'm off to do the school run then celebrating a family birthday, I'll be back over the weekend. Have a good one guys! Claire 🌿🐻
Remote as Cwm Bychan is, in 1983 the BBC filmed scenes for Doctor Who along the road side of the lake. Here's one scene, the place hasn't really changed since: th-cam.com/video/6fDh_RgZr4Y/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Claire for bringing us with you on your amazing adventure
Thank you so much for doing these videos.
I didn't say, but I've traveled every step with you and it's been... what ? Cathartic? Certainly moving. I've shown this place to a few people over the years, having first gone there aged about 14, and I'm now 58, with grown up kids of my own.
My dad was a South African bushwhacker (literally), who had climbed Mts Kenya and Kilimanjaro,as well as several other big African peaks, Scottish Munros etc, and this was almost exactly the route he took me on as my first wilderness experience. He died just before the pandemic. Your videos have brought a little piece of him back to me, so really, sincerely, thank you.
In return, my gift to you... I've traveled the World. The single most beautiful place I have ever been is a place you might never want to leave if and when you ever go. Go to the Isle of Skye. See both Cuillin ranges, and walk the Quiraing on the Trotternish Peninsula. You'll remember it for the rest of your life. And the locals are just lovely.
Neil.
@@Ignorance_was_Strength oh wow! is that the little road on the way in along Lyn Cwm Bychan? :D How cool :D
@@kentsundell3751 Thank you for coming along with me :D
Remember, it’s not that life is too short, it’s just that you’re dead for so long. Live life like it’s a blessing and you can’t go wrong. Loved these 3 videos. Congratulations.
3 videos of a tough young lady thoroughly enjoying the best bits of what the world has to offer ..
3 videos of complete enjoyment for an old fella loving the fact there are still people like this in this world !
Thank you and please never stop enjoying and filming 💖
At the end, standing viewing the lake with your rock towers behind you. Majestic. Thank you
This is what life is about. I am fortunate to have yet another check up with good results today after battling acute leukemia. I cant tell you all enough to take care of your life. Go out , inhale and appreciate everything that nature have to offer. Thank you for bringing us along. That area is absolutly amazing and your videos have been breathtaking beautiful.
Top advice. Glad to hear about the good results. Hope you are able to get out and about. All the best.
Heyy Warrior, I am SO happy for you, congratulations 💜 I hope you never have to do this fight again. Amazing advice, thank you so much for coming along with me on this :) I hope your future is full of good and beautiful things
oh Claire,what a beautiful trip, i love your videos and only found you a few days ago (02,01,22) ,and i am loving this channel, i watch a few bush crafters and have for a few years now,my favourite being mathew posa, until now, now you and mathew are my joint favourites, and what made that decision for me was not just your content, your soft ,kind,gentle,demeanor and voice, heartfelt attitude for the nature around you, then when i saw your eyes fill up explaining what you will remember, you just broke me, i cried with you, yes you made a 49 year old man dry, please try and make the videos longer, would love to watch a good hour video, keep up the fantastic work and look forward to seeing loads more this year..you are awesome...
'You can always be happy where you are going if you are happy with where you have been...' - Take it from someone fast approaching old age, it is really satisfying to look back at life's adventures. It makes you very comfortable and happy in old age to remember back on your achievements. It's inspiring to everyone if you have stories to share, and you certainly will have stories to share. Congratulations
This is one of the best outdoor videos I’ve ever seen. The film work was stunning but it’s your resolve, humor and vulnerability that makes it. I’ll admit someone was cutting onions at the end there. Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I dont know what life has dealt you in the past but what you have achieved and become you should be so proud of yourself. You have showed alot of people what can be achieved in life including myself that your ideas can become a reality. You have been blessed with remarkable skills, the way you do things and put it all together truly remarkable. You are a truly remarkable, and a very special mom to your son and family. I will continue to watch your adventures and gods willing plan some of my own one day. Thanks Steve.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Standing ovation. Just wanted to give you a big fatherly hug at the end. 😢😢😢. Being in the wild like that is the best. Your filming is soo good really shoul have your own TV show
Not seeing another person for 24 hours is my type of heaven.
I know right! Amazing :D I've been spoilt now I think haha
Mine also, but still not long enough!
What a wonderful journey you have been on, and thank you for taking me with you. You are a very brave and appreciative person. I very much hope to adventure like you someday. You just about had me in tears at the end of the video. I have followed your channel for a while now and have watched all three parts of this adventure; I am convinced that you are a gift to the wild camping community. My daughter also watches your channel and loves it! Thank you. We are happy to be a wild one's.
Be so very proud of yourself young lady. Takes guts, resolve and bloody determination to achieve what you have just done. One very proud subscriber.
You are so inspirational in your own humble way. No fancy this. No fancy that. Totally organic!!!!......Keep it going Kid!!!... I'm loving all of your adventures.
Aw thank you Graham, glad you enjoy them :)
Claire, you are as lovely as the places you go. I was really touched by the last moments in this video in which you talk about how you've worked up your courage and resolve over your few years of backpacking. Bravery comes when resolve punches through fear and the concerns and tethers that we and others create for us. Be brave, wear your resolve like a badge and keep going!
Somebody please tell Julia Bradbury she's sacked, we've found a new Britains best walks presenter!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed all 3 videos, well done WildBeare, thanks for sharing. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You should get an award of some kind from TH-cam for this!!
Aw wow, haha thanks Leroy, so glad you enjoyed them ❤ thank you for watching! :)
@@WildBeare What Leroy said for sure!!
I don't think so
Julia who ? - We also get to see the scenery! I’m with you on this ! Good video
Its great to see young people enjoying the hills and nature. Was impressed when you put the stones back. Leave no trace is so important. You will be an inspiration to your generation - keep up the good work and thanks for filming the trip.
Actually got a bit teary at the end when you were trying not to cry. What an adventure! Can't wait to see what's next for you...and to get back out there myself! xx
Aw I still get a bit emosh thinking about it 😄 not so long ago I never would have thought I could do this kinda thing, it was an amazing experience in so many different ways. Thanks so much for coming along with me and may your future be full of adventure and beautiful things 🥰
Just discovered your channel about a month ago and have been checking out some of your videos. I enjoy the wild camping & bushcrafting very much, but this particular adventure appealed to me the most because it was multi-day in the wilderness. To top it off, your cinematography is fantastic. Beautiful perspective, great storytelling! Your storytelling is a gift. Just do what makes you happy, share it, and you will make the world smile. Thank you so much for sharing!
You're amazing girl. It's OK to cry when you are surrounded by such beauty. God, I'm a 64 year old guy, been there, seen it, done it as they say, but this country always comes up with more surprises and I have Benn so overcome with the moment, the place, I will unashamedly cry buckets.😀 Keep doing what you do kid, and may it always move you 😘
What a beautiful miniseries, truly wonderful in every aspect. To end with the quote, “Goodbye beautiful place” spoke volumes.
Thank you Claire for taking me with you these last 3 days!! You have great courage and determination, you also have a beautiful spirit, long may you reign! Dr Paul UK.
Aw, thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed my lil trip :) have a lovely week! 🌿 Claire
You are such a perfect guide for these adventures. Thank you for taking us along with you.
Your last words also brought tears to my eyes. If I ever make it to England again, I would like to go hiking there too. The landscape is incredibly beautiful. Thank you for these beautiful impressions.
Greetings from Montana USA.
Well done Claire! 👍👍 What a remote rugged, beautiful landscape for your first multi day backpacking trip!!
I'm 73 and been around the block a few times. I can assure you that you'll never forget your first backpack adventure.✌✌✌
The boost in your self confidence will huge. You'll see👍😎😉😉
Great production. You're an interesting personality Claire. I love your vlog "style". Go gettem girl!!
Your cinematography and music have come on in leaps and bounds. I love the Drone footage and love the adventure. Memories are precious. Great video.
3 dislikes? Who are these muppets?
Awesome adventure. Get yourself out to wherever calls.
Give us all a good view.
Love to watch you having a great time.
Break some barriers and have a blast.
Big love.💚
Thank you soo much for showing me people have not given up on nature. Your comment about social media, and remembering that moment as an old lady are perfect.
Brilliant part 3! You had me in tears at the end you bugger! I SO understand where you're coming from when you talk about what you will remember when you're older. I AM older (76) and can remember every one of my many mountain adventures and wild-camps. Thanks for sharing, and just LOVE your choice of music. I look forward to the next one. Excellent
Hi Claire,
Nearly four years in the planning,the rewards will stay with you for the rest of your life.
I've enjoyed the trilogy immensely. Wales is a truly magnificent country.
Well done and thankyou.
Mick.😘
I'm impressed that your commitment to leave no trace included knocking your rock cairns down.
That was so superb to watch. Everything: Camera, Music, Landscape, Narrative were all incredible. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Claire, Wow!! With each installment these get better and better! You are a total natural in front of the camera! You do such a great job of describing what you're seeing, how it feels to you and how you're feeling. It feels like I'm actually there! I've only been to England once, but your videos make me want to explore these amazing places! You should join forces with the local tourism industry! The people that would explore the places you share, I believe would respect them the way you do. So cool! Thank you for sharing! Please stay safe and keep them coming!
These 3 videos are amazing Claire, the editing is a different class. Thank you for taking us all on such a delightful adventure.
Благодарю Клэр ваши видео дают возможность увидеть то что я не увидел бы никогда спасибо вам за это! У нас есть такая хорошая пословица ,, Лучше один раз увидеть чем сто раз услышать" Очень красиво 😁👍👍💚🌟
Hi Claire , really loved your first real adventure into the beauty of mother nature but this is only the beginning and I have not doubt that you will share many more of these adventures with us as long as you have your channel and many more after that as the years pass by for as it is with me as well , the love of mother nature is in our hearts and souls and without her , our lives mean nothing and we would be nothing but empty vessels drifting threw life so thankyou once again for sharing your happy adventure with us and really look forward to every future adventure to come , Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺👍🙂
What an exceptional end to this trip. I loved the zen stones, and then toppling them before you leave :) made me smile, leaving no trace, even art. Inspiring videography again too!!
Thank you for these vids. I found you a few months ago and I’m slowly going through all your content. I’m 60 this year and just starting to use a wheelchair now so trip like these are long gone for me, but what you said at the end about remembering the adventures in later life and not the other stuff like social media and house work or work is so so true. Long may you continue to have these adventures making lovely memories. Enjoy life stay safe and thank you again for taking me down memory lane and putting a smile on my face.
Each minute in the wild appears to cancel a whole week kept away from it. I don't know how we ever got used to captivity being normal. Beautifully captured by you. Thankyou.
Wow, the series of videos from the Rhinog mountains were truly amazing, the music and the videography were first class.
Hardcore Wildbeare.....well done you and thank you👏
Based on the landscape, it seems you should have run into some dwarves and orcs on your journey.
😄 there was a dragon, but typically it had gone by the time I got my camera out 🙄
Dang you made me cry 😢 your such a beautiful soul! I know these are a year old but I'm just seeing , and so inspired and your giving me such great content to watch while I'm stuck inside recovering from neck surgery your saving me . I literally can't do a think ,I have ridged neck brace on for 9 weeks and 4 day, I'm a little more than half way there 22 more days and this has brought me such joy 😊 I,m smitten
Thank you so so much for the inspiration 🙏🏼❤️ I love your statement about not being able to remember scrolling through social media but these adventures will always stand out in your mind
You have to be beyond a shadow of a doubt the most genuine person I have seen on TH-cam.
How many of us out there were welling up too? Bless you lass and bless you for what you do. Keep exploring and stay safe.
These vids are beautiful . Ive done a lot of backpacking but now 68 years and this has brought back all the memories of those great days . Hope you can now venture to a Scottish winter soon!. Now that’s a different adventure and require some serious homework . x
Just beautiful. Spent many years wild camping in this area with my partner & young family. Thankyou for creating such stunning aerial photography of your time there. We loved it and will watch it again & again. x
Aww, the ending. The mountains will do that to you, well anywhere in nature will hit you right in the feels.
Well done, the Rhinogs are pretty wild sometimes, that heather/marsh can catch you out. Loving the videos.
Thank you for taking us on that beautiful adventure. Truly enjoyable. I don't have that kind of terrain, but enjoy what I have. There are not just one color in a rainbow so there are many forms of beauty in God's creations.
Good final words. You inspire others with your bravery Miss W. Beare. Nature loves you whether you like it or not.
Your emotions said it all, Snowdonia is not a wilderness, it is a stunning place that needs a little more effort to enjoy, as such the idiots stay away, which makes it even more special, when you consider the tiny island that we are, we have so many areas of extreme beauty and diversity,
Thankyou for bringing them to your audience, ❤.
And I'm not going to mention your lighter issue, lesson learned, we've all been there 😉, but I bet it won't happen again, it takes a few fails to hone skills as you have shown in some of your vids, you're not afraid to say when it goes wrong, this is something to be admired, many would cut it out.
Take care Claire ❤
. Nige 👍👍☕☕
A lovely series of videos. Remember, life's not about how many breaths you take. It's about how many moments take your breath away. And that's something you'll always have.
Wow you are super inspirational let me tell you firstly!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Secondly I’ve just watched all 3 of these films and what a great watch it was. Such great film making and details of routes etc so good. I’m into wild camping 🏕 and the outdoors too. Thanks for sharing such amazing adventures please keep it up. 👌👏👍
Thank you, for who you are, and what you do.
Cool..
Thank you for taking me along. Peace. Thank you!
Brilliant video! The quality of filming & overall production is superb. That bit at the end was so true in what you said; brought a little tear to my eye as well.
Yes when I am old I want to remember the trips I made in 1972 and the time I left work to undertake a 6 month European Tour way back in 1975. No what I am older I have to carry on campervanning and wild camping in the hills which is where I am off to now at this moment, going to park up for the night and go for a wander first light. Happy camping Nessmuk.
“Getting filled back up again” is the perfect way of expressing that elevation of spirit that nature provides -that restoration “Of aspect more sublime,” as Wordsworth put it.
Very well done, a joy to watch. The work that you put in to making these inspiring videos is very impressive. I have done many adventurous trips through out my life, crossing the Sahara being the pinnacle for me. I can honestly tell you that your journey from novice to seasoned back country hiker is truly impressive to watch. The bravery you muster to do this all on your own is fantastic. The scenery you have captured very beautiful and the honesty you convey about your experience is touching. The call of the wild has truly bitten you and you have a very bright future for your self in this field if you continue to convey the passion you obviously have for it all. The world is your oyster and full of wild places so there is no reason why you can't do this and make a success of it for the rest of your life. You are a natural at it all, gifted at presentation, editing and beautiful choice of music, it must take you hours to put this all together. Congratulations once again and I look forward to watching your next adventure. Go Wild Bear.
Hiking is not escapism; it's realism. . .
people who choose to spend time outdoors are not running away from anything; we are returning to where we belong.

Your words at the end reminded me of this quote
Outstanding Claire, you're videos just get better and better
Aw thank you Wayne :) have a great weekend :D
@@WildBeare And you too.
I’ve got MS so can’t get out anymore but before I used to me an avid mountain Walker, Snowdonia is one of my favourite places on earth and seeing you videos takes me back there thank you very much 💕
What an epic, moving, journey you took us on. Thank you so much! :)
You're a star, Claire...good on ya for finding your passion...takes a leap of faith to head out on your own like that and you've done it in style!
A wonderful series of videos. I only got into wild camping in late 2019 and then Covid hit so have the gear but haven’t been back out yet. This has inspired me to get out again. I must also say, your grand cinematic shots, music score choices and video editing is excellent. You’ve turned a simple vlog into something of tv show quality. It was emotional and beautifully captured (even if the boggy shots didn’t do it justice, we believe you!!)
Those three vlogs were great. That is proper hard rubbly terrain you got through there and you kept on going. Really good route planning and navving right though with changes of plan to fit the conditions. And aside from actually doing it, it was beautifully documented as well. You came through it brilliantly, one of the best UK walking/wildcamping vids Ive seen for ages. Well done.
Watched now several videos and can't get over the astounding professional entertaining composition video editing and how just as pretty as you are, the next day in the field.
Some seriously talented filmmaking here. Really emotional following this 3 part series. It won you a subscriber. Nothing but respect for you.
This is so amazing. The music; the photography and map reading. Wow! So I am inspired. I bought a tent from Target and I’m going to take my Son to the camp ground and try our first night outdoors. In a camp ground of course. One day we will venture out into the real wilderness. Thanks for these wonderful videos.
Your videos of this area are superb. It really is a fantastic area of mountains and you can get properly away from people. I spent a 4 night expedition here (many years ago) when I was in the Army and undertook Mountain Leader Assessment; our assessor told us if we could navigate our way around here then we could go anywhere! It certainly was a navigational challenge as the first 2 days were very low visibility and we were counting paces, walking on bearings and practising going from point to point. I saw loads of Red Kites overhead and remember it fondly.
Good for you walking this area and wild camping it!
That was simply one of thee most beautifully shot, inspirational and emotional TH-cam's I've ever seen.
I only discovered your channel a few days ago and I've watched every one of your vlogs.
It's so lovely to see how one with nature you are.
It's truly Beautiful.
I’m bewildered by your natural spirit beauty 😍 I’ve been lucky enough to grow up around these very mountains and have enjoyed many memorable adventures here. I revisited Rhinog fach at the beginning of the year after many a year and found a tear rolling down my cheek at it’s outstanding beauty and it’s deep roots within me. Knowing these mountains first hand, the terrain is very tough and quite dangerous to the unwary traveller with pot holes, hidden rocks and heather that eats away at the hardiest of stamina & spirits!
You are absolutely capable 💪 and clearly enjoying your adventures with an infectious spirit for the self supported solo journeys, nourishing both body & mind.
Go now Wild One, be at one with nature & nature will always be within you. ⛰ 🗺 🧭 🥾 🎒 🏕
Absolutely awesome adventure you had, well done you have achieved something very special and taken us along for the journey. Thank you for sharing such an epic journey, the video work is brilliant and the scenery breathtaking, stay safe and can't wait to see what your next adventure brings.
Cheers from Australia
I love the Rhinogs, one of the wildest and quietest places in Wales, I got lost up there several times, always fun to come out alive! thanks for the videos
Well done Claire. Watched all three vids in succession. That was an epic adventure. Glad you found a kindly lady with some matches !!
The Rhinogs, my favorite part of Wales, one rarely meets anybody.so peaceful.
That's a wonderful adventure you had! Amazing that you found the courage you wanted to have to go through with it, you'll remember it forever!
Thanks for taking me along for the journey, allowing me to vicariously see things through your eyes! Which once again shows your love of the natural world!
These three videos of your adventure I found really enjoyable so well presented and edited. The landscape was just breath taking and the final camp was such a beautiful location I wouldn't want to leave. I'm looking forward to watching more of your adventures in the future and like you said that's what life's about making memories.Stay safe
I hope you never stop your adventures, but if like me you do, you will be old with wonderful memories. There will be others, as you are now, filming their own adventures and deep inside you will feel a need to get back out.
I know, because that how I feel. Many years ago, I wandered about all over the place, dragging along a tent, tarp or just an old army poncho, I still have great memories of those times.
But alas circumstances changed and the adventures slowed to a stop, my last mountain in 2005, was Radhost, in the Czech Rep. Unfortunately in 2006, I had a car accident and smashed my legs, after which I gave up the gallavanting.
But thanks to you and many other younger adventurers, I find something stirring from deep within, a need to get back out there. Yes, I am much older and the legs have complications, nevertheless I have set my sights on Helvellyn in 2024 and with determination, I will gaze down on red tarn once again 😁
I've just found your TH-cam and i love the content, the filming is great, it's whimsical, funny, well shot, and humorous. Your passion is infectious, to the point I've just packed the rucksack for the first time in 3 years and I'm heading back into Brecon for an over nighter with the new pup. Thank you.
I enjoyed this 3-parter. You're very brave, inspirational!
Such a beautiful soul. If we could all be a little more like you the world would be a beautiful place 🙏
Hi, just finished your three day adventure. Truly awesome, well done for challenging yourself and following your dreams. True life long memories. Your channel is honest, inspirational and the production is professional on a level that makes you feel that one is there, and this the best yet.
I have not done anything like this, I’ve not even been camping, save for being a helping dad at cub camp. Loved it btw.
I must follow your lead and get out there,before it becomes one of those “ I wished I had done” moments. Thank you for channel, please keep them coming. Best wishes Steve
You’ve given us a little bit of your memories... good memories! Thanks.
These were lovely. Thank you very much! You are quite right. Seize the day and lay down the good memories for later. All the Best Bonnie Lass!
I love your videos and how your taking the audience through the map!👏🎬
Truly incredible. Brilliant adventure and final sentiment. Superb production values, a pleasure to watch. From the bottom of my heart thank you for sharing
Absolutely awesome! Thanks again for having me along!
Thanks for taking us on a fantastic adventure! Your sentiment about looking back on your life and remembering the adventures, the challenges and the wonderful experiences in life is such a great attitude to have towards life. Put down the Instagram, and Twitter and go experience everything life has to offer!
You’re an absolute gem Claire! You have a pure passion about you and a wicked way to bring a story to life. Thank you for taking me away from reality for awhile and into yours, it was beautiful!

Fantastic adventure, thank you for bringing us along.. you really did an amazing job all alone. Strong, brave and beautiful. Looking forward to more of this in the future.
Nawwww that was super touching at the end.
You are 100 percent right... Make memories why we can.. And we can look back with smiles instead of regret...an this is why we do what we do :)
I'm a 49 year old man and I was brought to tears lol x
Just binge-watched all three episodes. All I can say is epic! Very inspiring and beautifully filmed, too.
A woman after my own heart 💓 What an amazing adventure! I can't wait to get out to have some of my own. Thanks for sharing!
The memories of our adventures into the wild is all we really own.
Hi Claire, thank you so much for the beautiful adventure, much appreciated, stay safe stay well my friend 👍✌️
Admirable and inspirational in every respect. I'm half way through binge watching all these amazing videos. Wildbeare has rocketed right up to the top of my favourite TH-cam channels. It's already got me motivated to get back out and do some walking, if not quite at Claire's level. I did a fair bit during lock down, but had lost the momentum as life kicked back in, but I feel more invigorated watching Claire tackling these brilliant expeditions. There is also something very honest about every video I have watched. Mistakes are recognised, plans changed and fears faced when needs be. That is why I think they are inspirational, because it is a demonstration of how anyone can overcome obstacles in their way just by thinking and pushing through.
