      Am i the only 1 commenting that she may be a bit reckless!...she is a very attractive woman, by herself, in the middle of nowhere!...i hope she has some kind of protection/defense item's, in case people haven't noticed lately, the nutjob's and psycho's are prowling everywhere these day's, a beautiful young woman, by herself especially in secluded area's is a prime target!....i think she may be a bit careless doing this stuff!🤔

      @@freddiehill28Thats and incredibly arrogant and naïve thing to say. The UK has more than it's fair share of serial killers, many of which have used this type of terrain to hide their victims. Don't get me wrong, i think it's great that she is taking charge of her life and living how she wants to live, but you don't need to trash another country to make yourself feel better about your own. That's just pathetic.

    I love all your uploads Claire. You’re not the usual female who relies upon their looks to attract attention and concentrates upon what matters most when out in the countryside.
    I grew up on a dairy farm and there’s no need to fear cows, they’re naturally inquisitive and will come up to in a herd. Just stand your ground and don’t be afraid. Bullocks and heifers are the most inquisitive and only cows with calves can be a bit pushy at times. Don’t forget they were put in the field they’re in by humans. If they get too close for comfort wave your arms and shout at them, they’ll jump and move. Remember they’re herbivores not carnivores and their natural instinct is to flight not fight.

Now a life of pain, physically and mentally, I still have my dog and we go on shorter hikes, it helps me feel more relaxed. Watching you taking me to these places is wonderful, so keep it going.

    I did a walk about in 2006 when I was 46. I spent 122 days walking into the remote wilderness and according to my GPS my line of sight travel was 98 miles at the deepest part of my trek from my pick up. I thought to myself… “I bet few people have been this far in”. About 4 steps later I found a rusty Log Cabin syrup container beside a rock by the lake I camped by with an aspen tree someone inscribed “Sergio 34” which I assumed was 1934… sheep herders in Wyoming would put there sheep way up in the wilderness. I was at 10,480’ elevation at that camp. Many of us long to be isolated on a trek… but we are traveling trails that were made long before us. Another fantastic video young lady. Good journeys and be safe.

    Thank you, Claire, thank you for your wonderful videoes and sharing your passion with us, your infectious enthusiasm and the joy you carry with you, even when the going gets tough, you truly are an inspiration. Time after time you remind me of that feeling I loved and have missed so much. After a fairly horrendous few years I've finally been able to get out again over the last few weeks and do some walking, only a few miles here and there but it's been enough and, God, I've missed it, that peace, the calm of it, just me and the world. I owe a lot of that to you, for sharing what you love, reminding me how much I love it, what a difference it makes and I just needed to make the time, get my boots on and get back out there to feel that joy again. One step at a time is good enough, so just keep going, never give in and above all else, stay floofy! Thank you!!

    • @jonprince3237

      And it got me thinking, it's made me realise I've become a house cat over the last few years, watching the world through the window, comfortable but indifferent and detached. I've realised how these artificial things around me every day isolate my senses from the wider world outside, and it became normal to me. But out there all our senses are engaged again, eyes can focus on distant things, which I've read is very good for our vision, there's scent always in the air, the damp of grass and ferns. We can feel the warmth of sun on our face, the breeze touching our skin. There's sound, even if it's just the rush and rustle of wind through the trees or a river running. Nature's rarely silent, it usually means danger when it goes quiet, but in our civilised society silence has become something people long for, but it's deeply in us as unnatural. Just the ache of shoulders or sore feet as we move through that world, all these things, a million little reminders per minute that we're alive, because we can feel it. I know it's not always easy, nature doesn't particularly care if we're having a good day or not, but you said there was a point that you asked yourself if it's somewhere you belong. It is, because it's somewhere you can feel alive, and that's a good enough reason to be there.

    I found this channel only 2 days ago, but in that time you have introduced me to more beauty (and the pain that comes with persevering to find it) as I'd not thought possible before. These are places where it is not difficult to see the magic in nature, the magic that lies in humanity if we'd just embrace it rather than spending so much time on hate and fear. Stay safe out there, Wildness, and keep on bringing joy to us all.

    I didn't realise Claire was hypermobile until she mentioned it here in this video. That makes her journeys even harder then they look. Much respect.
    EDIT: I used to be a farmer and I know cows/bullocks can be frightening but as long as you don't have a dog and they don't have calves with them they are fine. They will come and look at you and crowd around which can be frightening but they won't hurt you. If you stand still they will come right up to you and lick/sniff you. Shoo them away and walk steadily. Don't run though, you will hurt yourself and they will follow you anyway.

    As a resident of Hawaii, I feel compelled to say that the adventure you took in this video demonstrated that the UK has enormous areas that are every bit as beautiful (and arguably moreso) than anything aa place like Hawaii has to offer. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm envious of the opportunity you have, impressed by your perseverance , and baffled by the pronunciation of most of the places you visited as I followed your trek on Google Earth. Thanks for this.

      Some of these spots remind me of Ka’au Crater, or a few of the ridge hikes west side, but you’re right, they rival and surpass just about all of the treks I’ve done on Oahu. Incredibly envious.

    Good on you for keep going.
    After too many years wandering round bush in NZ forgot how many times route planning on trip or terrain was much tougher and things went awry and got angry, scared but took moments to slow down think, calm down and you solve the issue, then keep going. Made the sense achievement after completing the trip 100 times better.
    Hope to see sometime you wander down to land of long white cloud and try the place where the best hiking (we call it tramping) is in the world.

    These vids allways make my day Claire. Cracking adventure with highs and lows. When the going gets tough you get going. Done plenty of long distance treks with my wife and what I would say is try and reduce your pack weight. 17kg is hell on your back and your knees will thank you in later years. I only carried 13kg the length of the West Highland Way. Invest in a bit of lighter gear and ask yourself what you really need and what you can do without. Either you nailed it again, fantastic cinematography, narration and editing of a truly epic trip. 😊

But in hindsight you'll be a little more prepared for your next amazing adventure into Britain's unforgiving wilderness. Certainly keeps one feeling alive doesn't it?

    I am shocked out quickly this is turning into my favorite youtube channel. I just found it Saturday. This weekend, i walked into a sporting goods store and asked if they had any rucksacks (is this an English term, cause the lady had no idea what I was asking for)😂 well, I hopped on Amazon, and it knew what i meant. So I bought one 60L? said it was good for a 4 or 5 day hike, does that sound right? I live in Utah, I am sure there is wilderness to explore out this way. This tiny little thing Claire is so fun to watch and makes adventuring so compelling. She is like a little Bilbo Baggins 😂
