Heaven & Hell in the Peak District • A Wild Camping Adventure with a Difficult Pitch
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2022
- My first ever visit to the Peak District! After a beautiful start hiking up to Middle Black Clough Waterfall, the weather took an unexpected turn for the worse up on the moors - resulting in my toughest pitch yet. It took me 40 minutes to get my tent up in the maddening winds, as the light faded and it started to rain, and I was thinking that I might end up having to emergency bivi under a rock for cover. But back in the valley, all is forgiven with a lovely refreshing morning swim in the peat-stained waters of the river :D
Apologies for the wind noise, up on the moor it was relentless and difficult to film in, despite wind muffs on everything 😬

I have to confess i watch Claire’s videos in bed with my morning tea and my electric blanket on! But then I’m 73. Her adventures wild camping are inspirational.
I do think Claire has a lovely face and voice. Very positive personality. I love the way she loves all weather turns anything into a learning experience ❤
Well done taming that tent! I love watching these videos. There's a joy in aloneness, even when the going gets tough and we feel as miserable as hell. Nature is such a good metaphor for life, sometimes stormy, sometimes joyous and always unpredictable.
What a great video. And a good metaphor for life in general.
Thank you Bjorn 🤗 Hope you're having a nice week :)
"....it mellows rapidly into a fond memory." This is the gift of challenging yourself.
A friend referred to this as type 2 fun. Type 1 fun is the obvious fun stuff. Type 2 is when things go wrong, and you get through it. Then looking back, it is always the stronger of the two experiences.
I can deffo see that! 🙂 Funny you should mention, I was flicking through the Alpkit catalogue thing that I got in the post today, and it said in there about type 1 fun, type 2, type 3. And I thought ahh yes, this was type 2 haha - and deffo the stronger
Thanks for watching my lil viddy, hope you're having a lovely week :) 🌿🐻
Here is a quote from Aussie bushwalking legend, Paddy Pallin
"When we face danger and difficulty something deep inside us responds to the challenge with a fierce joy; and when the trip is over there is a profound satisfaction"
@@sikkpuppy1968 love that :D
Type 3? Never gonna go back there again!
definately, superficial "fun" often comes at little or no cost, it isn't earned, most of my fondest and strongest memories are of things which often sucked at the time, but i can now look back on with a smile and perhaps a little pride.
Hi Claire, I discovered your Channel a few months ago & I've been catching up on your videos ever since.
Wow, you are SO Inspirational, the love you have for life shines out of you & the joy you show for the beautiful world around you is infectious.
I would love to get out into the world, do some trekking, camping & Wild Swimming but until now a back & leg injury have held me back. I'm so hoping I'm now on the mend & your videos are keeping me inspired & motivated to keep working towards my goal of doing a little of what you do.
Thank you so so much for keeping me inspired & motivated, your videos have & are helping me so much. You are such a lovely person too, so gentle & authentic & real. Stay safe, lots of love Rachel.
Claire, a word about strong wind:
Places that look sheltered can be deceptive. The higher you go, the stronger the wind is likely to be. Also, any solid structure that reaches high above ground will disrupt the higher-speed airflow up there, pulling it down to the ground, and then sideways. This is where those sudden, random gusts come from. You can demonstrate this on a windy day by walking in an urban area among high-rise buildings. At some point, close to a tall building, you are likely to get near blown off your feet. Yet on the same day, out in the open, whilst the wind might be strong, it won't be so overpowering, more likely steady, and from a stable direction.
On this trip you made a special effort to reach those rocks up on high, in order to reach shelter. Drawn like a magnet, this might have been the worst place to pitch! Compounding matters, those rocks had gaps between them, and you pitched in line with a gap funnelling the wind right at you.
It seems something similar happened at Cnicht. You chose a place high up, next to a vertical rock outcrop for shelter. While pitching, a huge blast took your hat for walkies. Next shot, another blast hit you from the opposite direction. This was a sign of downdraughts and turbulence, whether from the rock wall, or the mountain.
In both cases, it might have been better camping at lower level, away from rocks or structures that could play tricks with the wind.
Trees and bushes filter the wind rather than blocking it completely, so just tend to reduce its intensity, but come with their own problems.
Hope that helps.
She would be better served by enrolling in a course that teaches her these things. I know she's doing it for the scenic views, with her drone and selfie stick, but one day it could lead to dangerous situation.
The Peak District is my back garden, as I live relatively close, it’s tougher than people think, large open moorland, plateaus, peat bogs, waterfalls and wind, did you notice the wind 🤭 is arrives without notice and can stay all day, bloody well done you, I know exactly where you were and you picked the best place to camp for a modicum of shelter, there is nowhere else up there in the wind and not camping in the dips and gullies was a smart move, they can get pretty soggy pretty quick, we’ll done you 👍
Thanks Steve! It is tougher than I expected it to be for sure 😄 deceiving how high you are too.. I'm so used to Wales where its very obvious that you're up high, this was such a gradual slope you can easily not realise you're high up. Thanks for sharing this lil trip with me, have a great day :D Claire 🌿🐻

Read this.... after watching the video.
Definitely going to be visiting the peak district... feel silly having never been there.
I fell into a peat hole in that area and smashed my camera a few years ago. It’s easy to lose the path and get lost on those peat bogs.
I absolutely love your debriefs! So much learned in one short video! The outright honesty of your channel is refreshing, I’m finding watching blokes they are just a lot less happy to reveal what they struggled with and probably would have never admitted to spending so long setting up a tent or having to need a plan B. Slowly working my way through your videos and so far I’ve loved them all x
I love that you’re always so positive and upbeat and don’t catastrophize. This is supposed to be fun, but there will be challenges and you keep finding these stunning places. Living your best life. Your videos are so refreshing and interesting and just lovely.
I agree with Jacqueline.
Well said.
Right you!
For the past 3 weeks TH-cam has been hell bent on getting me to watch all of your content from start to finish.
Finally at 2am today I'm caving to the peer pressure, I've watched the lot so now you can have a new sub
😋👍🏻
That waterfall is so mystically beautiful. You are such a natural beauty you belong there.
Life's toughest challenges make the greatest stories. I never doubted you would do it. Proud of you Claire. Keep exploring and never give up. Your the best. Eric
Aw thank you so much Eric 🤗 Hope you're having a great week :) 🌿🐻
WOW. Your determination is amazing and very impressive. Watching that I was so stressed not being able to help you. You definitely learned from the experience and it will only make you stronger. Listening to your thoughts at the end was very inspirational. Best wishes from OZ.
Your determination is amazing.
Love it. Your so cute how you just roll with it with a laugh and a smile. That's the best part that smile of yours. Great scenery and great video.
I can’t imagine your frustration with the wind and the tent especially after a not so easy hike. You obviously prevailed and had a great event to tell us about 👍🙏🤗🎩
Thanks Jon, ahh man it was so frustrating, I was really thinking I was gonna have to hide under a rock all night instead 😄 Hope you're having a lovely week :) 🌿 Claire 🐻
Sometimes the toughest outings make for the greatest stories after all is said and done. I love that you push yourself, but I’ll bet most of us here were glad you didn’t risk a fall for the sake of the video. What a beautiful place to hike. Such a lovely waterfall. Nothing like that here in Savannah, Georgia. Thanks for taking me away from work for a very pleasant few minutes! ✌🏽
Hi Tom 👋 ahh yes they do, I'm really fond of this one despite some serious frustration at the time 🙃 funny how it goes like that. Yeh I didn't fancy going past that drop and never do anything purely for the sake of a video.. I enjoy life too much to risk it in that way haha. Thank you so much for joining me on this lil trip, hope work goes quick for you :) 🌿 Claire 🐻
Your " will to succeed " kicked in to overdrive on this one Claire. Tenacity usually overcomes adversity and in your treks it works every time. Beautiful district and scenery fabulous waterfall a camp you'll never forget for all the right reasons. Onwards and upwards to the next spectacular adventure girl. Bushyboy Oz.
@@ewengillies9826 thank you so much Ewen :D ahh the next one is such a treat, 3 days of bliss in the mountains 😍 hope you're having a great week! :)
You may not have a waterfall like that near you but watching PCT Class of 2022 I see the beautiful and diverse countryside you have. It's a bit like the AT here all year round. But yes, it is beautiful and thanks to Claire I have started hiking myself. She is a great inspiration.
You have a core of steel. You're smart, resourceful, & persistent. Great video.
Tough one Claire. Well done to you for getting though it... Shows the person you are.. Never giver up a.. 👌😍
Claire! That was an amazing little journey! It went from joyously happy to quite serious in a moment. I know you were exasperated, but you were also tenacious and I admire that in you.
Earlier I had seen your post on insta and I thought, ‘well this will be an interesting vlog’. Looming forward to your next adventure!
Hi Jimmy! Ahh thanks, yeh I was totally exasperated, I was preparing myself for the worst when I was fighting with that tent, thinking it wasn't gonna go up and I'd have to shelter under a rock for the night. Thanks for sharing this lil trip with me, hope you're having a great week :D 🌿 Claire 🐻
I've been wild camping up around there and, yeah, it's really tough going off-piste in those pete bogs with all that heather. What makes it even more tiring is the bleakness of the landscape as you pointed out, AND the fact that you have to constantly be aware a wrong foot somewhere could equal a broken ankle
Confidence of ones skills lies somewhere between inexperience and complacent. Taking action solves the former, and remembering the mistakes made along the way, hopefully saves one from the latter.
Unexpectedly expecting the unexpected, and you persevered through, accepting the situation while being grateful for the outcome! Thanks for bringing us along on another one of your adventures, Claire! 🙏❤️
5:18 Might be a good idea to tie up a guy line to your backpack in heavy wind, until you got it fixed with pegs. Unless you want it to fly away :) Check out Hilleberg’s videos, they do a nice job on explaining how to pitch in windy conditions.
Yep you're right, it's one of those things that I know I should do and often don't, will take a looky, cheers :D
Claire, what more can I say apart from, I’m running out of superlatives to describe your courage, tenacity, positivity and inspiration. Your amazing feats of defiance leave me awestruck, with your ability to turn a negative into a positive. You battled the elements there kid, overcame your fear of heights, and conquered what was an unexpected weather front. Lesser folk would have crumbled.
If I were to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with just the basics, I’d feel a lot safer with you around. You just ooze pure class and take everything in your stride.
Enjoy the rest of your week and your weekend Claire, and thank you for taking us on one of your wonderful adventures again. 🐻
Ahh you are so lovely and too kind! Thank you so much :) I am fond of this one although at the time I was getting quite exasperated with it 😄 Thank you for sharing this lil trip with me and hope you have a lovely weekend too :D 🌿🐻
Many journeys ahead that the spirit. demands. !!!!
Brilliant your a real survivor it gives me confidence about wild camping watching your content thank you
Camerawork and editing are one of the best I've seen so far. Absolutely perfect, great adventure. Tnx! 🤙🏻🔥
Oh really, thanks so much! I had a bit of a mare with the wind noise & some mic interference so I'm glad it wasn't too annoying 🙂 Have a great week! :D Claire 🐻
"Always expect the unexpected". These are the words I shall remember when I do my first wild camp, with my partner (who is a lot more experienced than myself), I've only been on two camping trips so far and I loved it so much. I just can't wait to wild camp and see the sunset and sunrise and those beautiful views!❤️ Your videos are awesome, keep it up!😊❤️❤️
I love the contrast to Snowdonia with the greenery and trees!
There is a song...what doesn't kill you makes you stronger... Great job
It’s always tough pitching a tent in high winds, especially finding’s the right place to pitch it. I always take a few of the screw in pegs that I can use as an extra level of wind protection to make me feel a bit more secure when it’s needed. It’s worth reading the two books of the first unsupported crossing of Antarctica by both Ran Fiennes and Mike Stroud. It makes putting up a tent in winds seem easy compared to the storms they needed to do it
Ooo such a good idea about screw pegs! I might get a few of those thank you :D
I bet anything seems easy after the real deal kinda stuff like that.. love an adventure read
Thanks for watching my lil vid :) have a great weekend 🌿🐻
@@WildBeare Mike Stroud has also written a book called ‘survival of the fittest: understanding health and peak physical performance’. It’s a worthwhile read as he talks about injuries, hypothermia and hyperthermia, dehydration and so on, and how to spot them in yourself and others as well as talking about the adventures he’s done. It’s also quite funny in places
You’re an absolute legend and inspiration my lovely wild friend! I’m so proud of you for getting to your waterfall and that area did look beautiful!
Open moorland walking can feel never ending can’t it?!
I really felt for you with all that wind, it’s the worst element for me, so hard to battle against and just leaves you exhausted!
So glad the Lanshan held its own in those tough conditions, at least it did you proud that night!
Lovely vid as always, and loved the voiceover at the end. Fab 💕💕
Heyy Pink Lady! Ahh thank you so much, you are too kind bless you 🤗
The moor was brutal 😄 just.. no escaping it is there. Wind is the worst for me too, I find it really antagonising! Give me a downpour instead of wind any day
I was quite proud of my lil Lanshan, he did good 😍 once I got him up 😄
Thanks for sharing this lil trip with me, hope all went well this eve :D much love 💚🌿🐻
@@WildBeare 😂 getting him up is always the tricky part 😂🤣😂😘
Never give up! Amazing fight against nature. Congratulations!!
Your bravery and determination give me courage to face difficult challenges and your excellent videos pick me up when I feel down. Please keep the faith and keep up the great work. Hike on!
You have a good heart and a strong spirit, both of which are evident in your videos, especially this one. May you enjoy great adventures for many years to come, thank you for sharing them with us.
Your videos leave me with a smile from ear to ear. 😁
Most important thing about survival keeping focused, well done 👍
Thank you so much. I have been watching your videos these past few days and one thing i have realised is that i have to get out more into nature and enjoys these amazingly beautiful places. I have grown so much respect for u, what u do is risky and has a hint of danger but it doesnt bother u , u carry on and make these amazing vlogs/ videos for us to watch these amazing ways to camp and amazing places to explore. Thank you again 😊😉
A great video. It highlights how quickly the weather can change and also how you need to be prepared for the challenges that the weather can throw at you.
Well done you crazy lady and welcome to the peak district my stopping ground. looking forward to your next video.
Hello Claire: I love that you put yourself in situations that test your will and courage! Nothing teaches perseverance and builds character more effectively than adversity. And that waterfall...oh, my...such serene natural beauty! Thank you, as always for taking us along, and for all the extra work you put in filming under trying conditions. All the best to you, young lady, and please stay safe out there! 👍👍💜💜
Love your videos and the way you film the surroundings... its also so refreshing to see when things don't go to plan as always happens when doing these type of adventures..
Another fantastic video Claire. So sorry to see you had a rough time. I love your perseverance with the tent. Even when things get tough you manage to push through. Such an amazing attitude you have. I love watching your videos. I like to get ideas from you. Keep up with the adventures. Glad you got back safe. ⛺️⛺️
hey wildbeare your content is awesome i love watching and living priceriously through you in these beautiful places you visit, i love to get out myself but i dont go far, its amazing to see you enjoying the storms and showing your skills dealing with the extreme conditions you put yourself in. keep doing what your are doing, much love and respect.
Great video loving the waterfall the Peak District can be a wild place especially in wind and rain but you showed us that it can be done and it's these moments struggling putting the tent up that you will remember in years to come and think I did that. It all adds to the adventure and like you said pushing yourself out of your comfort zone can be a good thing from time to time. Looking forward to the next video.
Wow, tough. But the hard times make the best stories we tell about again and again. Well done keeping your wits and achieving your goal.
The wind howlin, ages to pitch the tent, rain fallin, tired, exasperated but that did not matter! Our Claire Beare persevered and showed us all how it's done. Expect the unexpected in all situations and always have a backup plan. Thank you for yet another amazing video
You are a champion young lady, thank you for sharing. Love your work.
Life experience, that’s what it’s about. Makes you stronger, builds memories. You are due a break. Love it.
Beautiful country! Thanks for sharing Dave
Claire you're nuts and a total legend!!! Well done on getting that tent up in that wind!! Another great video 👍
Girl power Clare. Well done with your persistence and not letting it defeat you. 💖
When the wind really wants to know why she is there...buffet the tent...make me start a worry but not.
Your poetic words paint a vivid picture of a tent being buffeted by the wind, evoking a sense of wonder and a touch of apprehension. It's as if the wind is curious, questioning the presence of the tent in its domain. This kind of natural interaction often leads to a mix of emotions - a little worry stirred by the power of nature, but also a sense of awe at its sheer force and beauty. It's a reminder of how we are a part of nature's grand tapestry, sometimes at its mercy, yet always in the midst of its splendor. Thanks for the camp among the hills and wind...
Well done Claire you did marvellously. I really loved the honesty of the video, showing how stressful it was pitching the tent in those conditions. Thank you for your honesty in words and pictures. Much love from a (aspiring) Wild One, Sean xx
I look forward to your adventures Claire, you never cease to amaze me with your drive and determination. Well done And I look forward to the next installment.
Thank you so much, you are very kind :) have a great week! 🌿🐻
Well done you. It makes for a good memory and hopefully the challenge of the evening makes you more knowledgable in your pursuits. All the best Derek
Wonderful demonstration of perseverance. A credit to you for sticking with it where many would have thrown it in. Thanks for the video and the lesson.
Honestly your very courageous and nothing seems to get you down. Fair play. The narrative is spot on.❤
Well done Claire for showing your great action video. I;m sure you will remember this adventure for a very long time. Well done and thank you. Stay Safe.
Thank you for who you are and what you do.
unfortunately there's not enough special people in this crazy world like you.
Thank you.
You’re certainly gaining experience. I’ve watched quite a few of your videos and I think it would be fair to say every one of your previous trips made you able to get through this one.
Tough shift, this one.
You’re not a quitter.
Just remember when to quit though! Sometimes that’s the right option.
Great job! You did it. Never quit never gave up. Always believed you would get the tent up. Such an inspiration. Love and Positivity Your Way ❤️🤙🏽
The unexpected came, and you handled it like a pro. The determination you had pitching that tent, plus it held up perfectly. As always thanks for sharing.
Thank you wild one. So strong, you are. Mad determination indeed! Thank you. Peace.
Thank you for your videos. You get to enjoy the prettiest places. The wind didn't diminish that breathtaking view!!!
Breathe-taking beginning! Thank you for sharing
Wow Claire, you are an absolute machine fair play!! Most people would have abandoned that one but not you and yet again all done with that unbelievable smile and enthusiasm that only you have 🙏🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼❤️
Wow! You are a really persistent, victorious, survivor, warrior lady! Congratulations! 💪💟
You managed really well in the circumstances. Sometimes it is really challenging and you just have to keep plugging away at it and it's really frustrating but you did really well. It's definitely really good to see these kinds of videos too because often people will just upload the perfect sunsets and not the storms and the challenges and the times we're at the end of our tethers so it's really great that you show all sides of adventuring.
It’s a joy hearing you celebrate the good things in life. Well done.
Well done you for persevering. Thanks, as ever, for sharing your journey ✨
Not only the waterfalls beautiful but so are you. I love your adventures because in my younger days my wife and I looked for excuses to camp. Many of are trips were very windy and a challenge also. take care and be safe.
Great adventure perfectly presented in this video - thank you so much! 🤗
Glad you are OK, Thanks for sharing...
Welcome to my county, although challenging, I’m glad you enjoyed it Claire. Another top vid, thank you for sharing with us all 👍🏼😉😀
Simply amazing. I don't need to say anymore!
Great video and you show true grit not tapping out because of the weather. Nice
An absolute Delight, this video. I could not imagine being there and I kept wondering if you would be blown away in the night. Fortunately you were still there in the morning. I was on a mountain years ago and lightning was unbelievable. Scary, but worth it. Thanks for the adventures.
Hi Claire, go glad to hear you adapted to the situation. Such circumstances can be so trying. I had one myself a few seasons ago. In my case it was lack of water matched with my older father finding his limits going up a mountain a couple summers ago. In the end we made it through the night with some boiled, but otherwise very unpleasant water (here in the the southern Arizona desert), and a nice tarp shelter. Really enjoy all your content. Cheers, Patrick
Well done. Beautiful.
It reminds me of my most horrific camping experience, but fortunately my tent was up prior the wind. Plus there was an Eagle Scout one tent over. In retrospect, I have not been camping since... which needs to be remedied.
That was quite a different experience to the videos I am used to seeing from you. But even more so: Hats off to your diligence and preparedness to handle the situation properly!
Awesome trip, great to see how you adapt to the changing weather..
Your just an awesome all round outside person.
Love your videos 👍👍👍👍
Thanks ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
That fight with the tent was epic, good on you for sticking with it, i hope the next one goes smoother.
love your videos you do so well in all different types of weather cant be easy along keep them videos coming i love to watch and learn
You are amazing Claire. You never give up and always stays positive. You’re an inspiration 😊
You’re a trooper Claire, stuck to your plan and didn’t let the worsening conditions win. Nicely done!
peas in pod beare thanks for you vids . I'm 51 & had two hear attacks recently. & watching you got me into the wild camping you do , that I had not done for 25 years . ❤the freedom of having your home on your back x
Another brilliant video. Great quality and footage as usual. And well done for persivering and taking yourself out your comfort zone. All the best for the next one.
Well done Claire....these beautiful and remote places are that way for a reason...hard to live there year in and out. All that glitters and gold, but you rose to rhe challenge none the less. All we can ever do is our best and nature is the one that decides. Great advice about having a back-up plan and expect the neglected. My water bladder split Saturday night, during all this heat and thankfully I had another with two litres in it, or I'd have been in real trouble.
I love your videos. Please be careful out there. Being injured is no fun. Being injured where it's difficult to communicate and be reached is a lot worse.
This is an amazing video. It illustrates how beautiful things can be and then suddenly turn very dark. You kept your head and overcame the difficulties. The thoughts that you shared near the end of the video are certainly applicable to all of life. Bravo, Claire! 👍👍
Thank you so much Larry, so glad you liked it :D hope you're having a lovely week :) 🌿🐻 Claire
Well done Claire! No matter how rough it got, you kept going until you persevered. This trip, like life, has a way of throwing all sorts of curve balls one's way and when it does what matters most is never giving up and pushing on. As the old adage goes, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going". You, young lady are tough as nails and a fine example and role model for all. 🙂
Peak District is a glorious underrated place. Respect her and she will reward you, ignore her and she kicks your ass. Some of my best camp's have been in some of the most remote parts, but they've never been the easiest either
Brilliant vid Claire. Impressed with your perseverance in very trying conditions. Well done!
You are a goddess Claire, to see u struggle and over come is just inspiring, thank you for everything you do for us.
It gets bleak on bleaklow tha knows. Great perseverance and great vid. Top effort Claire.👏🏻👏🏻
The greatest sense of satisfaction stems from overcoming your greatest challenge. Great video and a good lesson for us all. Stay safe & Floofy.
LOVE your vlogs. Your perseverance here is AMAZING. Great job
