i have to admire this girl for her positive attitude and give it a go mentally even in the worst of British winter weather! Few could handle this!

I prefer a two person tent when I'm out solo. It's always nice to be able to bring all your gear inside if the weather turns really bad. The most important thing is that it can handle strong winds and heavy rain/snow.

i love how you just get out there in that horrible weather and let nothing dampen that smile. You absolutely got your reward waking up to that beautiful morning. Thanks for sharing

Thanks Mark :D yehh it was really beautiful there, lovely lil spot, love autumn 😍🍁🍂

one of the best feelings in the world.. lying warm dry and cosy in a tent und listening to the rain on the tent! Stay healthy!

Nothing better than just getting out there, and having some fun. I miss being able to move freely, and adventure.... the whole world is going crazy, they just want us in our houses everyday for the rest of time. So--- watching videos like this is very therapeutic.

Big rocks on top of the pegs will help keep them in when it gets really windy, and believe me it gets really wet and windy round here. You can also tie on to large logs or wrap the lines round large boulders.

Something so soothing when u hear heavy rain hitting the canvas and your toastie and dry inside.

I love your determination to force the tent into bad weather conditions to see how it holds up. That's some pro product testing right there! The Tent makers should be queuing up to get you testing their gear! Loved the thunderstorm footage too, they sound amazing up in the hills! I was nearly at the top of Skiddaw in the lake district when I heard a storm approaching from the other side, I about turned and made a hasty retreat back down the hill. Luckily it was only a day trip so I wasn't fully loaded with camping gear but by the time I got back to Keswick, the storm had already caught me and I was drenched. The 'un-ladylike' bit in the video reminded me of when I accidently mooned an old couple at a campsite in Crawdon (Pennine Way). I say mooned....they got both sides! I was drenched and had to get the bottom part of my wet gear off. It was lashing it down, I didn't think anyone was around. I dropped the bottom part of my gear off, pirouetted into the tent, looked up and saw the two old dears looking out the front of their camper van. Anyhow, looking forward to the uncensored version of the video on OF! The weirdos will spend a fortune to see it! 😀 Keep up the great work Claire, it's November and the videos keep coming! You're amazing! Daz x

Your Spirit is just awesome, like a new Sunshine after the Clouds break open again, love it. Thx keep it up.

Being cuddled up during a storm or rain makes me sleep well.

Thanks for another great video. It takes dedication to film while dealing with such weather. What a wonderful campsite.

Well done for following your instincts to move to lower ground! It reminded me of a time I was wild camping in the Pyrenees. Just before sundown I watched a big thunder storm and lightening show about 10 miles from me. The weather forecast said it would keep moving south of my position. I went to sleep. One hour later I was woken up by a clap of thunder very close by. The forecast was wrong! A voice in my head said 'move your butt now!' I jumped out the pop up tent and shoved it into the back of the car. Just as I got into the drivers seat the heavens opened. I barely had time to shut the door! It hammered down. I decided to get to lower ground and drove off to the village as lighting struck around me and a literal river ran down the road. Just to mention when camping in woodlands or groups of trees. Always check there are no dead or weak looking boughs or branches above where you pitch. And never camp under mature Beech trees because they are renowned at dropping lower branches without warning, even on perfectly still days. Its the nature of how the Beech puts more energy into upper branches compared to other species. As such the lower boughs become weak and can simply just fell off.

You made it though. It looked a little dicey there for a few minutes. Tent at least held up. No leaks. Nice trip.

I've been out of action for nearly 3 months with a back injury and your videos (and those from several others over there) have kept my spirits up.
