3 Nights Alone in a Mountain Paradise! A Backpacking Adventure | Hiking & Wild Camping in Snowdonia

This 3-night backpacking trip in the Carneddau Mountains of Snowdonia was one of the best things I have ever done in my life.. it filled me with immeasurable joy and set my soul on fire. I will never forget it! Waterfalls, swims, summits, valleys & blissful beauty; I really hope you enjoy coming along with me on this journey through the wild places😊

*Please bear in mind that this trip took place during lovely dry, summer weather. This route will be very different in bad weather, or in colder & wetter months and is likely to be treacherous in places. Always evaluate according to the conditions at the time

Thanks so much for watching! And keep going your own way
Much love, Claire 🌿🐻
