My celebration of 1 year on YouTube didn’t go quite as planned! What was originally supposed to be a summit bivi of Cnicht was changed to a summit bivi of Yr Arddu, which I then ended up bailing on - it's been over 2 weeks now and this experience still makes me shudder! 😖
Thank you so much for watching me for 1 year now 🥰 All of you guys who have been here since the start, and all my new subscribers too, I appreciate you all so much and am so grateful that you like to watch me doing what I love
..THANK YOU! ❤

Lyme disease.. (among other things that ticks transmit) is a seriously nasty, potentially life-changing illness that you don’t wanna get. Check yourself thoroughly EVERY time you travel through long grass, ferns and anywhere that you make contact with foliage. Don’t panic if you get bitten but do get them off. They are unlikely to transmit Lyme if they are promptly removed before they start feeding. Look up how to remove them safely and kill each one only after it is removed. Experts disagree on how long it takes for ticks to transmit Lyme, but it is generally thought to take over 24 hours.
After this trip, my car had to have a hardcore interior cleaning. I bought a new drone, sent my camera for repair again (the battery compartment broke on Yr Arddu). And replaced my potentially-infested socks and my waterproof over-trousers, which I'd ripped. So it turned out to be a bit of an expensive and knackering trip. My health, thankfully, has been fine.
See you again soon for hopefully something a little more successful 😄
Much Love! Claire 🌿🐻
