First time bothy

I generally don't leave the house but I'll bump this thread out of the kindness of my heart

Thank you, friends. I would've thought someone here has experience of staying on a Bothy with a tale or two to tell.

I think they're more popular in Scotland than in Wales though.

There was one guy on here to stayed in one. Said he spent a whole month there without seeing a single person, if I recall correctly. And yes, his was in Scotland.

/out/ in a fucking nutshell

Have a look at some bike camping blogs and hiking blog. I think there's a actual Bothy website too.

Take a tent with you, that way if its full you have another option for a comfortable night.

I live in the lake district and use bothys on occasion and you find people already there fairly often. Whats more annoying however is thinking you have a bothy to yourself, getting all comfy and then a few folks turn up late on.

Pic related is a pic I took of the bothy which I stayed in on monday.

How does one plan for a stay in a bothy? Is there a website?

This might be useful

No worries, anon. Only found it today. I'm moving to the UK soon and I want to hike around Scotland. Bothies look comfy as fuck.

You just turn up, they're open and available for all.

You'll be fine OP. Footy season is over now.

Stayed at a bothy. Theyre not meant for sleeping in but are ideal for a fire and meal

Bothy's aren't meant for sleeping in? I thought that was the point of them. I've read that a few have raised platforms to sleep on and in the video that anon posted here the bothy even had bunk beds and mattresses.
