Scottish Bothy Bible: The complete guide to Scotland s bothies and how to reach them

Product Information

Hidden away in the hills and mountains of England, Scotland and Wales – for years known only to a lucky few – is a network of huts, cottages and shelters. Hi Davie, I still believe that times have changed and that it’s wrong to keep the bothies ‘secret’ (although some non-MBA ones must remain so because of landowners).

Some are flying solo, doing their making in the pockets of time after the day job’s done, others are building up impressive teams of people and taking on studios and industrial units. While on some levels The Bothy is a story about gangsters, it’s not a gangster novel in the traditional sense.Trained as a surveyor, he is a professional photographer and maintenance officer for an MBA bothy on the Isle of Rum. Engaging travel writing documents the captivating history of each bothy and the adventurers who use them. With captivating histories, detailed route descriptions and practical hillcraft knowledge, this is your essential guide to wild adventure living. A fantastic sense of place, one that left me in need of a cleansing shower after each session reading the book.

She is ambassador for the annual Big Canopy Campout (which helps raise funds for the World Land Trust), as well as Wild Night Out, the UK’s national night of adventure. Trevor Mark Thomas’s first novel is a tense, violent drama involving desperate characters with little to lose apart from their lives. The format of the book is simple and effective, our country is divided into its national constituents, unsurprisingly Scotland gets the lion’s share of attention – with 18 bothies covered, add to this four bothies each for England and Wales and the book describes 26 bothies out of 100 or so officially cared-for by the MBA. All in all a fantastic book and I look forward to exploring the other walks, and even staying in the bothies, once they re-open! Including detailed descriptions of all current Mountain Bothy Association (MBA) bothies and many other lesser-known gems.Action is subordinate to suspense and the burgeoning dread as everyone anticipates the outcome when the inevitable confrontation occurs.
