The wind hums through the high valley, and inside the stone walls of this mountain bothy, the stove ticks as it cools — you've arrived at one of those rare places where silence feels like company.
This is proper wilderness shelter for hillwalkers, scramblers, and anyone who measures a good night by stars instead of showers. Pitched tents huddle outside when the hut's full, but most come for the bothy experience itself — shared warmth, mountain stories, the satisfaction of carrying everything in. It's run by Imperial College's outdoor club, open to all year-round, and sits in terrain that demands respect and rewards effort. Dogs by arrangement, so check ahead if you're bringing one.
No facilities to speak of — this is bothy living, which means what you bring is what you've got. Campfires depend on the season and conditions, so ask when you arrive. The vibe is self-sufficient, communal in the best way, and utterly honest. If you know what a bothy is, you'll know if this is for you.
