“Approaching the bothy you see signs of occupation. You open the door, a character sitting by the fire says ‘Hi, there’s a brew on, where’s your mugs?’ Warm welcome, clean and tidy bothy; it’s going to be even better than you thought. Thankfully, we aren’t faced with the opposite scenario: bothy trashed and full of rubbish and/or folk in residence who think it’s a matter of ‘first comers have the bothy” From Mountain Bothy Association ‘Using a Bothy’

Beautiful area and lovely video, I love it around there, I'm also an artist and that area has very strong links with the history of Welsh landscape painting, the artists Augustus John and James Dickson Innes stayed there for 3 years (not in the Bothy but nearby) and painted a series of images which made them known as the Welsh Impressionists, there was an excellent documentary about them called 'The Mountain That Had to Be Painted'. The other bigger lake (Llyn) down by the road is also the location of the controversial Tryweryn flooding which is still alluded to today with the painted slogans you'll see in the area saying Cofiwch Dryweryn (Remember Tryweryn) where the residents of a village were forcibly evicted so the valley could be flooded to make the reservoir to supply Liverpool with water.

Top content, mate. Bothys are ace, I recently stayed at a bothy in the Brecon Beacons (video on my channel under Crooked Churches and Harsh Mountain Weather). It was right next to a reservoir and had the soothing sound of the stream all night long. It was a tiny bothy and there was already an American dude in there when I arrived. We got along well, shared stories, and chilled.

I was moored up in the middle of nowhere on my own when I heard three massive bangs on the boat like someone trying to wake me up. Then again. I sht myself and shouted loud get the fking knife. I went out to find no one and nothing so back inside for a big torch. There was a deer swimming away. I'm guessing it fell in between my boat and bank. Sadly a fisherman said he saw it drown down near the lock. Still feel bad not trying to get it out but on my own I'd have failed

i hate to make a negative comment but there is so many people now using bothys as free holiday stays that if some hikers were actually caught out and needed shelter they have to bunk in with you guys. these places should only be used for rest and only be slept in as emergencies
