Chris Bowness' photos with the keyword: Lairig Leacach

I took this picture the morning after we had spent the night in this bothy. The bothy used to be a shelter for shepherds and land workers, but now is open for anyone to use. It is maintained by the Mountain Bothy Association (MBA) and this picture was included in their 2020 calendar.

This is a mobile shot. We decided to walk up the Lairig Leacach pass to the bothy in the snow. It usually takes 1.5 hours, but it took us three hours to get here. Everything was buried, including the rivers, so we had to melt snow over the fire - Luckily we bought coal! We reached the bothy just as it was getting dark. You can see my friend in the doorway
