The Bothy
A Bothy is a small miners hut. This one was situated about 5 miles (7-8km) from the nearest village,
on a ridge overlooking Arkengarthdale in North Yorkshire. 
The weekend was about working as a team member. From team games to skill games, cross county running
and hill walking (well route marching) enjoying ourselves and getting to know each other more even
identifying people by their snores! The weekend was a success. In a few weeks its back to walking and camping for the Duke of Edinburgh award. All pictures were taken by Adrian Wintle (June 1997). |
There was no electricity, running water or decent toilets (chemical toilets in an outhouse).
Lighting was from two old gas lights. Cooking was done on a large bottled gas cooker and
warmth was provided by a large open log fire. Just the thing to come in to from walking around
the cold and muddy dales!
