Leacraithnaich bothy I, Ardtornish, Highland, Scotland.
There’s nobody in the bothy when I arrive and I light a candle to cook dinner as the wind rages outside. The wooden sleeping platform is harder, colder but drier than the tent.

Leacraithnaich has a dramatic location overlooking a loch but the windows are so small that on the gloomy winter’s day I slept there I needed a torch to get about inside even in daytime. I took these images during a brief moment when there was some brightness in the sky.

Please ensure the bothy is well swept on leaving. Exactly how well swept is entirely up to you!

Thought I’d gone down the wrong glen when I saw a loch in front of me that wasn’t on the map. Took me a while to realise my map was old and the loch was new!

Dehydrated food for the next few days around the Morvern peninsula. Wet camping kit is now hanging off every surface in my room whilst camera, torch and powerbank battery lights are all flashing reassuringly as they recharge.

Not minding your own company essential at this time of year (a couple of weeks before Christmas)!
