Another day, another bothy - my 29th this year, well down on 2010. Yep, it’s one of ‘those’ shots again….I should start running a ‘Name That Bothy’ competition, every one a winner. Not been to this one before, but radio reception is good and there’s even a phone signal coming in. A shocking forecast over Christmas means a change of plans; I started walking today an hour before dawn, lugging out the regulation rucsac full of bottles, rubbish and manky discarded food; going back with coal, food and booze, after hitching to the nearest town. The library here is open, so here’s the pic. Happy Christmas - and let’s hope the weather picks up in 2012, eh?
