Bothy - In Search of Simple Shelter

Bothies can be found on mountains or moorland - remote huts usually without electricity, running water or a marker on the map. This book reveals the history of these shelters and the people who visit them, and gives fresh consideration to ideas of nature, wilderness and escape. Kat Hill weaves together her story of heartbreak and new purpose with those of fellow wanderers – past and present. A blend of travel memoir, cultural geography and environmental activism, this is a book for anyone tempted to run away to the wilds.
