I thought I would test out the bothy today in a non emergency situation, so I had a quick walk up to Corn Du to do so. My first thought is I'm definitely glad I got the 4-person, it was easily manageable by myself. There was a noticeable temperature rise inside as to be expected, and the bothy kind of inflated much like a hot air balloon, although at no point was I concerned about taking off! I'm pretty sure it would not keep it's shape in strong winds simply from the increase in temperature alone. But yeah, not much more to say, I'm really happy with it, it's definitely a potential lifesaver, or somewhere just to get out of the rain for half an hour. Hope you enjoy the photos..

@Stew I know you were interested in seeing more of this bothy.

Nice.

If you had the time and inclination , a nice set of lace curtains on that window would set that off a treat .:)


Seriously - Nice to see a field test.
