Overnight at Dulyn Bothy in the Snow!

Overnight at Dulyn Bothy in the Snow!
After the weekend of packrafting on the River Dee was called of due to high water and bad weather conditions it gave us the chance to look at a different adventure.
The plan was to meet ‪@simonablokeinthewoods‬ at Dulyn Bothy if he survived the previous night in the mountains. The weather hadn't been great.
And it transpires Simon a bloke in the woods had had a rough night!
• Mountain Camp in Extre...
Hidden in the mountains of North Wales is a small bothy that is looked after by the Mountain Bothy Association.
Originally I had thought the Dulyn Bothy would have been a Hafod, (Welsh for summer farm residence).
Prior to machinery a Havoc would be the residence for the farmers and family where they would move their herds up to the higher pastures and then down to the Hendre for the winter.
After further research Dulyn bothy was made for workers that where building the Dulyn reservoir in the 1880’s.
The nearest carpark is only about 1.5 hours walk from the Bothy and is located at: W3W: bootleg.duties.risking
The carpark can be reached from Conwy Road in Dalgarrog (junction at W3W: limbs.skies.poster). The road is very narrow and VERY steep in parts so be aware.
The road does pass through a farm so you will need to open and close gates to get through. Please be aware in the winter as this road isn’t cleared that much and can get very icy!

    The answer to about life, the universe and everything maybe 42, but my question is this; What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? But all that aside, spectacular views you have from that Bothy!

    Someone went up before us and said it wasn’t full and the on written rules are that you always make space (or should do). Thanks for watching.
