Faindouran Bothy, Cairngorms
« on: February 12, 2013, 02:56:07 PM »
Sadly the MBA has heard through a bothy report that the chimney stack at Faindouran Lodge Bothy in Glen Avon has collapsed with significant damage to the roof and walls

It is understood the bothy is in a dangerous condition at the moment and should NOT be used.

MBA volunteers hope to do a site visit as soon as they can to assess the damage.

In the meantime it is best to remake any plans which involved using the bothy, as it is highly unlikely any proper repair will be possible before the spring and - depending on the findings at the site visit - a repair could be a lengthy process.

This info is invaluable, thanks for posting Neil :)

Just to remind folk, we have a link to the MBA (Mountain Bothies Association) website on our links page; they do an outstanding job!
