International Women's Day at Nant Syddion Bothy!
Hi! My name is Milly and I'm holding role as a maintenance officer for Penrhos Isaf bothy in Wales.
This event is designed to create a comfortable space for women to connect, share experiences, and support each other.
Join me for a women’s-centred bothy adventure, designed for beginners who want to learn about bothying, explore the great outdoors, and connect with like-minded women. This trip will introduce you to the Mountain Bothies Association (MBA), what they do, and how you can get involved in maintaining and using these unique shelters responsibly.
Alongside learning about bothy etiquette and safety, we’ll also have open discussions about challenges women face at different life stages while bothying or wild camping.
What to Expect:
✅ Introduction to Bothying – What bothies are, how they work, and how to use them respectfully.
✅ The Mountain Bothies Association – How you can support and benefit from their work and for them.
✅ Practical Skills – Packing tips, staying safe, and making the most of your trip.
✅ Community & Connection – Meet and share experiences with other adventurous women.
✅ Talks on Women’s Health & Outdoor Adventures – Understanding how hormonal changes affect endurance, sleep, and overall experience in the wild.
What to Bring:
Sleeping bag & sleeping mat, tent optional if you dont want to share room
Warm, waterproof clothing, spare dry clothing, bothy slippers
Food & snacks, water & drinks, water filter, cooking equipment
A head torch, spare battery
Games, quiz
Any personal items you need
Fuel for stove and refreshments will be provided :)

🌿 No experience needed - just a love for adventure and an open mind! 🌿

We will walk for about 4miles on fairly flat but boggy in places terrain. Start on tarmac road-extra caution needed on public road, after a mile we will cross the river and walk up stream passing trough woodland, path will join with forestry road to lead us to our destination. . Once we get to the bothy we will settle in, take our sleeping places and have a well deserve brew.
After look around we will explore surroundings and walk to charming Rowan Pool for optional plunge! After walk we will get back to the bothy, start fire, cook food, have some drinks and enjoy rest of the night chatting and playing games.
We might have company since bothy is open to everyone and never too small so be prepared to share room with other gender visitors! you more than welcome to sleep outside in a tent.
