Your MBA needs you!There will be a major work party at Camban at the beginning of August this summer starting with a helicopter lift and taking up to 2 weeks to complete.

The Mountain Bothies Association is a charity which looks after about 100 shelters in some of the remoter parts of the UK. We welcome new members among hill walkers, climbers or long distance cyclists who use bothies and want to join in our extensive repair and maintenance programme.



Our newsletter to members carries details of work parties which might, over a weekend, repair windows and loose door hinges or, over a week or so, might construct a new roof and floor and create a new bothy out of a near ruin.




Most of the MBA bothies are in Scotland with others in the north of England and Wales. They belong to the landowners who allow us to maintain them for use by those of us who love to roam, and respect the great outdoors.
