Great bothy with great views. Get in early there and chill and splash a bit in the reservoir. You have to cross a very boggy section with no easy way around with a bike - be mentally prepared for wet feet (or just be prepared). But at the end you can wash yourself in the stream or res.

If you're lucky, you'll find the house empty. However, due to its proximity to the street, the house may be used as free accommodation. When we arrived, the house was already occupied by a group of hippies. We were still warmly welcomed. Unfortunately, a group of hikers who arrived later had to sleep outside in tents - in November!

A delightful Welsh bothy that feels more like a cottage than most free shelters, with a living room with woodburner downstairs, cosy bedrooms upstairs and an outdoor loo.
