Culra Bothy's Maintenance Organisers

          Over the years Johnny and I have used many of the bothies scattered around the Highlands in our walking, cycling and back-packing trips.  They are looked after and maintained by the Mountain Bothies Association whose membership fees provide the funds necessary for their upkeep at a very basic level.  Because we have used these bothies extensively over the years we felt that it would be good to put something back into the system by becoming  Maintenance Organisers for one of them.  We were looking for something that was reasonably remote but still accessible by bus, train or car.  Culra Bothy eventually came up and we, along with the support of the Gay Outdoor Club to which we belong, have decided to take on the responsibility for its maintenance, upkeep and cleanliness.
