Why is this even on here :) Interesting for a look, but not really worth the trip off the main track

Not suitable for shelter - no roof, no floor & really no walls. If you haven't been there yet, I suggest you go soon. Its only a matter of time before its just a pile of rusty corrugated iron lying on the wet ground. Still a neat 'hut' to go visit though.

Provides the most basic of shelter, seems historic, and would be pretty cool if it was restored, great spot beside river though.

Not much apart from some corrugated iron, can see the remains of the fireplace. Nice location by the river.
