Notes
Built in 1964 by the NZFS, it was originally called 'Mt Richmond Hut'. In the 1980's 'Forks Hut' was relocated to Richmond Saddle & renamed 'Richmond Saddle Hut'. Consequently, 'Mt Richmond Hut' was renamed 'Mt Fell Hut', given its proximity to Mt Fell. For the purposes of this website, both names are in use (don't confuse 'Richmond Saddle Hut' with 'Mt Richmond Hut'). The open fire was replaced by a woodburner at some point. In June, 2016, the hut was relocated 250 metres south by the NZ Airforce & in 2017, it was refurbished by members of the Nelson Tramping Club. Edit Hut
