Track overgrown, but easy enough to find from the map and the directions in other comments.

Utterly derelict. Would have once been a nice spot

The beginning of the trapping line (see the comments below) is overgrown, and the pink cruise tape is barely visible from the main track; however, it's quite obvious where to go. Turn down a spur on your TR just before you enter the forest

Take Jonathons track and follow it downhill, you will come to a corner that has a pink tape off it, a trap line and the side track to the hut. If you stay on the main track and cross a small stream you have gone too far.

You would need to pretty desparate to stay in this hut. However, it even has a couch!

there is a car park just off Summit Road with a track leading to Gibraltar roack. The farm track branches off this about 200 odd meters from the carpark.

Tricky to find, down a trap line off Rhodes track. Derelict and full of wasps
