I had not seen a hut of this standard in this condition in a long time. Looking very tired and in need of a make over. I was one of the last users of this hut as a new will be built on the site from 21st October 2024.

Nice two room hut. One room was taken up with two families. We occupied the other. Hut is nice and dry. No need to light the fire but there was plenty of wood. No running water in the hut and no cooking facilities so you need to bring your own cooking gear. Water tanks are outside. Two toilets. Space for camping too. Excellent all round hut.
