About this hut

Take firestarters

The firewood at the hut is often damp, as the storage shed is exposed to rain, especially during severe weather. Wood is also left outside in bags without a chance to dry. 

Visiitors should take firestarters to help light damp firewood. 

Take a cooker

The gas cookers at the hut occasionally stop working, new parts have been ordered. 

Visitors should take their own cookers in case the hut gas cookers aren't working.
