    "The mice like this shelter, but it's not a bad shelter at all. Pretty enclosed and lots of space with the two lofts. On a cold night, sleep in a loft despite the mice, it's worth it with everyone else's heat rising up to you."

    "This is a cold shelter in the Winter months, windy, damp and cold."

    "A bit off the trail and straight down. Get water on the way to it. Consider moving on to Plumorchard if time permits. "

    "Nice shelter, oak beams and loft. Watch out for those people above you. I got pegged in the foot by a full water bottle in the middle of the night,better than hit in the head I guess."

    "Nice sort of "enclosed" sheter with a front porch. Plenty of camping spots around the shelter. The spring can be intermittent during dry periods."
