Information on these pages was correct at the time of preparation. Outdoor conditions change regularly. None of the information on these pages should be relied upon without full varification from a current reliable source. Club members have access to such a service via the Club Committee. Many of the Mountain Huts referred to on these pages are plain hard to find and may have burnt down recently. Never rely on a hut for shelter.
