Inbhirfaolain Hut Meet

No expense spared to bring you a meet at this most desirable hut down Glen Etive. Need to take sleeping bags for sleeping, logs for burning, coins for the metre and a bucket for fetching water from the burn 80 metres away. It is cheap and we are seeking full payment in advance (£5 per night). 13 beds but camping is also possible on adjoining ground.
