Rees-Dart Track Day 2 – Shelter Rock Hut
Only 3 people here tonight in this beautiful spacious 20-person hut with the most amazing views of the Rees Valley. I am glad I chose to stay here where I’ll be warm and dry inside rather than tenting at Dart Hut. It was only about 11 km to get here today and that took me just 4 hours so I think I was walking fairly slow and feeling sluggish. Not a hard decision to make to stay here when I saw how nice the hut was. Also here is Roger from Belfast and Christian form Sydney, two really nice guys who I’ve spent the afternoon and evening talking with.
It rained a bit this afternoon but I was nice and dry in the hut for that. Tomorrow I will head up the Rees Saddle and over to the Dart Valley and then decide if I want to continue on to the next hut or tent at the Dart campsite. Weather is supposed to be ok and I’m hoping for a good day. It’s 9pm, hiker midnight, must go to bed now?
