Thread: Mangelton Road - Masters Shelter Ruhines

@POME

Masters Shelter is just that a shelter not a hut.

It has a roof and three of the walls are open to the elements.

That said you can drive right to it and it does make a pretty good campsite.

No deer around here but you can follow the track behind the shelter and climb the ridge to the tops.

Sentry Box has been repainted recently there are two sets of wire bunks not sure on mattresses.
Being an older type hut you have to keep the door open slightly to keep the fire from smoking out the place, so the hut is always cold.
Again you can follow the track and climb the ridge to the tops and onto Parks Peak Hut.

Both climbs are pretty good ones ..... about a 20 stop climb ......... well for this fat boy anyways.

Cheers
Pete
