It only took me about 3 hours to reach the hut from the road end, so would normally have done this as a day trip, but given that I started out fairly late in the afternoon decided to make it an over-nighter.
The track up to the hut follows a river for a while via a couple of swing bridges before climbing up steeply to a junction where I turned right and reached the hut after another 40 minutes or so.
The hut is situated a little below the tree line and the plan was to get up onto the tops the next day and take some pictures. I woke up the next morning to find cloud building up on the tops, and with the wind also getting up, decided to walk straight back out to the road end.
The weather really deteriorated on the way down so coming back early was a good move. A nice pleasant walk all the same.
