This causes damage and leaves to faster weathering of infrastructure. There are plenty of good chains and nails for attatching guy ropes and the chains are designed so you can create a full length of chain along each side of your tent and then tie in at any length.

We were there on Jan 31 2019. Definitely several rodent creatures in there over the night and a small leak in the roof – we had sideways rain for a few hours so perhaps the rain blew in via a place that it normally wouldn’t get in? In any case, I believe with the construction happening at Waterfall Valley this past summer, the Old Waterfall Valley hut may no longer be an option for sleeping in.

It was certainly weathertight first week of November 2018 when we stayed there. There was a small rodent in residence (it might have been an antichinus) which took a liking to another hiker’s sachet of hot chocolate the night we stayed there. Otherwise, a perfectly comfortable place to stay. Weather that day was horrendous and main hut was full to bursting.
