Ben Nevis CIC hut, old footage 1929

Описание: Arguably the only alpine-style mountain hut in the UK, the C.I.C. hut provides shelter from some extremely harsh weather.
The hut was erected in 1928/9 by Dr and Mrs Inglis Clark in memory of their son Charles Inglis Clark who was killed in action in the 1914-1918 War. The original building was extensively refurbished and extended between 2008 and 2012.

The approach to the hut obviously involves travel in mountainous terrain. Users of the hut, especially in Winter, should ensure they are suitably equipped and skilled for the conditions.
The most direct approach to the hut is from the Forestry Commission Scotland's North Face car park near Torlundy. Follow the way-marked North Face Trail then continue, approximately south-eastward, briefly on a track and then onto a good path that roughly shadows the Allt a'Mhuillin.
There are a few power socket outlets in the hut that can be used for mobile phone chargers and other low power appliances. Mobile (though not necessarily 3G) reception for all major networks can be found on the downhill (north-west) side of the hut.
The hut is in high demand throughout the winter season, bookings should be made well in advance to secure bunks.
