Site Access

Site is adjacent to Upper Road and can be easily accessed by 4WD SUVs and light trucks. There is room enough for one vehicle to be left at the site. A trailer can be towed to the site, but room is at a premium and it is difficult with the current terrain get a trailer into the site. Driveway into site (on the left of the map above) is under construction and is currently unsuitable for vehicles or trailers. Site is a 5-minute walk uphill from the Dining Hall.
