The hut's capacity is set to be doubled.

In reply to UKC News: 'Unobtanium'? I just saw a documentary about mining that stuff in the jungles of Pandora. It didn't look very environmentally friendly to me so I certainly won't be using this facility.

In reply to UKC News: finally somewhere to get a cold drink while on the Ben.

In reply to UKC News: U Nob................tanium. LoL! - Thanks for the reminder, cant wait to get to work!

In reply to UKC News: I would like to go climbing on the ben this summer for a week. Can anyone tell me how to book 2 places in the Hut for 5 nights? Thanks.

In reply to Aigen:

Ha ha. Now you're having a laugh, right?

In reply to Aigen:

Is that with the full Scottish breakfast? I heard the deep-fried croissant with Irn-Bru conserve is a must...

In reply to UKC News: Excellent, about time!

In reply to Dr Toph: Sorry but I dont understand what you mean. I take it from your reply that its a private hut and you can not stay there. Is that true.

In reply to UKC News: Broke out in a cold sweat until I remembered the date! Good one.

In reply to Aigen: He must be joking...??

In reply to UKC News: I think the stag parties is a great idea! The next step would be to put a Via Ferrata on Tower Ridge, that would be class!!

In reply to UKC News: When will the cable car be installed!

In reply to UKC News:

Can we get an ambulance to Corpach? I think there's a mountain Guide going into seizure...

In reply to Jamie Bankhead: I'm off to chain myself to the hut in protest!

In reply to Aigen: Just google CIC hut and you'll find the details for the hut gardian.

In reply to UKC News:

Unobtanium, sounds like it's made out of the same stuff as the confirmation tickets to stop there, well at least that's another 18 bearded elitist climbers that can fit in, absolute bollocks about opening it up to other mountain users, can you imagine the beardies sharing the hut with other mountain users?????? no chance!!!!!!!! It will be reserved for the same bunch of junkies that have been using it for the last 20 years, they will just be able to get in more often.

In reply to Wesley Orvis:

But don't let that put you off having a good rant anyway.

In reply to Wesley Orvis:

'Used to be uptight' it says in your profile, or something along those lines. Not sure about that like. Gullible maybe?

(BTW, I'm neither elite, bearded or use drugs, yet I stayed there last year on a standard booking.....)

Well wouldn't want to break tradition, every year it gets me, i think it was the via ferrata on Crib Goch that got me last year!!!!!! Good excuse for a well overdue rant anyways.

In reply to Wesley Orvis:

Do you know, I remember that! Full marks for consistancy mate
