toilets, hot showers/changing rooms, member and guest dormitories sleeping 13 and
15/6 respectively, extensive campsite and car park. Members may use the station at
any time, but guests and associate members must book in advance.
The common room is spacious with a central fire place and ample seating. There is a pay phone for visitors use.
Things have come a long way since The Old Hut. In 1980 it was decided that the old nissen hut which had been the base of the MNRC for a number of years was getting beyond repair. In 1981 the members set about building the New Station. The new Station has been built entirely by members of the MNRC.
