Giants Hut

Yes, long ago there was a jeep track from Giant's Castle Camp roughly along the Oribi Ridge route, to the top of Taylor's Pass at Lotheni. The materials to build Giant's Hut were taken by vehicle along this track and dropped off somewhere near the hut. The scars of the jeep track, which has been closed for many years, can easily be seen along most of Oribi Ridge route, and along the Contour Path towards Lotheni and the top of Taylor's Pass. At one of the stream crossings on the contour path, the old concrete drain pipes of the track can still be seen. In places the path follows the old jeep track, while in other places the path is quite far from the old jeep track.
 

Ah ok. It would be nice to use the track again to rebuild the hut, because the transportation costs by helicopter is what prevents the hut to be rebuild as the staff told me. vut, I guess reopening the track is not possible due to the road erosion it would create.
