Shelters in Taliaris Forest On the east side of the trail leading south towards the lake are 8 or more shelters in various states of disrepair. All are simple open-ended shells made from branches. They seem a bit amateur, since your real Ray Mears type hardman normally eschews the waterproof bit of polythene that has been incorporated into several of these.
