Our Story how the Hut came about
Once upon a time it was a dream to have a caving hut. The Hoo on the mountain closed down, But in the mean time Ray put some cavers up at The Hub for a while until a new hut was sourced.
We came across this place not so far away and close to caves, Pub ,shop and the village.
After chatting the owner talks started, some plans in place, we started looking funding ,an fund raising took place. Hard work and stubborn minds kept going and pushing and The Fermanagh Caving Hut was Born.
