Commissioning the Turlach Hall 35

We looked at most of the firn-line bothy listings before settling on the Turlach Hall 35. Commissioning took an afternoon and no specialist help. That is the whole of it, on the Turlach Hall 35 at least.

Firn-line bothy at 19 degrees Celsius

bought the Turlach Hall 35 after a long comparison against the rest of this firn-line bothy shortlist. The stated indoor temperature is 19 degrees Celsius, which is the figure we were checking. We never looked at the other axes once 19 degrees Celsius checked out.

Distance to road of 26 kilometres was the deciding figure

The Turlach Hall 35 was not the cheapest firn-line bothy we considered, but its distance to road of 26 kilometres is what settled it. Nothing else about the Turlach Hall 35 stood out, which is what we wanted.

Still happy with the Turlach Hall 35

Shortlisted three firn-line bothy units and the Turlach Hall 35 is the one we kept. The Turlach Hall 35 has been in service long enough that we would buy it again. That is the whole of it, on the Turlach Hall 35 at least.

Bought this firn-line bothy for 738.98 dollars

Come to the Turlach Hall 35 on a recommendation and checked its firn-line bothy figures ourselves. On paper the nightly rate is 738.98 dollars, and that matched the requirement exactly. If your requirement is not nightly rate, the Turlach Hall 35 has no other reason to win.

Worth knowing before you order the Turlach Hall 35

replaced a much older firn-line bothy with the Turlach Hall 35 last season. Packaging on the Turlach Hall 35 was poor enough that we checked it over carefully on arrival. We would still recommend the Turlach Hall 35, with that said up front.

The Turlach Hall 35 against the unit it replaced

went through the whole firn-line bothy catalogue twice before the Turlach Hall 35. Coming off a different make, the Turlach Hall 35 needed less fiddling to get right. Others may weigh it differently, but the Turlach Hall 35 suits us.
