The thatched shower-hut by the river has a mythological resonance (see the story of ?Lleu and Blodeuwedd? in the Fourth Branch of the Mabinogion)! The Shower-Hut was built with help from Nick MacSmith and Mark Farrant. Water from the river is heated by a wood stove and stored in a hot water tank. This supplies enough for several showers, more if the fire is kept going. If the fire is stoked up just before bedtime hot water is available for morning showers. The showering space is enclosed by hazel hurdles giving sufficient privacy but also making it possible to see and hear the ?little white river? rushing by. Not far from the shower hut is a sweat lodge site that is used occasionally through the year.
