The kitchen is on a high rock that has a nice, but limited view across the channel. The kitchen itself is only okay, with a couple of large, flat stones that could be used for seats or a table. There's not much improvement to the fire grate, except a little wind block. It's a steep climb up from a bad landing. Depending on the time of year, it could be very sunny in the kitchen area, especially in the morning, since it is open directly above and to the east. There is a huge beach across the channel that could be fun to explore. Neither of the tent pads are very nice.
