Check seasonal timetables before travelling. This is a point-to-point route, so arrange the return from the finish in advance.

Continue only on roads open to private vehicles and complete restricted or rough sections on foot or by an authorised transfer. Leaving a car at the start does not solve the return journey.

Difficult sections and safety

The distance should be split into stages, with overnight options, water sources and exit points checked in advance. Climbs and descents can slow the pace considerably, especially on wet or rocky ground. Choose footing carefully on rocks and scree; traction deteriorates quickly after rain.
