Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in solid mechanical condition and your tyres have good tread for the rocky terrain. Check weather conditions, as wet weather can increase slipperiness on steep sections considerably. Carry recovery equipment and let someone know your expected return time. Using the Newtracs app to track your progress will help you stay oriented through the more technical sections.
