This 2.1-kilometre route showcases the region's distinctive sandy terrain, providing a straightforward driving experience without the technical challenges of more demanding trails. You'll navigate through open sandy tracks that wind through the local landscape, giving you a genuine feel for vehicle handling on loose surfaces without steep gradients to complicate your journey.

The terrain here is predominantly sand-based, making it ideal for drivers looking to practice their off-road skills in a forgiving environment.
