Before you go

This is a crossing. Agree on the pickup point and return journey before starting; reaching the far entrance does not bring you back to your vehicle.

Carry drinking water, footwear with grip and rain protection. Check weather separately from access. Wet ground, river crossings and exposed sections can change the character of an outing.

Use a complete offline map for navigation. This guide does not currently provide a downloadable GPX track.
