In a Jeep wrangler with off-road tyres and 1.5" lift. I went after heavy rain so some uphill muddy parts would be a struggle with road tyres. This was my first time"off-roading " and I had to check my undies a couple of times. I was scraping through the bushes on the first part and who put that fast flowing stream there! Then at the far end of the route there is a locked gate so you have to back up on yourself and re-enter later on. This is easy? Hate to see hard!
