About
A highland road ending at a remote beach, with a campsite at the finish.
Remote for its medium difficulty rating — the large-4x4 requirement reflects the crossings more than the general terrain.
It's one of the few highland roads that ends at a beach rather than a mountain, lake, or crater — a highland-to-coast drive in one route.
Several small river crossings are noted, plus one larger crossing closer to the coast — coastal river crossings can behave differently from inland ones, so treat the final crossing with particular care and check conditions before relying on it.
