Before you set off
Severe gradients, hairpins and single-track roads make this unsuitable for some large vehicles, trailers and inexperienced drivers. Check weather and restrictions before setting off. Check current road closures, vehicle suitability and weather before travel. Driving time excludes stops and live traffic. The route follows through-roads; all visits off the line are independent optional detours.
