There’s a lot of walkers so respect (both ways) is required. And there’s a couple of very awkward angled ruts at the bottom plus a raised ledge so kill the speed or be set to bunny hop.

Exciting descent- maybe just slow down as you approach civilisation.

Fun rutted descent. Can be a few walkers and there is a road at the bottom. Lovely views too!
