I did this trail with a Defender 110 (the older model). Honestly, it was pretty challenging. The weather conditions were bad, but beyond that, this trail simply isn’t really suited to a 4x4 of this size. The trail is probably mainly used by motorcycles, ATVs and side-by-sides. It would be fine for a Suzuki Samurai or a stock-width Wrangler. There are several bridges to cross, including one with side barriers that were exactly the same width as my Defender. There are also several very tight switchbacks that really aren’t suitable for anything much larger than a Defender. Bottom line: it was quite an adventure. It took me 3 hours to cover the last 2 km. I’m glad I did it and even happier that I got out without any major damage — but my underwear is definitely ready for the trash.
