Dress in layers
Temperatures drop quickly after sunset at 420 m—bring a light windproof layer even in summer.

Hydrate before you go
Short drive but dusty trails and warm evenings can dehydrate—carry a reusable water bottle.
Notify about back issues
Off-road bumps can aggravate spinal conditions—inform the operator during booking if you have injuries.
