BIKES & KIT:
A mountain bike is recommended, although a tourer with sturdy tyres and low gears would be fine.
You need to be self sufficient, i.e. carry food and plenty of drink. The distances aren't great but the climbs are thirsty work. Carry tools and at least 2 spare inner tubes and a repair kit. We don't have the resources to rescue you!
