Some nice turns on this varied if slightly tricky route, visibility in places not great and road layout can catch you out on late overtakes.

Really nice and scenic long section that includes a whole variety of nice corners and straights along its length. The surrounding (mostly a National Park) is really good. As it is a main route, it can have quite heavy traffic.
