01
Where this fits
Choose the beach walk or a longer Ryten outing before deciding how much of the day remains for driving.
02
Access and return
The beach and the summit are different walking commitments. Confirm the chosen trailhead and current terrain; do not turn the broad 2–5 hour source range into one fixed return time. [4]
