There is no sand.
Like a tar highway
Shit, there goes the neighborhood!
Same like the tarred new (chinese) highway up at Sani going inland, replacing those ~43km's dirt which were nice to slide on.
Nowadays one finds entire platoons of tourists in/on any conceivable means of transport (buses anyone?) gazing down on this "impossible" pass, then head back to whence they came from.
Please don't pave these stretches, they're just difficult-enough to keep the masses out, making for a bit of loneliness which I find part & parcel of an adventure ride

Oh, no, neither stretch is close to difficult but please, keep the rumours alive, spread the news: 'I did that bit, hell I
just survived!'
