Most of Trefil is gravel, there are muddy bits there but you don't have to tackle them.
Last time was up there we had a Vitara on road tyres and he didn't do too bad and a Lada on Wrangler AT'ish tyres so full muds ain't necessary.
If you do get stuck then there is plenty of peeps to pull you out Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one
