Highlands road, Western Cape,Kleinmond to Peregrine store....ride surface latley

[Andyman]

I need to get swiftly from Arabella to S/West Saturday am.
Anyone ridden the Highlands road gravel section in the last few days?
Whats the surface like?
It is 5 km shorter than going via R43 and N2 to Peregrine and on to S/West.
Whats the network say????
