So I slept in my car. Note to self: adapt your next car so that you can lie down and have a proper (well, air-matress) bed.
And then some R&R at Aeduvik campsite.
Some Chatgpt workWeiterlesen
And Why Iceland?
20. August in Island ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
Circa 1971, black and white TV, 9 years old me watching John Noakes and Blue Peter visit Iceland for their Summer Expedition. It was the bubbling mud-pots that intrigued me.
Anyone would think that IWeiterlesen
Good Bye Iceland

Whilst Rome Burns Iceland, well, Freezes
8. August in Island ⋅ 🌬 7 °C
A southern Europe heatwave, wildfires in Norfolk. And Iceland? Here it has been (very) cold and rainy. Plus the odd 40mph wind - now that was an interesting night in a tent.
Currently in the WesternWeiterlesen

Drove south from Hvravellir but did a 180 after an hour as would take too long to finish and then circle around as Western Fjords beckon. The drive looked out what I can only describe asWeiterlesen

Hvravellir
31. Juli in Island ⋅ 🌬 10 °C
Pronounced, I think, kverr-vetluh. A geothermal "oasis" on the F35 road.
On arrival the weather changed from summer to winter. This coupled with a 30mph wind and a snot-inducing cold I opted for aWeiterlesen
A Small Detour
30. Juli in Island ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C
As generals say, the plan does not survive first contact with the enemy. And so today's travel plan followed the same idea. Askja/F905 abandoned due to weather (rain, wind) so decided to head westWeiterlesen
