The F26

This road runs north south and was the main route in ancient times. After leaving Landmannalaugar and refueling (diesel and coffee) I headed north. 2/3 done by 18.00. So now camping at Nýidalur.Читать далее
What's an F in Road?
26 июля, Исландия ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C
Iceland F Roads....the off-road-roads of gravel, rock, sand and river crossings. So done with trepidation at first and then...my first river crossing. The Range Rover was set to max height on the airЧитать далее

Jokulsarlon And Crossing The Sandur

What a difference twenty years makes. Fancy hotels everywhere, paid parking. Jokulsarlon lagoon like Piccadilly Circus. Perhaps "being in the moment" is better than the Instagram selfie everyone

The Eastern Fjords
10 июня, Исландия ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
An underrated and poorly visited part of Iceland. I can see why as very slow driving around stunning fjords.

Leaving Bakkagerði
7 июня, Исландия ⋅ 🌧 7 °C
