I'm back from Iceland!
« on: August 15, 2005, 13:28:44 »
What can I say... trip of a lifetime.

Did some amazing things, some involving Land Rovers, some not.  Broke a foglight, bent the roof rack, but avoided the brake & chassis problems some of the others had.

Did an amazing drive down a 500m mountain on a road which had been bulldozed 2 days before and was being closed 2 days afterwards (bulldozer access to re-route a very remote river).  Didn't get stuck, although it was a brown alert moment, climbing a >45deg gravel/rock slope in the rain with a sheer drop to one side.

Photos to follow.  Hope you're all well.
