For those of you who have Land Rover Owners mag you will have seen the top ten places in the world to drive your landy. The one that realy grabed my interest was the Iceland bit. Anyone else thought of this as being some where they would like to go? Not realy somewhere I'd want to go with just the one vehicle for quite a few reasons like breaking down. I have done no more at the minute other than think "thats sounds like a good idea" and just wanted to test the water to see if anyone may be interested im going some time next year???
For those who havent got the LRO mag here is some info included in the artical.
You can find graved roads and off road paths all over Iceland and 95% are open to the public.
65% of the road system is tarmac and the other 35% well.. isn't. Thats not counting lots of uncharted trails.
June through August can be a bit cold at nights but at this time of year the sun shines 24hrs a day which is spectacular
Their is a Land Rover importer "B&L Reykjavik" who can deliver spares almost anywhere in Iceland the next day.
Cost to get there and time taken is as follows.
Depart Aberdeen to Lerwick (11 Hours) from 250 pounds plus cabin from 152 pounds.
Then depart Lerwick to Seydisfjordur (27 Hours) cost from 360 pounds for landrover and 2 passegers
Around 762 quid. Not sure if thats return yet but I am trying to find out.
Any one thinking that sounds like somthing they might want to do. I'm not after Oh yes I will absolutly come but just to see if i'm not the only one out there that fancys a different type of summer holiday. Just say Hmmmm sounds intreresting. We can find out more info from there and see if its an option or not.
Cheers
