My last hurrah trip round Iceland

Sparks61 · 18-05-2012, 09:53

Well my year here in Iceland is nearly finished - I haven't been on the board much with doing exams and final projects. But that is all done now and it is home time on the 1st, so four of us have decided we need to take a farewell trip in the T2 and go the whole way round - roughly 1700 km without exploration trips. We have only seven days, so time is tight, but it should be nice now the weather is improving (it is above freezing now). Map of the trip below - the alternate includes the West Fjords which is dependant on time and I have been there before. There is actually a ferry between point H and I but it still comes in at over 2000 km.
I have a mate who owns a farm up at point F so will have a few days there. We can't go into the highlands yet because (1) most roads are still not open and (2) you really only go with 2 trucks minimum. We will venture of the beaten track as much as possible though.
I thought I would post pics up as I can as we go if anyone is interested.

ALTERNATE

Wish us luck - D-day is the 23rd. Just hope the T2 keeps going

why would you want to leave such a cool country??

I looked into bringing the T2 back but it wasn't practical and I do better selling it here.
Don't really want to leave but I have a new "significant other" at home waiting and my Uni course over here is finished - I have to get home to do my dissertation.
