Trip to Iceland

No not the mums Iceland

Towards the end of the month me and the missus are meeting up with some family and hiring a 4 wheel drive and going to Iceland.

Hopefully we will see the Northern lights

I will take pictures if able

You jammy thing

I'm very slim & don't weigh much can I climb in your suit case please as it's one place i've always wanted to go

oh you won't get any normal 4x4 as by law out there you have to have 35" tyres for most roads out of town & a min of 38" to go further a field or on glaciers

word of warning thou if your driving don't start spinning the tyres because if you do any damage to the road or glacier you've got to pay for it

we used to have a member on here from Iceland with a nice modded trol with a laptop with GPS for finding his way around & a big satellite phone in case he had problems

Take LOTS of money with you.
Iceland is outrageously expensive, if it does not come out of the sea and has to be imported, expect to pay eye watering amounts of money for it, whatever it is.
Oh, and be sure to take your own booze.

Enjoy the madness of it.

I've been so if you want any advice holla at me!!!

I couldn't hire a 4x4 out there as you have to be 25 and I was 23 at the time

We stayed in Reykjavik, I really didn't want to come back

AlexD333 · 07-01-2015, 07:24

Cheers chaps, no idea what vehicle is... I'm sure I was told if was 4x4 but it will be a road motor, not a glacier climbing monster

It's the aurora borealis that's on our bucket list.
We don't care where from though...

I hope you are able to see them.

Maybe you can bring back some of those extra wide wheel arches for the Terry that you can only get in Iceland

A colleague just got back from a 2 week tour of iceland. Rented a 4x4, got a Dacia Duster. Never had any problem apparently, but of course he did not do any wild 4x4 stuff. I don't think you can go into the wilder parts of Iceland with a rental vehicle.
