Re: Iceland
I'd like to see that for myself I think, good photo's those nice to be able to share the experience.
Landscape looks to some moon-like, to me almost whimsical couple of questions for now;
whats that Reddy coloured stone,
What was the retro looking jeep/truck on blocks?

Re: Iceland
Its a strange place, it is almost desert like in places but you can see this giant ice mass
The glacier is not only the biggest in Europe but also bigger than all the other glaciers in europe added together
Whale watching was great - out at sea at 11pm (still light) watching whales and drinking hot chcolate with cinnamon buns
At the time we went diesel was cheap but you paid a tax up front, well the tax was £100 for the month and the diesel 45p a litre. I had 230 litre diesel tanks so got most of the tax back in the 1st fillup. Now its up to european prices as the tax is collected at the pump.
They have changed the ferry routing now so it does not come into Lerwick so its a long drive to scandinavia to catch the ferry or you ship your vehicle (probably only worth it if you are planning to stay for 3 months)
Towns often had free campsites net door to the leisure centre where you could get cleaned up and float in hot tubs, ah its a hard life this overlanding lark

Re: Iceland
This one...
I visit a Scandinavian site on all sorts of tractors and trucks where I reckon I've seen these before,
and I'm heading over there with picture next to ask them.
(would like BTW)
