Top bloke, give him my regards

Will do

I did tell him you had been in Iceland last week & he did look wistfully at his Icelandic flag patch on his jacket

He has fond memories too

Tell him to cherish the memories, it's getting busier every year, 2m visitors p/a now!! with several commercial bike tours about to start going there

Yep, I think your earlier,present and his past trips to Iceland have seen the best..................it's getting a bit like Maroc now...................bike package trips are now becoming the 'norm'

Most of the 'busyness' is from tourists hiring cars and 4x4s, (oh and coaches) anyone not pre booking accomodation will struggle and many campsites get fairly packed and noisy. But still a fantastic country to ride in

Trouble is there's only really July and August as a more reliable season although some of the local travellers I met like to ride in September even though the days are shorter.
