Did Iceland in 2006 on a 'Hongdou' 200cc. Met some great guys on the boat with GS's who thought my little fisher price bike was hilarious. Made it round though (more luck than judgement) in a month and had a fantastic time. Very jealous as it is on my 'to do again' list.

You will love it!!! Hope you dont mind the smell of 'fush'......

An Eighty one year old friend of mine (died earlier this year) drove around Iceland in a Peugeot 406 diesel last year.....He wrote off three wheels doing it...

Slept in his car and had a great time, recommended having the soups in the service stations as a cheap and good way to eat.

RIP Seany...

Have a great time its a stunning place. Try to get to to the viking parliment/althing site, Blue Lagoon, Grunfoss biggest waterfall in europe? gyesyrs, Lanmanaleuger beginning of a great walk down to Thorsmark. Aaaah its endless. Watched a group of Big Beemers trying hard to ford the river at lanmanaleuger nearly twenty years ago whilst laying/drinking/skinydipping in a hot volcanic pool surrounded by snowy mountains and icefields and beautiful scandi women. Half of my rantings are spelt wrong but have a great time. Even the campsite at Havnyafijiordir had a cheap swimming pool with super heated pools. Keep an eye on your lager though or the locals will drink it when your not looking. It was six quid for a half of lager 20 yrs ago AAAAh END

Talking of beautiful views and waterfalls to see over there... if you get a chance get up to the far NW there is a stuffing waterfall there, you'll see it on all the postcards. its a trek to get up there, but it's stunning!

if they are open some of the inland routes are well worth a trek too, found a fabulous little camp site and hot pools, miles from anywhere a real little oasis
