Iceland Summer 2014
 

Currently planning a summer trip to Iceland and just looking for a good heads up on which are the better cross country routes to take, looking for some interesting driving but not too extreme and which won't risk the vehicle too much... plan is ferry in two weeks on the isleand and then back. Proposed route is anti clockwise to Reykjavik, meet the girlfriends at the airport for a weeks travelling, then back to the ferry.

Any recommendations to camp sites or highlights then also please shout up....

If anyone else is planning a trip and want to link up let me know..

Cheers, Josh

Hi Josh,

There are two major pistes north-south, the Kjolur and the Sprengisandur. Both very beautiful and do-able. Camp wild!

Travel safe,

Booking the ferry in time to get a cabin stopped me going in 2013. The ferry operators website is a night mare.

I follow the thread..I'm very interested too. Just to have an idea how is the ferry cost for a 4x4?

High enough to consider fly/vehicle hire, self drive:-

So not exactly a travel report, what this section is for.
