As an update to my earlier post, I took 'Option One' and have been in IS for 10 days so far. The Norrona ferry cost for two people plus truck, with en-suite cabins for three legs, was €3000 total. No (expensive) food pre-ordered; don't bother. We just did a supermarket shop in north DK and DIY grazed on-board. There's a fridge in the cabin; take a travel kettle. Faroes recommended for a week; bonkers scenery. In IS it's still 'early' in the season here, so some campsites are only opening today (1 June), and it's not yet busy. Diesel is 312ISK / litre. The campsites are 1500-1800ISK per person, with hot showers sometimes 500 extra. The IS 'Camping Card' is a bargain at €160 (approx) as it gives 28 nights' accom. for two adults (and four kids) at about 40 sites around the country (see their app).

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
