Hi
Modman and I travel out on 06.08.13, back on 15.08.13 in a "couchette" totalling €414 each way. Tried to just book breakfast each day but they seem to insist that you take lunch at €11.00 so just went for that. Came to a total of €872. Only had to pay a €400 deposit, the balance due 30 days before departure. There's a hefty €12.16 credit card fee on the deposit which annoys me as I used a debit card but you can pay the balance by bank transfer.
You're very welcome to join us for the whole trip (not that we necessarily plan to stay together 100% of the time) or maybe just catch you while you're there. We're both on F800GS'.
I'm looking at proposing to Modman heading north-west round the 'ring' then south across the interior, down the Kjoler Route (35) to Hveravellir, Gulfoss and Geysir, spending some time around Landmannalauger before heading back south round the ring. That's maybe four to five days riding and we have seven so plenty of time for detours further into the interior or chilling either in Reykjavik or somewhere else.
