Right from the start of organising this trip I knew Liam and Jon were unable to get enough time away for the full two weeks, we were almost at the point of no return so the following morning packed their wet gear up and headed towards Reykjavik ..... no doubt with some well earned fine dining and wining along the way
Now we are four ....for now.
Dodging showers we take to the tarmac in and out of the northerly fjords
Stopping of at the only place along this empty coast line
In the warm attic we wait with coffee for.......
..... waffles, homemade jam and oh the luxury of squirty cream
and toasted sandwiches all made by a lovely German couple
We need to get some trails in so head up high again
Steve and Dave peel off for the road much further down as I suggest Stuart and I finish it to the end over a deceptively tricky and unused rocky section. I was on the limit with my loaded bike and for the second year running wondering why I do this to myself .... but actually I do know
We make camp in a lovely town, the following days forecast is very poor and we still have a great ride to complete which needs to be ridden in good conditions ........ ie. today!
So our day isn't over yet by a long way......
