Re: Iceland phototrip august/september - anyone?

[Pini Vollach <pinimage@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peter,

 

Some years ago (maybe ten…?) I did Iceland trip the same dates.

1.       4WD is recommended.

2.       Eat – I brought a gas stove (bought a balloon in a gas station) and all the other ingredients from Supermarkets or bakeries.
I was cooking my meals outside in nature.
(I ate only once or twice in restaurants.)

3.       Sleeping – It is cold out there! Even in August.  Mountain huts can give you cheap solution but 4WD is needed.  Otherwise tourist information offices will make you reservations to private homes.

Roy – meeting point should be in Reykjavík Airport.

I could post this to my club website in Cary, NC but I'm sure the first question will be where are you going to start from or meet to begin journey?  There are a few younger members to the club but most are older folk. Also a list of the expenses to share might be helpful.

Hi!

 

I tried to write some time ago, but the server turned my msg down. Ok, once more.

 

I am planning a budget photographic trip to Iceland from Aug 24 till Sept 08.

Rental car (2WD - no F-roads), sleeping bag acommodation, meals partly on the road or in location.

 

I have published this here and there to find a travel mate or two, just to share the costs and expenses, but practically no replies. It may be because of my own cumbersome personality (??) or people go out mainly for comfortablilty (??).

 

I decided to try this forum as well, although I haven’t contributed lately. But I promise - ifever I return from Iceland, I will.

 

So this is the question: does anyone know of anyone who would be happy to participate in a round trip on Iceland in august/september this year? I’d like to be out early and late to catch extraordinary light, although middays won’t be excluded either.

 

Please respond either to this forum (bad idea, maybe) or privately (pv@xxxxxx; pvissak@xxxxxxxxxx - much better idea :) ).

 

Kindest regards to everybody!
