Landed back in blightey on Monday morning....
Wow! What an experience!
When I get myself back together I shall post some pics. It's just knowing where to start with them all.
If you ever get the opportunity, take yourself to iceland. Some of the most spectacular scenery I have ever seen and the people are very friendly.
What a hoot we had!

Hi- being reading your topic with great interest. Just decided it`s time to take this a bit further and have a go at a car based journey. We`ve two kids aged 4 and 6 and a few companies at billing were willing to take them, whilst some seamt less enthusiastic. Did you go with a travel company? What tents did you use? \trying to oprganise one for next summer but we`re not sure how much stuff we will need as we are regular campers. Any advice especially on stockists or companies greatly appreciated. Great to hear you had a fanastic time. Cheers Kevin

We were in Iceland in July with Simon, you don't need to go with a travel company, would advise teaming up with another vehicle if driving some of the more challenging routes. Meeting up with the Iceland Land Rover club was a good way of finding the best routes. (see www.islandrover.is) From a vehicle perspective we had more problems arising from the corrugated roads shaking electrics apart than from any extreme offroading/rivers.
We took a 90 and a 110. In our 90 managed to fit all our camping stuff plus 2 mountain bikes! We took one big tent that we could cook/eat in and a couple of smaller ones for when it was really windy! It was cold in the evenings but the rain wasn't that bad! We ran a petrol powered stove and managed to buy food locally. Beer and wine is silly money so you need to take your full allowance. Only allowed 3kg of food each otherwise you get fined.
Awesome place though, friendly people, only problem is greenlaning in the UK will never be the same! Driving 70-80 mile long offroad tracks is excellent.
Will sort some photos out shortly
