Ill be taking my G4 D3 with me ! I would also welcome anyone who would like to join ... Ill be camping mostly and the aim is to do some cross country F tracks .... some biking ... gentle hikes, swimming in some of the hotpools and plenty of fotos! :w00t: plan is to leave denmark 17 June and spend a few days in the Faeroes then onto Iceland returning 2 weeks later on the 3 Jul :smooooth: rgds Simon *G4OC Committee Member - Marketing Officer* D-GG-406 (BN55 WPR) Bolivia Stage 3-4 G4 D3 - Team Germany "Home of the Wopper!"

Safaris are an Icelandic company who organise the type of tour you are looking to do, it may be worth taking a look at their website to get some ideas, below is a link to some of their maps, I hope this helps you and we'll chat more tomorrow. http://www.safaris.is/maps.htm Kim :D ___________________________________________ Kim (Born to shop.... :P) Allsebrook (aka willowkis) I've been Tango'd G4 110 - BV55 ZBU - Now registered as K1 CAA Vehicle No. 112 Set-Up & Logistics Thailand & Laos

LRE are out again with them during June this year so you may see some shiny new LR's about during your trip! Have fun.. A Silver G4... Best of both worlds?! Roll on Mongolia! Oh boll0cks, no Mongolia, might have to get a proper job...

Keep an eye out for these Arctic Terns in the breeding season they get a bit aggresive if you get too close. 2005 G4 Defender Please click on the link below to view my gallery. http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=579125

Would always like to go as the geology is amazing :) And the orange against the grey rock would be a fantastic contrast for pictures :D FFRR 2003 and 64 Series 2a http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/index.html http://www.poppy.org.uk/[font=Arial][/font][font=Arial][/font]
