Riders approaching our checkpoint on day3, Langajokull in the background.
For such a small river crossing, the riders made a huge fuss about getting over. Stood on the bank trying to decide which line etc; shoes/socks off, wandering about looking for the shallowest line, shoes/socks back on once feet had been dried properly etc
Somewhat put out when I marched over, suggested(jokingly) that they grow a pair, then marched back again, shoes and all!!! Day2 checkpoint was 20mtrs up the track.
View from in front of checkpoint day1, the other side of Langajokull, hence Glacier360. This was one of the roads I couldn't get down in May as it was still closed, pleased to have got down some of it, even if it was in a Landy! Unfinished business right there.
Will go back and tour the route, or a slightly bastardised version of it, next year over 4 days. July to August I imagine, unless I go back as a volunteer again next year, in which case I will do it during the week prior to the event.
