Three Men Go To Iceland - The computer game

Looks like somone has already written the video game based on our trip. (http://www.bikingviking.com/). But who is based on who?

Heimdall "has to blow into his horn the moment he suspects Ragnarök (aka the end of the world) is happening". That must be Gray - Sax / Horn  - same thing really.

Leif Ericson's eternal quest for Vineland means this must be based on Steve (and his eternal quest of Majestic Wines best Malbec)

 So Jack?

Loki - the mischief maker and son of giants?

Or Thor - always fighting the ice giants and weilding his mighty hammer!

Kittastic #1 - Sidi Adventure Boots

The Triumph road boots did Route 66 and Patagonia, but for proper adventures you need something gnarly. I had some Alpinestar Tech 3 MotoX boots for an off-road course but they were pretty uncompromising, not waterproof and and walking in them was like wearing ski-boots. Fine for a course, no good for a long trip.

Adventure Bike Rider tested a load of "Adventure" boots and reckoned the Sidi's were the top. Vibram soles, Goretex lined, leather. Mmmmm, smell the tech. So I got some.

 (Thanks Ian for buying the Tech3s off me - Enjoy the course)

On- and Off-Road. Has to be a Gelande Strasse.

Biking Viking have confirmed that we have 3 G650GS bikes booked for the trip. The review in the paper when they came out was 5 star.

I had a look at one in Oxford BMW this weekend. Loooks like the glacier's growlers to me.
