Day 6: West Fjords. Where Land Rovers fear to tread

Big day today. 420km in a loop through the West Fjords (that's the big hand shaped bit sticking out to the left of Iceland).

Winding in and out along the coast until we crossed over the high pass. At the top was this evidence of the last people who tried the route.

A few minutes later the Reykjavik Mountain Bike Club cycled past in the opposite direction and we motored gingerly down the 14% hill they had biked up. These Icelanders are crazy!

A great lunch in an isolated roadside diner and then on to Snaefellsness peninsular. The site of The entrance to the centre of the earth in Jules Verne's masterpiece.
