Iceland 2018 - Intro Page
Posted by Mark Richardson on Sep 01, 2018
There can't be many outdoor folk for which Iceland is not on their radar, it has certainly been on mine for many years. In September 2018 I tackled Paddy Dillon's suggested 9 day trek in the Landmannalauger region, and was mightily rewarded – Blue skies and Black clouds, hot rivers and cold crossings, volcanoes and steam vents, barren flat landscapes and colourful deep ravines – the contrasts are compelling.

Mark was the founder of Ultralight Outdoor Gear back in 2006 and has completed long distance backpacking routes in some of the remotest parts of the world. His favourite hikes have been Torres del Paine (full circuit), the John Muir trail and the Markha Valley trail (Ladakh, India). Although semi-retired Mark has not lost any enthusiasm for minimalist backpacking and is tackling Scotland’s Munros choosing multi-day backpacking routes over the more usual guide book excursions. |
