Sprengisandur Route opening
Hi all,
I've managed to persuaded my teenage sons to join me on a little trip around Iceland. No bike which is a shame because there are 3 of us, but we are renting an F road 4*4 and camping where ever possilbe because we haven't a lot of money and medical neeeds mean when we get to the end of the day, we have to stop!
We're planning to take the Sprengisandur route across the highlands with a few detours to see some sights and after reading the guidebook, I note it saying it opens from July. We are arriving 5th July. I'd rather not find that because of a long winter, it is closed.
Has anyone any experience? is the guide book right and am I likely to get a much better chance if I put the trip back one week?
Also, anything we really need to see on the way. We'll be taking our time.
Cheers for any advice
Dave
