Iceland by Africa Twin
Hi folks,
I've been a member for a few years now, but this is my first post.
I jumped on my bike this summer and headed to Norway then ended up going to Iceland too. I just wrote out a blog of the first part of the Iceland trip complete with a few 360 degree panoramic photos.

I'll get around to part 2 at some point soon.

I finally got around to writing a bit more about my trip to Iceland, even managed to included a few more 360 photos too!
Originally I had thought part 2 would be the last part, but it looked a bit too long to post as 1, so I'll do part 3 and maybe even part 4 some time soonish.

Hi All,
I've finally finished part 3 where I fitted my offroad tyres headed inland to the remote interior of Iceland. I had to ride my Africa Twin into a 70cm deep freezing cold river, the water from which was part of one of the biggest glacier in Europe only a few days before. I was later told that this river has a habit of drowning 4x4s.
I also managed to get a few more 360 panoramic photos too.
