No Illegal Off Roading Done! Promise! :-)
Not a kill joy at all grizzly, that was one thing I wrote in the book, you dont need to do offroading because the sanctioned roads in the interior are off road enough! To seek out extra off roading is disrespectful because it takes forever for the landscape to repair itself. With roads like that one why would you even bother except to be completely selfish?
That picture is from an abandoned track, but still within the wooden pegs that marked it as a once cared for track. We were on the way to the Kverkfjöll ice caves in (just past Askja) and we did not have a gps. We followed the wrong road and ended up on that road which I nicknamed the road of death. 10 minutes past that road is a sign welcoming you to another area of the national park. Not an easy ride, but one of the most spectacular rides we have done in Iceland.
