The map I used to plot my route from Husavik and finishing in Vik.
Mostly side trails and Highland F-Roads, the main obstacle being plenty of river crossings ranging from ankle to waist deep depending on what the ice melt from Vatnajökull Glacier is like

#DaysToGo 77 #Dogs4TheDisabled #CrossingIceland Some minor adjustments to bring my day forward by a day because of transportation to the start point but tickets are bought ( @pandamom.bsky.social cracked the whip)
Just some gear and food to order.
Huge thanks again to everyone for the support!!

Have to say a big thanks to @tisiphone.bsky.social and @leftynavyseal.bsky.social for their donation to #Dogs4TheDisabled.
90 days to go!

Rapidly approaching the start date for a return to Iceland for the 475km solo from Húsavík and finishing in Vik.

Sorting out food & kit for the 21 days trek (new Crocs...something more colourful, the Disney Evil Queen Siren does come in a 44!!).

Another lunchtime 10k done, another 12kg (26lbs) left to loose before Iceland (don't worry @mac-actual.bsky.social I'll still be cuddly)

190 days to go, now that it’s cooled down here it’s back to outdoor training.

I don’t usually do a lot about gear but the New Balance Hierro V9 is awesome.

I’ve put about 470kms on this pair already & probably another 200 this month, seriously comfortable shoe.

Getting ready to go again, next year in June I’m planning a 450km (280 miles) solo from Húsavík to Dyrhólaey in aid of Irish Dogs for the Disabled.
