A bona fide star then (thumbs) (thumbs) (thumbs)

However, I would point out that Spud promised me his Tigger if he didn't come back, so next time, "Cut the Rope"! :whistle:

Some more helpers on an earlier trip

Great pics Guys, thank you.

Out of interest, what is the surface like on the river crossings?

I remember reading a spy novel by Desmond Bagley in the 70's which described a trip across Iceland in a Land Rover, one thing I do recall from it was to cross glacial streams, first thing in the morning!

The river beds are different some smooth rock, some have big rocks in the bottom and some small pebbles.
It's not so much the depth that catches you out, it is the strong fast current pushing the side of the bike.
Yes it is better to cross the glacial rivers in the morning.
This year we took 25 bikes on two trips from Spuds 350,690,990 upto Hp2's and 1200 GSA's only had 1 drowned Hp2

Stirred my interest enough to go looking for the book and remember the Beeb did a 3 parter back in 1979!

Cold War thriller, dated but still watchable
