Landmannahellir weekend






























We took a trip to the highlands in a bus and with lots of people from the Red Cross and stayed the weekend at a place called Landmannahellir. It was beautiful weather the whole time – not a cloud in the sky. The tent was up in no time, the team had been practising! From base camp we took a day trip to the hot springs at Landmannalaugur and from there climbed up the nearest mountain, Bláhjukur, so we could enjoy the most outstanding views. We bumped into a wandering British film maker who recorded out triumphal ascent on film. It would be fun if we ever got to see that results.
The weather was warm enough to allow us to go wading in the river and of course there was grill and singing in the evening. It was a really great weekend trip.
