The Iceland Experience

In Brief            The Amazing North Iceland Cycling Adventure  Saturday 27th June – Sunday 5th July 2009 Places going fast -phone Jonathan on 01923 350258 or 07770 647319     For detailed Itinerary   Click Here  Iceland hosts some of Europe's greatest wilderness areas, which are home to active volcanoes, sheer granite mountains, glaciers, thundering waterfalls, steaming lava fields, plunging fjords, boiling mud pools and spouting geysers.  Many naturalists describe it as one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World.  In fact today, 20 million years after Iceland was formed from an eruption beneath the ocean, it is one of the most volcanically active spots on Earth.   Few areas in the world offer such exhilarating natural beauty and awe-inspiring scenery as that in Northern Iceland. The diversity of the mountain landscape with its volcanoes and lava fields, vast black deserts and then just over a ridge strongly contrasting lush oases, waterfalls, massive rivers and canyons and of course hot springs and fumeroles are sights rarely encountered together anywhere else on earth. This is the stunning terrain that our week long cycling adventure will explore.    Most striking of all is the sheer vastness of space with far reaching visibility from the crystal clear northern air and the geological diversity of the multicoloured volcanic rocks. The light is simply perfect for landscape photography.    The Cycling Adventure itself takes place over 5 days and covers all of the most fascinating features of North Iceland. The route is a mix of on and off-road cycling, and will also include short treks to amazing natural features which are otherwise inaccessible. The ride and treks may be challenging but never technically difficult with only a few steep climbs and the occasional scramble and possible walking across snow fields. Both cycling and trekking will be well within the capabilities of any reasonably fit person who has undertaken some regular cycling training in the two months preceding the ride. Previous experience of off-road cycling is unnecessary.    Note  The price (fully inclusive except for Insurance) for this once in a lifetime Cycling Adventure is £1800pp for a group of 10 in 2 4WD long wheelbased landrovers.   For detailed Itinerary   Click Here   Ride Dates   Saturday  June 27th to Sunday  July 5th 2009   Register by   28th February 2009   Duration   9 days, 8 nights including 5 days cycling and trekking    Distance  Up to 60 miles cycling/day both on and off road and up to 10km trekking per day  Up to 1500m (5000ft) elevation gain per day    Ride Level Level 3 -Challenging Support  Tour leader, local guide, mobile food kitchen,  driver/mechanic   Price    £1800 (£300 deposit) -fully inclusive ex insurance    Price includes:  Good quality mountain bike  Accommodation where possible in good 3*/4* hotels with one mountain hostel   All meals   International and Internal flights  Transfers by road           Maps and route notes    Price excludes:  Insurance
