Some pics from last weekends trip up into the mountains , On friday we drove the easiest track to the mountain hut Setur. The friday trip was 160 km and took about 8 hours. On the Saturday we took a short trip to Kerlingafjöll huts , About 30km in rough terrain , that trip took about 5 hours , after that there was a bbq and fun at the Setur hut ,On the Sunday was the go back home day. Me and guys on 5 trucks decided to take the hardest and highest trail home . The trails highest spot is at 960m.

Sweet man, looked like a fun weekend! I've been eagerly awaiting your trip reports now that winter is here. Can't wait to see some more, the landscape is beautiful, and those trucks are awesome! Looks like that TDI is working out pretty good for you.

 

Would so love to come out and play out their. Iceland looks so freakin gorgeous

 

KILLER PICS AND VIDEOS MAN!

Looks like a blast!

 

BRING ON THE SNOW. alot of pictures. i love it. great seeing the other rigs as well

 

All great rigs playing in the winter wonderland. Awesome!

 

why don't you use mattrax? I'm no expert but am curious.

 

they would need alot of maxtrax. from my experienced with them in the sand, they tend to get shot down deep in the sand if hit just right, i had to dig them out lol. i bet its the same with the snow

 

dang hjalti... brother you better post up some of those pics for next year's calendar contest you could seriously win the thing... looks like it was an amazing trip... hard to fathom it took 3 hrs to go up a 950m (2850') hill... snow or not... and driving together in row with nothing but a gps nav system to guide you... around here folks have learned [hopefully] not to trust them... you might end up on an unmaintained fire road... or worse.

 

You cant drive on mattrax on city streets.. All of those trucks are daily driven

 

I use computer with highly accurate data and i use contours lines and have older tracks from other offroaders to follow. We never follow roads when we drive on snow.

those are all tracks from other trips and people

 

You have lots and lots of waypoints I see... still pretty wild to follow each other when you can't see each other...
I guess if one of you says "Stop!" you all do right away so you don't get too seperated or run into the back of each other.

By the way don't forget to check out the calendar. fwiw you got May.

 

Thats great !
