The most common cause of accidents on icelandic roads is the wind - it can be so strong, vehicles simply get blown off.

After completing the tourist “The Golden Circle “ we came across our fi rst close up of the notorious icelandic off road-ers, who were just re infl ating their tyres after a trip onto a glacier. Enquiring how the day had gone, one driver replied “ Yah, today is a good day on the glacier......nobody gets lost”.

Even in this inhospitable land the seed of something special managed to take root and push through.

There are twenty to thirty regular surfers, fifteen to twenty that do it all year long. There are probably three more guys our age and a couple of guys younger than us - not much more
