AKUREYRI TO HVAMMSTANGI DAY 87 402km.

Forgot to buy milk so had my instant coffee and the hit the bricks and rode N to Dalvik a small fishing village then to Siglufjörður where I stopped and had a wholesome vegetable meat soup. Continued on coastline in good sunny wether and no wind to Sauðárkrqkur and took 748 thinking it was the coastal road but it dead ended at a campsite, so went back and got on the 745 coastalroad up to Skagta . Very desolate area and dirt road for about 80kms but farmlands all along the coast with lots of sheep and horses and very few vehicles.

     The famous Icelandic horses.




Was hoping to camp in Blönduós but didn't like the campsite so rode another 45kms in a light drizzle to Hvammstangi to a nice grassed campsite and pitched my tent in the drizzle as quick as I could then bolted to the kitchen lounge building.

Another dehydrated meal was devoured and left at midnight to my penthouse, the wind was howling and the tent was flapping like a loose sail.
