Then headed to Askja Lake on F901 and stopped at a campsite to enquire about the road and river conditions and the guy advised me not to go, very difficult with a lot of sand. So turned around and went back to Myvatn Lake campsite. When I was at the supermarket buying matches I bumped into the young French guy I met on the ferry and has the same bile as mine and had just got back from Askja Lake. Glad I listened and decided not to go cause he said it was brutal 10-10 difficulty and fell in the thick sand and the river crossing was up to his hips and all his gear was wet. The rivers were very difficult he emphasized and he didn't have enough fuel and had to get some from a motorist, that was weird that he ran short, it's 100km road from the highway to the lake.
The campground is all grass with great facilities, except the 500ml beer is €11. So the guy that had his bike next to mine on the ferry was also there and he rode into town and grabbed a 6 pack for €11 but basically carbonated water but was good to hydrate.Went to bed afyer midnight and it was still light outside, so weird it never gets dark.
