Early to bed, I have plain to catch tomorrow.
Be interesting to see if @Kev.s made it - this article says "all access" banned, so assume that implies walking too

From what our tour guide said last week, Iceland's tourist business has just exploded. They are way busier than they've ever been. I guess the infrastructure will lag demand, so for sure decent affordable accommodation will be quite sought after.@Big Andy I had to book for my trip in September in vík last month, earlier than planned, as all the affordable accommodation was selling out/sold out. I was really surprised - maybe if more flexible with dates or budget (or maybe I'm just fussy ) then it's worth a punt in the method you say.
Thanks for the update @Kev.s - fingers crossed still allowed access in September (are the markers for the road still clear or is it so torn up that they aren't?)
Great taster photo
Enjoy the rest of your trip
You need to know roughly where you need to stop but the cars will be a dead give away.
Roughly, we drove 1500 miles, walked 51klms took 2000 images (lots of pano's) and spy shots of the Fast 8 film set
Just blown away even for this our second trip. Great place, will be going again.
Oh as a bit of kit to add to the list, NAVMII a free satnav for iphone's, worked a treat and totally accurate.

Don't be deceived by the size on the picture - they're both big. I use the 5-Series with my 600mm f/4 and 3-Series with my 400 2.8
Ash,
I would definitely take a 70-200 F/4 or similar mate.
A mate of mine who is a full time landscape photographer has just got back and said that his 70-200 was invaluable.
Have a great time, I'm looking forward to reading how you get on! [emoji854]

No need... the 6D has a horizonticalmeter built inHead torch, though the nights will be quite short I guess..
A hotshoe bubble cube is quite handy too.
Enjoy your trip.
