Onward - taking advantage of the good weather

Olly and George are tired but keen to conquer as much of Iceland as possible while the weather is favourable. If it turns then they will have no choice but rest so it is important for them to paddle on when they can.

Last night they crossed Huanafloi - a wide expanse between peninsulas. It was a hard crossing with a very unwelcoming, rocky landing. After having paddled through the night they then had to lug their kayak across the rocks to find a safe place to store her over night and camp to get some much needed (and deserved) sleep.

After a day of resting and eating as well as a brief meeting with the film/support crew they are now taking on another stretch of the North Icelandic coast. A brief call back to the UK informs us that they are well and happy but finding this tough. Hopefully the weather and wind will be in their favour so they manage to get a few easy days under their paddles.
