Hi there. New to reddit here. My wife and I love traveling to new places and seeing the world for its natural beauty. This will be our first vacation outside of Canada and the US. Our vacation style is typically fly in, rent a car, and experience as much of a place as possible. We typically focus our attention on finding unique Air B&Bs and amazing places to hike where we can experience the most of what the landscape has to offer. This is clearly no difficult task in Iceland.
We currently have an Itinerary that involves camping 9 or 10 of the 17 days we are there. We did this as an effort to save a little extra money. We are traveling clockwise around the island. We will me flying in on june 19th and flying out on july 6th.
Now the reason i am here is because we plan to hike the Laugavegur trail July 1st to July 4th. This will be our first ever multiple day backpacking trip while using a tent. We have done a fair amount of research on gear to bring and we will be prepared for weather, river crossings, food, etc. (Tent we are using is the MSR HUBBA HUBBA LT3)
We have done very long 20km day hikes and we believe we are in shape to handle the physical excursion required for the hike.
Although, having never done multi day hiking or camping, we are looking for any potential tips for camping around Iceland (specifically laugavegur).
Are there any tricks that you recommend we learn prior to going?
Is there any information about hiking and camping in iceland that you feel we should definitely know?
