Iceland has been calling us for years and finally we set out to explore. From the airport down south we cycle upwards to the remote northern Westfjords. Immediately the landscape is captivating and adventurous, with fields of lava and volcanos. The fjords are big, otherworldly and we wonder what it would be like to grow up here. Maudi celebrates her birthday in the backcountry and we get a big scare when have to cycle a bit of the ring road we were desperately trying to avoid!

Iceland has been calling us for years and finally we set out to explore. It totally lived up to the hype. Wild, barren, windswept and moody. A different kind of beauty than any other place we toured before. We hope you will enjoy this new series! Let us know what you think about it? Thanks & Have a great day, E&M

Edward Hathway of Hiking Scenery writes ยป
In the year since the New Zealand Covid-19 lockdown ended in late April 2020 I completed 72 hikes (โtrampsโ in the NZ vernacular), and fifteen shorter walks. Of the 72 hikes 68 were new to me (I had done one before, and I repeated just three). I will explain how I came to do so many walks in a moment. But first, and in order to show off a bit, I will regale you with a few statistics:
ยป 68,500m (~225,000ft) of ascent and descent
ยป Almost 900km (~550mi) of walking
ยป On 64 of these hikes I climbed to a peak or other high point, ranging between 445m and 2333m high, and averaging 1000m of ascent and descent each time
ยป 58 of these high points were named peaks over 1000m of elevation, so I incidentally completed the 52 Peaks Challenge
ยป All of these tramps were on New Zealandโs South Island, and completed as day-walks; I did all but three of them with my wife Sophia (& she did an overnighter I didnโt do)
