DAY 3 - Ruigh Aiteachain Bothy to Aviemore
From the bothy, you will follow a gravel track, which eventually joins the road. There was a river crossing just before hitting the road, which could be pretty deep, if in spate.

I stopped…

The last section followed mainly gravel tracks along grassy meadows, which was very refreshing. Slowly, signs of life began to appear, with farms popping up along the way.
The last 15 miles (24 km) or so are on the ring road, which had to be the worst part of the trip due to the abundance of cars!

All I can say is this section is insanely beautiful as you cycle through Fjallabak National Park, an area of outstanding beauty!
I got myself a coffee and some snacks from Hòlaskjol hut whilst escaping from the rain – you can camp here if needs be.
I then pushed on until I found a lovely grassy spot

Last day of wilderness, as I hit the first paved road in days.
I left the F26 and took a detour from the original Iceland Divide route, as I desperately wanted to visit Landmannalaguar. I'd had a few recommendations and wanted to try out a hot pot, which was definitely worth it!

I followed the F26, which covers some beautiful terrain, for the whole day. There were views out to the surrounding glaciers, turquoise rivers and just miles and miles of black sand.
There were plenty of 4x4s in the area. The drivers are often very kind, offering water and sweets.
I passed Versalir Hut

This is a beautiful section following 4x4 tracks. If the wind was on my side, I aimed to reach Nyidalur campsite, which roughly marks half way!
You get an amazing view of the glaciers in this area and start seeing signs of life as huge 4x4 vehciles pass by on the F26 road.
The river crossings were brutal
