Incredible Iceland - Riding Icelandic Ponies
Support the channel: wilderhope-adventures.myspreadshop.co.uk
While I was a bit disappointed that this was an out and back ride, not a loop, and also wasn't more challenging it was still fun. The horses were lovely and I got enjoy two of them during my ride. The wind didn't ruin anything except for the audio during filming and it was a great experience to ride through some beautiful Icelandic countryside, even if it wasn't mountains.

Support the channel: wilderhope-adventures.myspreadshop.co.uk After whale watching was cancelled due to the wind and access to the volcano was no longer allowed I spent the day exploring some beautiful and unique aspects of Iceland. From black churches to green lakes and red rocks and finally soaking a painful ankle. A nice campsite and a good meal followed our busy day.

Support the channel: wilderhope-adventures.myspreadshop.co.uk I saved Skogafoss for a separate video as the grey gloom on arrival (and the need for dinner and sleep) didn't do much for the vision of the waterfall I really wanted. So I was up at 6am to avoid the crowds and to get an unimpeded view of the cascade. Back to bed for a bit and then a climb back to the top for the rainbows which I wou...

Support the channel: wilderhope-adventures.myspreadshop.co.uk A great night in Emstrur despite the sewage smells between my tent location and the hut (likely from the "eco" toilets into the creek). We started well and cranked out the initial miles. Some great variety across ash fields, raging chasms, lava fields and a massive amount of ups and downs. I hiked most of the day alone, keeping the b...

Lake District Wild Camp at Easedale Tarn

Support the channel: wilderhope-adventures.myspreadshop.co.uk By far the best hike and overnight of the trip I can' fault Easedale Tarn at all.

    Excellent watch. I love it there, yes the car park is small and it's a shame if it's full with all camper vans parked poorly. On the mountain near the waterfall is a plane crash site from the 1940s. Sadly the Canadian crew all died. I've been and filmed 3 of the sites. Really sad to see but moving also. Loving your vids.👍

    Hello dear. Well! You have certainly helped in my decision to 'rearrange' my 12 year old Peugeot hatchback. I've already had to sleep in it for several months last year, alongside my very heavy pollycotton tent so am familiar with its advantages and limitations. Being 5. 1' on one side and 4.11' on the other (got a few Dodgy bits about the body), I am ok to get in and out as I've developed my own little methods for doing things because of the limitations in my joints. So far I've done ok but I want improve my living/sleeping area. Atm, I am in temp accommodation but don't ever want to go back permanently to conventional living and one day hope to have a campervan. Sadly, my lovely air tent is now too big and heavy for me to manage so I shall get a trailer tent instead. There are some very well priced ones out there to fit my car. This will also give me the privacy needed for the essential loo! As for showers there are always the camping and caravan club sites of which I am a member. And of course swimming pools! At nearly 66 and about to draw my state pension, I need to get moving again and be outdoors. I've hid away for the last 6 months so time to hit the road again (hopefully not literally.) But do need to look at converting my car. While the seat fold down good it would give me so much more room with the back ones out. So any suggestions and/or advice from you or your viewers would be most welcome. It's just me. No animals or other humans! 🙋🙏🙂

    That looked awesome fun, I have only ever been on horses a few times in my life, I find them pretty scary creatures tbh (they are so big). I was terrified when the first one I had ever been on decided it was going to do its own thing and run off with me on its back, this has made me wary lol.
