A summer of hiking, cooking and campfires… Our pictures from 2021

We have been gathering together our favourite pictures from the team’s adventures last season.

Alongside their completion of more than 170 weeks of trail maintenance and practical conservation work, the teams found time for plenty of hiking and exploring in Thórsmörk and Goðaland and out on the Laugavegur Trail. The pictures were taken by our volunteers and tell the story of their summer.

Here is our 2021 gallery…. https://trailteam.is/2021-volunteer-gallery/

Applications for 2022 placements will open on December 15th and full details will be available on our website; https://trailteam.is/opportunities/

Video from the Laugavegur Trail

Opportunities for hiking have always been an important part of our volunteer programme and our location in Thórsmörk, at the southern end of the Laugavegur Trail, means that many of our volunteers have the opportunity to complete the famous multi-day hike. For many participants, the Laugavegur hike is the highlight of their visit.

Liam Corcoran, one of our talented Trailteam volunteers, made a short video of the experience last summer and we would like to share it with you here…
