Thank you all!

As Autumn arrives in Thórsmörk, the time has come to pack our equipment and head home. We would like to thank all the volunteers who joined us this season, for their hard work and support and for doing such a great job out on the trails through rain and shine. It has been a truly special summer.

As we close the Langidalur base camp for another season we are reminded of all those great days on the trails and the nights around the campfire. We hope you all enjoyed your visit and returned home with some good memories of your time with us in the mountains.

Thank you for everything.

Have a good winter and hope to see you next year!

Our Long-term volunteers head home

The first half of our summer ended when our team of long-term volunteers and second group of 2-week volunteers recently completed their projects.

The team gathered for a last evening together at the Langidalur base camp before heading home. We would like to thank everyone who joined us, for their hard work and for coping with all that rain! We hope you are all now adjusting to life back home with dry feet, hot showers and real beds… We miss you all!

Our Long-term volunteers and Laugavegurinn

Just five weeks ago our first long-term volunteer team of the season began their adventures with us in Thórsmörk. Since joining us, they have completed over 60 weeks of repair work on the trails and have definitely left their mark on the place.

In addition to all that work, the team “enjoyed” quite a challenging hike from Landmannalaugar due to the stormy weather. We would like to thank our colleagues and friends at the Ferðafélag Íslands huts along the trail, for looking after our volunteers so well during those stormy days… for the shelter and for their support. It was really good to meet everyone safely back at the Langidalur base camp.

Now we are looking forward to the return of the sunshine as in the group’s final week we are heading north to new project sites close to Emstrur.
