Reykjavík calling… (Skype days for our volunteers)
We are on our way to Langidalur later this week, but before we go we have set aside the next two days to help our teams with their summer planning and preparations.
The teams are now all registered and we would like to invite our volunteers to get in touch with their last minute questions. This can include any questions, concerns or advice needed about any aspect of the placements. This might be about your equipment, tent, camp facilities, travel plans or literally anything else. We will be available on Skype from 09:00 – 21:00 (GMT) throughout Tuesday (tomorrow) and Wednesday. All questions are welcome!
Of course, it is possible to get in touch with us at any time, but once we move up to Thórsmörk and the practical projects get underway, communication can become more complicated. To avoid possible delays, we recommend using this opportunity over the next two days before we set off.
It would be very nice to hear from you. Simply find us on skype during the next two days…
First project of the season completed…
Our search for trails free from snow lead this season’s first volunteer team to Hjálpafoss in Þjorsadalur, where we have been working on Forest Service (Skógrækt ríkisins) trail projects in recent days. Our work included landscaping around the newly built trails at Hjálpafoss and general maintenance tasks there. This project was the first time that our teams have worked away from our home area around Þórsmörk, Goðaland and the Laugavegur, since our programme began three years ago.
We would like to thank the team for joining us, for braving the cold conditions, for their hard work… and for digging the car out of the snow so many times!
Now we are warmed up and ready for the summer!
