Slope Soaring / Hvalfjörður, not just a meeting place for shipping convoys

Nobody understand Finnish, not even the Finns themselfs! :lol:
But the answear is most likely no, Finnish and Hungarian are Uralic (along with Estonian) while Icelandic is a North Germanic language.
I can't understand anything a Finn says except maybe Nokia, though it's probably called something like Hääkkeelllipppennenenenesat in their native tounge! :wink:

Went on a road trip today to check out viable flying spots along a part of the old highway #1 that got redunant when we made a small hole under the ocean.
Lot of nice places there that will be flown at a later date when the wind is blowing at them but as luck would have it we managed to check out a place we've
had our eyes on for some time now and the wind was blowing in the right direction for that site!
Suffice to say the conditions there are terrific with a nice large farmland for landing.
We'll undoubtedly be back with something larger! :?:

Looking good Andy! :clap:
Keith you're always welcome for a visit to the warmness of geothermally heated houses, you could even see some Aurora Borealis as a bonus!

Slope Soaring / Hvolsfjall - Just so you don't think it's all rocks and sea!

It's all the earthquakes we have there, they tend to level things out!
There is quite a bit of lava under the soil but after the last "ice age" ~10.000 years ago, this part was largely under water and when the land rose it left a lot of arable soil behind.
Today this is the largest farming area of Iceland.
That wing is quite famous you know!

Glad you like the music Keith, it's by a fellow countryman, Olafur Arnalds, he does a fair bit of composing.
Might have heard some of his work if you've watched series called Broadchurch on the telly.

Ah, yes the blue stuff, I brought some of it from Ireland on my last visit, do you want it back? :twisted:
