Iceland Packraft Expedition 2018 - There And Pack Again
About Iceland Packraft Expedition 2018 - There And Pack Again
In June 2018 we are going to complete a round-trip expedition in the Icelandic Highlands. Our adventure begins at Lake Langisjór, one of Iceland’s largest natural lakes. We will then head onwards by packraft and on foot towards the Vatnajokull Ice Cap.

We've been converted! Goodbye kayaking, hello packrafts!
Today was our first Packrafting experience, and it was awesome. A massive thank you to Andy Toop at Backcountry.Scot for our Packrafting 101 day of learning. We love the Alpacka Raft boats and can't wait for our micro adventure with them next week.
Thanks Andy!!... #packrafts #backcountry #thinkuhi #thereandpackagain #iceland

One does not simply have a team meeting without trying to pronounce Icelandic place names...kirkjubæjubjub?!
So... who actually are we? Have a look at our 'Meet the Team' section to find out... More professional bio's will probably appear at some point but for now they exist for your entertainment.
