Question Anyone see the Iceland 4WD break on Pulling Power last night??

A guy on there went on a 4 day break to Iceland, where you spend time on a 'white out' glacier, rough terrain (like the face of the moon), through rivers and such like.

Trouble is they didn't say anything about the company who ran it, I've looked at the P.P website and there's nothing on there either.

Just wondered if anyone knows anything about this as I've fancied going to Iceland for sometime and to do this tour looks great fun.

The show was on ITV1 in London, dunno if it was country wide

Its only a London region program I believe.

I caught the last 2 mins of it and it did indeed look cool

Shame the guy driving is such a paper hat

Phil,

He is indeed a driller (i.e a boring tool ).

How about a Halfway House meet tour to Reykjavik??

Question

We got the programme in Shropshire (Central TV region), and I think I have seen an advertisement for the Iceland tours in on of the Off Road magazines in W H Smith (sorry cannot remember which one).

I think one of the Channel 4 prgrammes did a very similar trip some years ago. I seem to recall the can inflate a flat tyre on the 4x4s using a butane canister + lighter - very dangerous but very clever (inflates massive tyres in the blink of an eye).

Didn't see the programme but I can highly recommend a trip to Iceland if you like big scenery. Highest waterfall in Europe, most powerful waterfall in Europe, biggest glacier in Europe, biggest gravel rally stage in Europe (also called Route 1, Iceland's ringroad )

Never got to drive on a glacier. Expensive machines required and it costs a fair wad. If you go, wait until at least mid July as the interior roads don't open until then. I went towards end of June and so never got to drive my hired 4x4 on the interior roads
