Hi

We are about to visit Iceland for three months. We will mostly focus on longer hikes. We have been studying the maps and have seen that there are lots of possibilities to choose from. But if we arrive after a long hike in, for example, Landmannalaugar and want to continue hiking from there on, would it be possible to send food parcels there? Or can we give them to a bus driver who is going that way? And how much would it cost? Hope somebody knows something more about this.

Many thanks

My understanding is that parcels are routinely carried by the buses, and therefore that you can get them to take a food parcel for you to somewhere like Landmannalaugar, and I understand people have achieved this. The main issue in this case would be who they would deliver it to and the storage of it until you collected, because there is no "bus station building" or the like at L. So you would have to talk to someone at Landmannalaugar about that, eg the hut operator at www.fi.is

This website gives contact telephone numbers for some of the other huts in the area that the bus may go past, as well as the bus operator. This is the website of the L shop, but they don't seem to have a phone contact for themselves.

This is their phone in Isafjordur but I'm not sure where they are now.
