We decided to take some time off the work at home and take a short riding tour with friends. Luckily there are great places to go very closeby and we have great friends coming with us. 
Bjössi, Ingólfur and me started the ride at Saltvík, each of us with 3 horses as it's a great way to trim all of them and good to change inbetween. On our way to Þeistareykir we met a group of riders with a herd taking a break at Geldingadalur. Think our horses would have loved to turn back home and follow that herd. Sorry, but that wasn't how we planned it. So on we went even over snowfields. At Sæluhús our friend Stefán and his family were waiting for us. After a break we continued our ride over the most beautiful pathes to the Þeistareykir mountainhut where the horses were going to stay overnight. 
The next day we took a ride to the big craters (Stóra Víti and Litla Víti) and from there downhill on soft slopes back to the hut where the horses stayed another night. We rode about 20 km that day.
Today we rode back home, but it was just Bjössi, Ófeigur, Ingólfur and me. The scenery was breathtaking, but the riding path wasn't all the time. I was quite tired afterwards, the horses, too. Anyway it was a great weekendtrip!
