waypoint
Vonarskard ?
From the Nyidalur region, I had two options for a southerly route. (1) Follow Jonathan Ley’s route, which hugs the west-northwest edge of Vetnajokull and which is more scenic than the other option. I would have gone this way if I had bypassed Nyidalur and climbed over Vonarskard instead. Or (2) hike south-southwest along F26/Sprengisandur Route, sometimes directly on it and other times close to it on cross-country shortcuts or on parallel primitive tracks. Since this was my most direct route (recall, I had stopped at Nyidalur) and since I suddenly needed to make a 100-mile detour, I went this way. Regardless of the route I chose, I would have eventually reached F32 via F26. About 10 miles east of the bridge, back on F26, I passed Hrauneyjar, an outpost with bathrooms, a nice café, and a small selection of snacks like candy bars, chocolate, cookies, and chips.
