Bergen-Seydisfjorur-Esbjerg was aprox. 6000 NOK. (One bed in a four bed cabin). I believe this is about 600 pounds, but have not checked the exchange rate. This was in 1995. Sorry I got the year wrong in the first mail. But from England it could be better to take a ferry from Scotland to Faroe Islands, and then the Iceland ferry from there. The ferry companys navme is Smyril Line. Main office is in Torshavn, Faroe Islands, tel. +298 15900, Fax +298 15707, according to their brochure. I believe they speak english well. Most people on Faroe Islands and Iceland do.
Yes, it is a lot of "AT roads" in Norway. Both dirt roads and small twisty hard surface roads. Very fun. I think that AT is an ideal bike for Norway.

Hi Jon,
What price were the ferry fares to and from Iceland?
There must be a lot of dirt roads and mountain/fjord roads ideal for the AT in
Norway also??
Best Regards,

I was to Iceland by bike in 1994. Ferry from Bergen, Norway and back to
Esbjerg, Denmark.
It was a very nice trip. I can specially recomend the inside of the country.
Hundreds of km of dirt roads. And on the small 4wd tracks inside the country
there is no bridges where you cross the rivers. Very exciting! I would like to
go back soon (but prefere Greece this summer. Hope to get vacation!).
I think Africa Twin is a good bike for an Iceland trip. A bit heavy for the
most extreme driving, but I did not have any problems at all. And it is long
distances with bad roads. The AT is very comfortable compared to the smaller
600cc offroaders.
If you have the capasity to receive pictures, I can send some pictures, and
maybe some more info.
