As the weather forecast was quite promising for last Thursday it was decided that we should take the chance for an outing and bike the Nonni Trail. Though it was not as sunny as expected weenjoyed the ride by the old road through the countryside away from the main traffic, observing the birds, sheep and horses along the way. Stops were made at points of interests, such asGáseyri and Skipalón and ended with a picnic lunch at Möðruvellir.
