Iceland 2010 ... cancelled

Unfortunately the proposed workshop in Iceland has been cancelled.
The blame lies with the current economic climate which has meant that as more people dropped out the prices kept rising ... dramatically.
The problem with Iceland is that it's always been an expensive place to visit - although my trip in April this year was the cheapest and this was only due to the fact that I managed to find a good deal on vehicle rental.
Vehicle rental is extortionate in Iceland. As an example, to rent a standard 4x4 for 10 days is well in excess of £2500! Add on collision damage waiver, gravel damage waiver and the costs increase even more ... then there's fuel costs too.
Oh well ... looks like Iceland will have to wait a while.
