A wonderful time ..
Join the
GOP-Course
and become self-reliant!
When you decide to take up 4x4-driving there are many things to be considered. The car costs a heap of money and may be badly damaged if wrongly handled or stuck in a bad spot or a river. If you are not accustomed to driving on gravel-roads you simply must get some advice to be prepared. Many an accident has occurred in situations where sudden obstacles present themselves dangerously near the moving car. On vacation everything has to succeed. It must become a wonderful time for you and everyone in your company. To make it a success you should take your time for a short and effective course - a GOP-course.

The stoneman ..
In a one-day-trip the plan is packed to get the feelings of tracks and open rivers and yet be back at the hotel in the evening.
When there are more days for the excursion the schedule is more lenient. The way may go partly around the island and partly into the highland visiting attractive places as well as practicing in negotioating tracks and open rivers.
* 
Tracks may have little in common - even if all are passable. The Icelandic highland offers lava and gravel, deserts, snow in high places and glaciers on top.
rivers
.. and crossings
* 
The rivers are studied methodically and participants are trained in wading and analysing the factors that affect the possible crossing.
In wintertime the snow and ice are sure to provide for unexpected factors.
