Now since I thought I had a thread about this , witch is not , becouse
I cant find it , then I make this one ,

the Gathering is on , and will be held in South of Iceland .
not far from where all the earthquakes are at the moment :>)
not to worry all be done before next year .

So lots of music made by you and me , and others hope I can have
some Icelandic old dances , old music , rimes , and other folk music
a little travel as well around a great landscape .

so I just need to know how many are coming , not later than late
January / February 2010 , to know how many sleeping spaces I need
and how many for food and such ,. It may well be similar
aranged like the Getaway :>) .

More later .

All the best Skarpi Iceland ........

Lady Penelope, from what I've been told, you are not thick. I found this in the earlier thread linked above:

Maybe somebody could assemble the travel info in one place? I'm not having much luck finding what's available from Scotland. Germanwings have an Edinburgh-Reykjavik flight marked on their map but I can't find it on their schedule. I don't want to have to fly via Norway, England or Germany if I can help it. There used to be regular charter flights bringing Icelanders to Glasgow - do they still operate, and if so can you get on one going the other way?

When does the summer ferry schedule get finalized? If they aren't on the web, do they respond to written enquiries? The ferry from Scotland via the Faroes would be ideal, if it's running.

But without knowing the travel options and costs I can't decide.

Hi Skarpi,

Will that be 30 April - 3 May or 7 May - 10 May? Just to be sure and to check flights, etc.

Thanks,

Richard

Looking up the Icelandair flights from Glasgow, that looks perfectly doable for me and Marion. So, more likely than not. Count me in.

Seems there aren't any direct flights from Glasgow, those are all via Heathrow (URGHH!!! my least favourite airport on earth) and hence take much longer with much more hassle. But it's still cheap enough.

Try these Jack, they say Stansted Gatwick, or Birmingham.
You go from Edinburgh I believe, so we might be able to go down together. I'm north of Inverness.
