horace dall
back in the day rather than debating tyre choice or the minutiae of which bike does what best daring sould got their maps out, packed their bags and went out there.
one of those is horace dall who got himself out to iceland back in 1932/33. you can see a slideshow of his pictures and some rather fabulous notes from his trip here. thanks to ben searle for putting this up and it's worth checking out the rest of the site while you're at it, not least to see kelly kettles in action. there's another feature on this at the reykjavik grapevine which is also worth checking out on its own
