Becky, you have all of my admiration and respect for demonstrating the courage and fortitude to not only undertake this trip, but to put yourself "out there" for us. Your frankness in sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings show your true grit. Can I wish for a helmet cam to catch the water/terrain challenges? Always hopeful, Jerry 😅😮❤

[@starsoldier3643]

Humm, as an old Marine. Your fortitude is admirable. You have the guts of a service woman. God bless the brave.

[@iddet8867]

I am a 70-year-old Icelander, and I enjoyed traveling with you and seeing my country through your eyes. I walked my first and only highland trip this summer, the so-called Laugavegur trail, from Landmannalaugar to Þórsmörk. It was a challenge for an old man, but I turned out to be in fine shape. Thanks for this great video.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Absolutely brilliant, or should I say RESILIENT! Take a bow lady. Really well filmed in tough conditions. A real role model for today’s youth! 👏👏

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you so so much! I hope you guys are well 😊🙏

[@Luigi13]

I wonder how the parents feel? Would be nice to hear their point of view. It is always easy to respond to a person online who films it and you know, there are also those who went silent afterwards it was a tragedy. But we all like to hear of tragic events and how we all came through!

[@manjunathmnm]

​@@GirlOutdoorsLooks so similar to Kazakhstan.. which is more big than Iceland..

[@ChloeRoseHarrison]

Can I just say the biggest thank you to you - I cannot explain how inspiring and empowering it is for me to see another woman around my age doing such bold and epic adventures, and just living her life how she wants. You make me feel as if I can have the same level of adventure if I just keep working at building up my experience, and I would never have even entertained that without watching your videos over the years. This one has inspired me most of all. You kicked absolute ass. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you so so much for this comment Chloe! It has really made my day 🥰 I wish you all the best!!

[@dogstar5572]

I moved from london to a small fjord in Iceland 8 years ago. It’s a beautiful place but it’s so dangerous, the weather is no joke. Well done, true spirit.

[@fatladattheback8642]

I am a 62 year old, former Royal Marine with 25 years service. I have continued to work at sea in sailing ships all round our wonderful world. My partner and I cycle as many miles as we can; nights under canvas, sometimes cycling through the night Your adventures make me think we are not trying. Early in this video you used your own tears to wipe away the volcanic dust. You are as hard as nails! And bloody brilliant!

[@LuLuBeeBah]

All I can say is wow. You are an incredibly strong woman, both mentally and physically, to be able to achieve what you've done. I am blown away by your courage, your fearlessness and your tenacity. Best of luck in all you do.

[@ornleifs]

Fun video - as an Icelander I would never even dream of doing this, this wind and the cold is just to much for me, thankfully we have a lot of hot water in the ground so our homes are warm and cosy.

[@phild6124]

Becky, you are a truly gifted adventurer, cinematographer, and human being. I hope you take us along on many more of your adventures.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aw thank you so so much 😊

[@MatthijsvanSantendeHoog]

What a tough trip, so nice to watch and also: so recognizable! I was also bikepacking in Iceland last summer (for 7 weeks). I know exactly how it feels, all those river crossings, the cold and the rain, the absurdly strong wind. And certainly how happy you can be when you see colors and vegetation again after cycling on the Moon (or Mars) for days. But it's all worth it. Iceland is magical. A primeval landscape that is hard to say goodbye to.

[@michaelspencer8548]

What a trip! Brought back memories and also showed what I should have seen at times in June when i rode it. Glad to see Kistufell still a welcome refuge after it caught fire when I was in it after so much pushing through snow!

[@emz_adventure]

As humans we are so so lucky to be able to see the world no matter where we walk. This was one of the best views of your journey across Iceland 🇮🇸 Becky. Your resilience, your determination and your way of showing us a beautiful adventure. Thank you. And well done. ❤

[@dawn_postureworks]

Iceland truly is a beautiful metaphor for life! After lock down I felt an incredible desire to escape and hired a camper to travel around Iceland on my own. I cried with joy as soon as I arrived and cried at having to leave. What I love about your video is how well you reflected how much Iceland takes a grip of your heart. Beautiful place and lovely people. This is by far your best video for me.

[@cruachan1191]

Well done Becky, great achievement! I love that you always leave your mistakes and failures in and don't gloss over how hard and how dangerous some of these trips can be, along with the high points.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much ! Appreciate it :)

[@maximugg]

Stumbled over your video ... and subscribed. You are a fighter, bravo. Congratulations to your trip and to the wonderful filming, music and very nice sensitive comments. Happy to be joining you in your adventures!

[@Ian-cp3fj]

You have no idea how brave you are...i had 30 years in the forces and id think twice about doing this trip ....much love and respect to you ❤

Thanks so much! Means a lot 🙌

Courageous, fearless, resilient, thoughtful and intelligent -- and absolutely adorable. Great film. (first time viewer here)

[@chrisa21]

Just pure grit (in more than one way). That landscape, your determination & sassy grab life by the neck attitude, a really positive story. I also watched your adventure on the Silk Road. You have earned my total respect - go girl ❤

[@joshlarue2838]

Iceland is a dream bikepacking trip for me! Loved watching you endure what mother nature threw at you. Great job!

[@Pete-r5j]

Battered by the eliments, enduring suffering, wondering if you can make it out in one bit ballenced with the beauty and power of the land, the growing confidence in your ability to adapt and cope, the new experiences and life lessons learnt......bravo......nothing ventured nothing gained. The very esence of life itself x​@@GirlOutdoors

[@friskywildthing]

Iceland is so beautiful and daunting! That'd be a hard ride by motorcycle, on a bicycle-that's insane! My hat's off to you, baby girl. That kind of journey takes stones-BIG stones. Glad you made it back safe. I love your cinematography. I think most people can't appreciate how much work goes into making something like this. 🥰👍❤💯

[@carolehouston3959]

You’re a totally awesome adventurer. Well done Becky. A huge congratulations to taking this trip on solo. So brave and enjoyable content. You must have a guardian angel looking after you. Love to you and hopefully you’re safe and well. Thanks for sharing this story with us all.😁💐🚴🏿‍♀️

Thank you for a great film. I am a native Icelander and loved to experience your adventure. Well done. Love your crafty editing, such a smoth flow and the fact you did not bring out the drone until half way through, brilliant. Best of luck on your future journeys ❤

[@larsstrong3426]

Spectacular achievement! And I see this video as a beautiful work of art. I see you as gifted at being aware of your experience and perceptions, and their implications to the bigger picture of where we are as humans, and then you have the ability to clearly articulate your thoughts and awareness! No surprise you are having the success you are having on KZbin! Thank you! I appreciate you!

[@sarahmaguire2224]

Wow what a superb, beautifully shot and beautifully narrated video Becky ❤ A real pleasure to watch. You’re an absolute warrior 🔥

[@kosayno]

Lol. Walter Mitty is the cause of many people going to Iceland. It certainly was mine. My wife and I and our two teenage kids bikepacked The Ring Road and it was an amazing adventure. Scenery was unbelievable. The people were friendly. We had a family invite us to stay un their farm, feed us and did our laundry. I will definitely go back one day.

[@gearaustralia8767]

This is why I solo hike 🥰 the solitude, silence, the sublime closeness to nature, the physical challenge, the mental and emotional challenge, the planning and problem solving, and then…the indescribable feeling of achievement, thrilling intensity and proximity to danger, and the pure ecstasy of adventure 🙏 well done that is an epic trek and you are incredible 😎🙌

[@uwekammer5724]

Hey young lady, you have my deepest respect for what you did. I visit Iceland when ever it is possible. Last time this year from September until mid of October. The Land takes sometimes so much from you, but it gives much more back. Every visit to this beautiful country teached me so much about life. Respect, sensibility, being careful with the nature. Have many more beautiful trips in keep Island 🇮🇸 in good memory. 😊Uwe

[@Mashmans]

Thank you for taking us on this amazing adventure with you and sharing your thoughts with us. You speak truth. ☺️

[@nrgltwrkr2225]

Wow! That was BRUTAL! You are RESILIENT, STOLID, AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL! I cried with you!! I have only pushed myself physically that hard just once, but I felt just like that at the end of the journey. Emotional, grateful, exhausted beyond belief, many lessons learned about the power and beauty of mother nature, surprised by myself and what I had previously thought my limits were up until that point in my life.These journeys change us forever. I am so proud of you!!! 💞

[@garethbingham8584]

Absolutely love your content after stumbling upon it...the way you narrate your story/emotions whilst on your journey really does offer a unique perspective as a viewer...thank you!!!

[@greybill]

The Icelandic wind is the ultimate challenge. It blows dust into your face. It slows you down to a crawl. It makes rain and snow much worse. It makes you skip destinations. It houls around your tent/car/cabin and keeps you awake at night. Big respect for cycling in these conditions. Also smart to go from north to south.

[@jonretumban8093]

You are one of the amazing women for the courage and dedication you have shown in your journey to such a beautiful and wonderful place.❤👍

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. This was one of the things on my bucket list but after seeing this I no longer feel a need to. The wind in the Netherlands drives me nuts often enough. Much respect to your bravery and taking the action to actually do this, I really enjoyed watching it.

[@kurtjensen7264]

Thank you so much for taking us along with you. You are young and strong and beautiful. You go girl. 💃

In 2019 I cycled the ring road in Iceland. On day 2 as I headed to Vik the wind came up and like you, I had the hardest day ever on a bike. What you achieved here is inspirational and thank you for recording the highs and the lows. All the best in your future adventures 🙂

[@chrischarlton6542]

When others seek inspiration and motivation to set about a new challenge from others... you are "that" person ! I have no idea what what they teach in General Studies at school these days but your videos should be the subject of watch and discuss sessions . Younger students can relate you you more than the can to say an old fart like Bear Grills...Girls especially need direction and ideas with motivation. Just because there could be danger or something might go wrong is not a good enough excuse to not have a go. Your mature decision making demonstrated how you logically worked around such issues. Can't wait for you next outing. You are amazing.

[@forkintherode8236]

I greatly appreciate your determination, toughness and willingness to endure this challenge. Well done and many, many happy trails to you! If you approach life like this as I know you will, what a success you will be.

You are doing so well in this video and you don't even see it! I can't quite comprehend how this would feel like except that I've been in some bad storms living in Kansas City MO in all kinds of weather. Just enjoy your youth as much as possible and man I wish I could have documented my back in the day travels like you now can with youtube. It's crazy what stays with you later and what becomes a blur later on. To imagin your future ancestors viewing this even after your gone. Life flys by! Beautiful video!!!

Beautiful video. I’ve been to Iceland twice, but we had a car, so nothing like your incredible adventure. And just so you know, all water in Iceland, from rivers, glacier runoffs, … is drinkable.

[@knisbet1984]

Awesome video, Becky, and congratulations on your achievement! I did the Iceland Divide, also N-S, with two other friends a month after you did it. Seeing some of the locations that you filmed from was like seeing some old friends. We also battled wind and rain almost every day, got caught in a bad storm and took some damage to our tents when we did a safety stop in the middle of the Highlands. We also went to Landmannalaugar and spent at least two hours in there ourselves (but not before dropping some serious kroner on snacks and beer at the Mountain Mall!) We were dealing with bad weather so we ultimately decided to end our trip in Hvollsolur instead of Vik as we would have been dealing with 50+ mph wind gusts on the Ring Road, which would have been extremely sketchy. Again, kudos to you for committing to this extremely difficult adventure and documenting it so wonderfully!

[@joeclow6563]

Incredible, amazing, a wonderful video and before all, you discribed the very same feelings I had, during my bicycle ride and after I finished my trip through and around Iceland. Had to give up my south-to-north crossing via Sprengisandur at Landmannalaugar due to snowfall, storm and closed roads. So I cycled around the island, avoiding the main road whereever I could. I remember the headwind, forcing me to push my bike even down the road, I remember the crosswind that pushed me away from the road into a lavafield. Great experiences that I don't want to miss.
