Day 1 - Landmannalaugar to Hrafntinnusker

The first leg of the Laugavegur Trek brings you from Landmannalaugur to a hut at Hrafntinnusker. Given its altitude, the weather in Hrafntinnusker is not always pleasant, meaning that several hikers choose to continue onwards to the next campsite at Alfavatn. Despite the cold and snow, we had planned for a leisurely 10 days of trekking, allowing us to arrive in Hrafntinnusker by lunch time to set up camp and enjoy the few hours of sun before the bad weather set in.
