Exceeded all expectations

I had never travelled with David before so I was quite indecisive before I booked. David was very good at providing information and answering my many emails before I finally signed up for one of his Arctic Fox tours in Iceland. Before the trip he sent out plenty of useful information about booking flights and accommodation in Reykjavik and about what we would need to take with us. David met the group in Reykjavik and from there we were well looked after - hotels, meals, transfers all arranged for us. The group were a great bunch of people and everyone seemed to get along well with lots of laughs and mutual support. I'm sure that David attracts that sort of person as he sets a lovely, friendly and relaxed tone himself. The accommodation on Hornstrandir was far more comfortable than I expected. We were at Kviar which is warm with a flushing loo and shower. Whilst the kitchen facilities looked basic, the store cupboards are surprisingly well stocked and Justin was able to turn out fantastic food - even baking bread and a cake! The photography experience was beyond anything I had hoped for. There were several foxes in the area. Some we were able to watch on the shore, at a bit of a distance, but some were so confiding they came right up to us. Lots of opportunities for environmental and close up shots. There was enough snow to create some fantastic atmospheric conditions as well. For anyone who found the conditions too much outside it was easy to pop back into the house to warm up and grab a coffee.David was ever present, but never obtrusive. He made it clear he was there to help if wanted, but never imposed. He was encouraging and very knowledgeable about the subject and the location. I came away with images I really like and with new friendships. Excellent trip and I would definitely do it all again. Thank you David, Justin and everyone else on the trip for a memorable week.
