From Akureyri, it is possible to hike beside Route 1 to the town's edge. Rides are more scarce here, since there are fewer long-distance travellers. There is some traffic between the city and villages down side-roads; if someone can only take you to a highway intersection, make sure the village is within walking distance. Weather changes rapidly in Iceland, even more so on the north coast. It's no fun to be stuck out in an arctic blizzard all day, miles from the next town.
Another starting point is to take Bus 15 to Mosfellsbær and walk along Route 1 until you find a suitable spot (See map). Then you don't have to pay the fare to Akranes and you begin closer to Route 1.
