The project runs for eight weeks, with a light walk taking place once a week, every Thursday at five o'clock. In the final week, a longer walk is undertaken with an overnight stay. \u00dati-Hamarinn, which was launched as a pilot project this spring, is starting again this autumn.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Nature experience, empowerment and self-empowerment<\/h4>\n<p>In spring 2021, the project was launched for the first time and the implementation was conceived as a pilot project.\u00a0 Walks were undertaken, for example, to St\u00f3rh\u00f6f\u00f0i, B\u00farfellsgj\u00e1, Reykjadalur, \u00dalfarsfell and Helgafell, with the aim of training for Fimmv\u00f6r\u00f0uh\u00e1ls, which was then walked on 24 June. Attendance at \u00dati-Hamarinn was good and the project was well received.\u00a0 Eleven young people and project staff walked together through Reykjadalur in wonderful weather this summer. Five people walked over Fimmv\u00f6r\u00f0uh\u00e1ls. The walk was an outstanding success, leaving a feeling of accomplishment and joy with all participants. \u00dati-Hamarinn works according to a philosophy of nature experience, empowerment and self-strengthening. At the same time, the project is a platform for introducing young people to the great outdoors. Many people are interested and curious but don't know what it takes to get started with outdoor activities, or are not aware of the routes and opportunities available. Everything is done to keep costs down, and the only thing required to take part is to turn up.<\/p>\n<h4>Resumes on Thursday, 9th September<\/h4>\n<p>Outdoor Hammer returns for the autumn on Thursday, 9th September at five o'clock, when we will meet at the Hammer. All interested are encouraged to attend, whether for health and wellbeing or for socialising.
