Update 17:00 20/5/10 I've heard back from Finnature, we should be OK to postpone our reservations at the 2 centres should we be delayed for 1-2 days, we simply go out 1-2 days later and return 1-2 days later. The latest wind forecasts show SW winds which are carrying the ash cloud away from Western Europe, so thus far we should be unaffected.

Update 15:00 17/5/10 As I write the volcano in Iceland Eyjafjallajokull has erupted and ash is covering parts of the UK, which means flight disruption in the UK. Below the latest info I have. At the moment everything is still on and we go as planned on Monday morning at 04:00

Flights- Having spoken to Finnair today, they will be able to confirm the flights as go/ no go only on Sunday. If the flight is canceled we can either have a refund or re-book, given we are booked with Finnature, if the flight is canceled, then I suggest we cancel the trip for a full refund. This depends whether we will be charged by Finnature. If they want to charge us then I suggest we go ahead even if we are delayed for a day or two.

Hire Vehicles- I've contacted our hire car people and if we have to cancel with less than 48hrs before collection because of the volcano there is £25 charge only.

Finnature- I've emailed them to see how we proceed if we are delayed or canceled. Am waiting to hear back from them.
