This trip had been a long time coming, It seam's an age since we first started talking about it. This trip for me, my first return to Norway in over 6 years, for some of the others in the group, an anual pilgramage and for two guy's, their first visit!
A frantic few days prior to the trip sorting out my brand new Burn - Thanks Pyranha and the day before we left a package arrived at my desk containing Nookie's brand new Assassin Drysuit. All geared up we were finally set...
You've got to make sure your boat's outfitting is sorted!
After packing and repacking the cars in two different cities around the UK we were set, well, almost? Half way to the ferry, Nat remembers he may need his Passport to leave the country, which he's left at home, Doh! Taking it to the wire we eventually board the ferry...
Obviously they dont know us very well, they let us on the Bridge
And let us drive [eeeks!]
And we get to check out the safety precautions!
Landing in Sweden, we made our way up through Norway on our way to the mighty Stor Ula getting a run down the Setninga, a session on the play section of the Sjoa and a high water run of the Amot en route
Arriving late we camp high up at the get in for the Stor Ula
The stunning walk in to the Stor Ula
The Team, R to L Me! G, Tres, Rich, Andy Unfortunately we are missing Nat as his recently broken leg mean he has to give this classic a miss - hopefully next time...
