Title: Kamchatka vids and News from Norway!
Date: 05/05/2009
News from Norway!
But first, Seb’s new Kamchatka video’s are now on line on my blog site (I couldn't get them to work here?).
On my previous post (30th April) there's 'Kamchatka, the wild, wild, East' featuring the whole team from the first few days.
Then on my latest post today 5th May there's 'Kamchatka, Neil episode 2' featuring me riding from the last few days.
There's then one more to come so I'll put that on my next post.
Check them out here -mcnabsnowboarding.blo gspot.com/
But now here's the latest from Norway!
BC Voyager Lyngen Alps project. Norway.
Lee in the land of the mid night sun.
On Saturday evening we arrived at the Lyngen Lodge situated in the Northern Fjords of Norway some 500km inside the Arctic circle. We arrived to mild temperatures and sunny skies and the views that first evening were simply breathtaking.
The weather wasn’t to hold though and Sunday was wet and rainy. We opted for a fishing trip out in the Lyngen Fjord just in-front of the lodge where I proceeded to catch the biggest fish I have ever seen (check photo). At first I thought I’d caught the bottom, then I thought it must be a shark, but alas it was only a massive gigantic cod!
Obviously I won the fishing comp with this catch!
Getting ready by the 'Lyngen Lodge' Boat.
Monday turned out nice with blue skies and again quite mild. We took the ‘Sprit of Lyngen’ (the Lyngen Lodge boat) up the fjord to hike and ride a peak called Kjelvagtinden (don’t ask me how to pronounce it). At 1034m from a sea level start over 3.5km of ascent this was to be our opening climb of the trip and everyone handled it well in 3 and a half hours.
Carl, Nic, Dave and Pete on the way up
Kjelvagtinden.
Carl approahing the summit.
The views en-route were spectacular and the ride down, although over far quicker than the ascent was great fun with new snow at the top and spring snow lower down.
A beach finish and boat pick up!
We bushwhacked through the lower woodland to come out on a beach a little up the coast from our departure and once again took the “Spirit of Lyngen’ back to the lodge for a relaxing hot tub and sauna session.
Tuesday (today) we hiked up one of the big peaks behind the lodge, some 1260m and did a round trip coming down a big face in the adjacent valley.
Jon, Dave and Nic approaching the summit
today (Tuesday)
Carl getting the goods on the way down.
The hike up was long at 4 and a half hours but the descent was great, really long with good spring snow, some wide open faces, some steeps and then good fun through the trees at the end to finish right at the road by the sea.
The weather looks pretty settled for the next few days and so tomorrow we’ll maybe go North to one of the Islands or across the Fjord to the big mountains opposite the lodge. There’s so much to do here, so much choice and everyone is keen to get the goods so should be good!
Yep! All is fine in the land of the mid night sun!
