Helgeland
This is a district i Northern Norway where the Arctic Circle is passing through. I was leading a group of 10 kayakers for 11 days out on the marvelous waters and among the many islands in the area.Preparations and travel.

Snyggt! Nu blev man allt lite Helgelandssugen igen! :)
ReplyDeleteTack! Det blir nog fler gånger. Vädret tillät oss inte att gå ut till Lovund eller för den delen Traena, så det finns mycket kvar att se. Möjligheten att proviantera ute på öarna gör ju expeditionen väldigt smidig :)
ReplyDeleteja, det ger mersmak. Vädret kan ju variera kraftigt. Vi har haft bäst väder när vi varit där lite senare i augusti. Ja, det är lite kul att det är så nära affärer, man tycker man är i vildmarken men så är det oftast bara ett par timmars paddling till affär och färja :)
