The laavu - first night's accommodation.
My basha - the first, high-profile version with log fire in front. Unfortunately, it was not suitable in rain or with swirling winds and spindrift snow filling every surface!
My basha - the final, low-profile version.

Bloody hell, that made me depressed.
I wish I could have been there... There's a big difference between those who talk
and those who acctually goes up there, learning new stuff for a whole week.
Absolutely brilliant pics, guys! One can almost hear the banter in those photos. 
We expect more reports, stories, pic's and more pic's.

Banter is the word Ivanhoe!
Much more later from me but I must say, these are some of the nicest Cats I have met!
Some of the hardest and yet funniest bushcrafting I have ever done!
And Woody, our instructor and 'The Boss ' is second to none.

Hi guys, got back last night, bags still in Oslo but I should get them in a few days.
Thanks to all involved from the B.E team to the guys on the course. A great trip that I will remember for many years I am sure.
I will try to get my pictures up at the weekend with a full trip report as well.
Glad to be home but sad not to still be there.
