Ah that's good, thought you might run into a problem with them. Might look then at doing a wee stint in Norway for my 40th, I take it you'd recommend it?

 

[Twodogs]

StJon

 

[Paul72]

Thanks mate, I think I'll definitely look into doing that!

 

[zeBarOOn]

Pretty envious of that trip! Well done mate, cheers for sharing.

How come you had to keep 'low-key' on the last night? No tent etc?

Cheers

Nice one Cliff. Glad you had a good trip. Ill try and come up this week so we can have another chat if you like?

 

[Twodogs]

Thanks for the comments Gents , Dave no problem mate ,

Jervens bags are an odd bit of kit as there totaly waterproof with a thermal lining but it means that in total wet conditions you can throw it on the deck and be dry and warm ,
loads of different models some lined some not and differnt shapes

Love the lichen style sheet, where did you purchase that from.

Great trip, good photos & another thread inspiring me to get to Scandenavia this year.

I am after one of those kettles, in large preferably, but have been quoted £40 delivery + custom's fees to get one sent here. Maybe going out there to get one is the answer, as I have seen you can get them at XXL(?). Someone, maybe you mentioned they bought one in a good camping shop in Oslo? I want the big one for meets but like the idea of the medium on as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Excellent trip Cliff and shows what can be done on the cheap.

Norway is certainly on the 'to-do' list.

Doc, I know what you mean, cheaper than a weekend on the booze.

I need to return there myself.

Thanks for sharing your trip with us, Cliff! You had some beautiful waterside camping spots. Any idea what all the trophies / cups were for (how won), in the lodge? I like your gear what you selected. All in all, a fairly minimal set up for the length of time out, nice! Other than the birds, did you see any other wildlife? The foodstuff layout is neat. Are those the Yorkie bars labeled "not for armchair bushcrafters"?

Hello Gordy, thanks for the comments and the UCO Micro worked a treat , Cheers ..
The trophies were all for winter sking as far as I can see ,there was loads of birds and some creepy critters but my photo skill arnt up for it bit more practice for next time me thinks .

As for the yorkies there ex-rat pack and have " not for civies " on them , Not for armchair bushcrafters bad man
all the best
