Norway

When we finally arrived in Norway we went straight to Voss. The Levels were low and the Raundalselvi was the only real option. We ran the play run so are new recruits Nick Doran and Paul Browne could get warmed up. Then we went up the valley to have a look at "Nose breaker" we were happy with what we saw even if it had a bit of a hit at the bottom. We decided to have lunch and run the "Train station" section and come back after that to run it. As we headed to the vans we met Paul Byrne coming the other way in his gear, it appears that he got sick of looking at it and maned up, so I grabbed my camera and got changed, Nick did like wise and set up rescue. After carrying up our boats sure it would be bad manners not to!

After getting off the "Train Station" section at dusk the previous evening we were happy to take it easy and have a play session at a friendly hole just outside Voss, which was great for cartwheeling, I think its called the "Flag Hole". We then trucked on to Sjoa.

We started in Sjoa with a run on the Lagen, Rosten section. Then we had a few runs on the Sjoa, Amot Gorge and the Ridderspranget sections.
