A few pics 
from the Sea Kayaking journey just 
completed....
Many thanks to the guys at Njord - kayak and wilderness adventures for the hire of the kayaks and kit, plus a special thanks to Eivend for the use of his SKUK Greenlander Pro 
and the SKUK Explorer for John.
The self-sufficient demanding journey involved wild camping, washing in waterfalls, daily encounters with Porpoise, observing Sea Eagles, Otters, breathtaking views, 248km in total including up to 40km per day!
The team report for the kayaking section plus some of teams pics will go online beginning August on the Norway 2009 page.
We're now heading for the mountains... more pics later :)

and the SKUK Explorer for John.An absolutely superb service which went beyond our expectations, which led to an immensely smooth run on the kayaking. We highly recommend Roger at Njord and hope to host you and Ervin on the Isle of man in the near future. Looking forward to working with you again on our next expedition in Norway.
Thankyou for a smooth flight with Flybe to Captain Nick Davies and for the terrific pic!!

"Sitting in my kayak at 5:30am on the glassy fjord just off our camp... Porpoise surface around me letting out sighs of air as they breathe, a mother and her calf rsing in unison, another larger adult passing them heading the other way, more surfacing further afield...
Low cloud hanging in lazily in clumps below the mountain tops, the absolute stillness and calm...
As the morning awakes fully a gently breeze forms sending shivers across the surface out towards the breadth of the main Sognefjord. It's time we were leaving"

Great to see our friends at Vik Camping who also allow us to use their fantastic facilities as our basecamp between sections of the trip. Always very acommodating and friendly. Thankyou again.
The Adventure Club will be organising a paddling 'holiday' to Norway, visting some of the locations on this expedition, but enjoying far more luxury and more frequent indoor accomodation, with plenty of opportunity to sample the local beverage selection - planned for
summer 2011.
