Just back from three weeks in Northern Norway, and in the nature for the whole time. It has been much summiting and good flights most of the time, and photographing. Also started on Paraglider at the very beginning stage. Had one week stay at Andøya which is my favorite place up North, and did some…
Ever have I seen the last degree to the North Pole so nice than this year. A group of five of us started off on the last degree to the NorthPole the 6st of April and headed North. This with the best help from the Russian Borneo staff who make this possible for many expeditions…
Two fantastic day home at my family farm and the good old mountain Snytaa. Sometimes hard to start from but with some good will I got two take offs from a new line up there and home for dinner…which I had to make 🙂
It has been a long time since I have been to the Tamokdalen / Tamokvalley. And finally I had the chance to go there again. The weather was promising and spoke to the “King og Tamokdalen”, Aadne Olsrud. He was optimistic, as always, and said I should come. So I did. Had a very nice…
All winter I have had a big wish about going to Andøya again. It is something special with the nature up there. Brutal, spectacular, beautiful, wondering and friendly. Especially the people, concerning friendliness. But the nature is just breathtaking and you can have five winters and five “summers” in one day. And everything is very local.…
Had the joy of visiting Lofoten for two days. A big hope about a summiting and other joy, but the weather put me down to almost just photographing. 70 mm of rain and 20 m/s wind kept me low. However weather and Lofoten is the thing! And had a very nice experience. Had two nights…
December was almost without snow, but the New Year gave something and have enjoyed the little snow before it has melted away again. Got my first speed ride flight some days ago and hope the winter will be good on that side. Else it has been training with heavy backpack on ski and without ski…
December has been good in Hell finally. And, my “Christmas Clip” will be a tradition. Have to make a new one soon. Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
November has been a busy month with lectures and travels, but time to get outside there has been opportunities. The days are short now even in Mid-Norway, and you have to hurry out in the morning to have some time in daylight or twilight. Some few mountaintrips without snow, but hard frozen ground. Easy to…
The first month of the Fall is over, and it has been a good month. The colors came. The birds is eager to leave Norway. The Nature is getting more and more quite. Getting ready for the Winter and the resting. Soon the landscape will leave all the colors. The mountains will be dressed in…
The plan was good, and the weather forecast was with me. To try a flight from a very special peak for me. Neådalssnota in Trollheimen. Hoping to fly all the way from the summit to Kaarvatn. It was a nine kilometers flight, on South Easterly wind, my novice head told me that could be good.…
The Ally canoe is made for use, all year around. Both on water and snow, or carried in a backpack. It can take rivers up to grade three…for me. Some experts certainly takes more. 100-150 kg load is not a problem. Have been paddling lots of different rivers in Norway, and have been used on…
It just became the perfect Speedfly day, and the best flight this year. Almost everything was good, except hard to find a exit point up on the mountain. The weather-forecast was ok, but warning about fog up in the mountains. The fog was coming and going. Got joyful 10 minutes flight from 1500 m down…
A summary of some few speed flights on Helgeland area and Troms county. Was wishing to do some more flights, but the weather conditions put it down. Anyhow, I had some good fun close to Svartisen, Sandhornøy and Salangen. Music from Clubroot – Left Hand Path.
First week of August I had the pleasure to join a group of five men from Narvik, to do a 160 km long walk through Hattfjelldal. This valley or area, is a very nice mountain area in Nordland county. Never been there before, and when they asked me earlier this year I could not say…
The summer is still on, and have had three and half week up in Northern Norway on different spots and activity. First week was dedicated to Helgeland coast and mountains. I wanted to get better know to this pearl of nature. Rødøy island was my first goal. Had tried to get there several years but…
Never been on Svartisen glacier, and still have not been there. I was supposed to do a training trip up there in August, with a British adventure man who is planning a polarexpedtion. So on my way up through Helgeland I did a reasearch for a route up on the Eastern side, and not the…

Decided to go for skydiving at Lesja Int airport last weekend. The weather was one reason. The people the other. A small team of about 10 – 14 skydivers where there during the weekend and they had 40 lifts in two days. Due to small airplane it became lots of low level jumps. Anyway, last…
Had some very good days in Lake District or more specific, Buttermeer. The Buttermeer Bash Festival was going on. Why go there? It happened on our way to the South Pole before Christmas last year, Ros, one of the participants, ask me to come and visit them in Lake District. A big Paraglider & Speedrider…
