Covid-19 made the Greenland Nunatak expedition very exciting this year. We had planned to do the trip in July, but with all the red-zones throughout Europe we were postponing, and hoping we may could do it in August. And, all involved was Green in August periode, with a negativ Covid test. And we just…
The winter in Hell has been on and off each second day. For the first time I could paddle the side river of Stjørdals River called Leksa river wintertime. After several days with storms on the coastline we got a storm flood. And I could tick off a record going up into this river. Have…
November and last part of October gave some good weather and mountaintrips. Few flight down, but some and lots of photographing. Should wish I had more time to be out, but that’s it 🙂 Have been much in Trollheimen area training during November and lots of good experiences and memories! #speedfly#teamwendy#stjørdalfoto#Trollheimen#swing mirage#surnadal#runegjeldnes#nature
October has been visiting and ended, with changing weather conditions. Tried to be in the mountains as much as time has limit. Winter and Autumn has changed from day to day, and like you had winter one day and summer the next. Nice colors and big contrasts, which I do like. Most of the time…
In July, a 23 years old dream came through. Climbing six of the Nunataks we saw when walking Greenland lengthways in 1996. And first assents of them all. Fantastic weather, fantastic team and fantastic experience. Arrived Narsarsuaq airfield on the 13th of July and flew out onto the icecap on 15th of July with four…
Wish everyone a Merry Christmas and an Exciting Happy Good New Year. Thanks to all who have been participating on projects or activities during 2017 and for all good help and support! Rune
In early August I spent three days in Junkerdalen and up in the hillside and summit of Solvågtind. Some really nice days and with a big hope to fly from the summit. That did not happened. Wind directions became wrong and the fog came and went in minutes. Last evening I felt there were a…
Visited the family and the my home mountains last weekend in perfect weather and nice wind conditions. Got three summits, not very high, and could do it without skies. Down in the valley it was blooming and the birdsong was strong. The snow melting made the rivers and the rapids big and loud. A good…
Finally we have stared with the film documentary about the “Operation Musketoon” from WW2. Mid May, Tom Edvindsen, Ronny Bratli, Thomas Adam and I were up in Glomfjord and the surrounding area, to do surveys, and some filming. The whole production and the long walk to Sweden will be done in September. The project is…
Finally got the opportunity to visit Peak Spanstind in Troms. Its about 1400 m and you have a nice skiing up in two and half hour. The weather was just perfect with blue sky, good skiing conditions and not much wind. Lots of other people were on the mountain this weekend too. So, a perfect…
October month has been a busy month and travels. Has been mainly about lectures for oil industry and the military. 14 days in Northern Norway with lots of very strong Northern Lights was the highlight. Just sad I did not bring the tripod for the camera. Been several times up in the mountains but un-luck…
It has become a tradition to join the Midnight-Sun Skydive Boogie at Elvenes airport Northern Norway. And this was one of the goals driving North this summer. At least one week. Meeting good friends and happy skydivers. Most people are coming every year which makes it to a very nice event.
It has been a great winter, and it still is. In Hell area you definitely see and feel that the Spring is on its way at the moment. Anyhow, most of the winter I have been in Northern Norway. It is the part of Norway I like most. The scenery is breathtaking and raw. The…
The Fall has arrived in Hell and the surroundings. The weather has been up and down, but on days with good weather the mountains has been calling. Have been to different spots. The yellow red colors has started to appear. I do really like our seasons in Norway. Gives nice contrasts and gives different beauties.…
A quick visit home to Surnadal and family. Had good fun helping my friend Gudmund with changing the roof of his old farm cabin one of the days. That was a good excuse to bring the wing. After finishing the roof, I went further up to a summit close to Kårvatn Farm. Got a very…
It appears, surprisingly, it has gone 10 years since we did “the reconstruction” of the Amundsen and Scott race to the South Pole. The whole thing ended up in 6 hours programs on BBC and several other channels. I just bought three DVD´s on Amazone, when understanding I did not have the programs, and to…
Had some joyful days in Lofoten together with XXLofoten company, when they arranged a Lofoten weekend for a group of 55 salesmen. My main task was to give them my expedition lecture. XXLofoten was responsible for the whole program, and I had good fun joining on more of the activity after my lecture. In between…
Finally, it was time to check the ice conditions on the Arctic Ocean again. Teamed up with David Hempleman-Adams and 12 other excited and nice teammates, we arrived Longyearbyen on Svalbard where the last preparation where made. Some gear had to be modified and the food shared between everyone. And certainly everyone was enjoying the…
Mid August it was time for some air movements and “sircus”down at Østre Æra airfield. Knew some friends were there and had fun, and wanted the same. Blue skies and people in good mood and lots of happy jumping and good training for more. Last chance for me on Østre Æra this year, but there…
Rune participated on Skydive Elvenes ´14 in July, which is a yearly boogie. Skydivers from all over Norway comes to the old airfield in Salangen where IT happens during two weeks. A Porter Pilatus + two Cessna do the job to get the jumpers up to the right altitude. Rune was there just for some…
