Norwegen September 2000 - on tour with big sexy crew...
...our road-trip through Norway could begin. At a length of not even 2,000 km, Norway offers 21,000 km of coastline, including all fjords and 150,000 islands. The only problem is its position on the globe, as one third of this beautiful country lies north of the Arctic Circle, which definitely lays down the visiting times for those active in water sports. The month of September offers a fair compromise of comfortable temperatures and an increasing likelihood of wind.

mmh...

 

...The next morning, we were woken by the wind rattling at our bus. This pleasant weather-condition was crowned by brilliant sunshine. After glancing at the map, head strategist Flo decided that Ogna was the place to go for south-eastern wind. And as a matter of fact, the spot near the campground offered perfect sideshore-conditions and showed us how to behave in this otherwise so annoying direction of the wind, in future. - Just drive to Klitti, get yourself a tasty "fiskeburger" in Hanstholm, take the night-ferry to Eggersund and the next day go surfing with sideshore-wind in the Atlantic swell. It's as simple as that ...

...as we used the once again calm day for a trip to the Lysefjord, where you can climb a regular natural wonder, without too much effort - the Preikestolen. A more than 600m high rock-plateau grants you an incredible view across the fjord. But before you can look down you have to get up there. Two solid hours of forced march, under constant supervision by the Big Sexy Cam and incessant explanations by a tour-member devoted to natural history, were nerve-racking for us recruits. However, rewarded by the breathtaking view which is truly indescribable, all these strains were forgotten just as quickly as the stories of our champions in the nightly tale-telling competitions. During the following days we had the opportunity to test at least some of the uncountable spots around Stavanger, such as the so-called Point Perfect near the airport of Refsnes, which truly was a credit to his own name, despite the rather weak wind...

What should we say - this guy is much more dangerous than he looks!

 

At the end of our trip, everyone of our group agreed that this surely wasn't going to be our last trip to the home of the Vikings. Best windsurf- and surf-conditions, absolutely beautiful landscapes and urban flair with less than ten hours to get there without any jetlag - what else could you ask for?
