looking towards Breheim and Jostendal in the back on the left
crossing Lustrafjorden (one of the many sognfjord arms) looking towards Urnes stave church
looking towards Storebjørn (in the mist) from Krossbu

good old Leirvassbu

Leirvassbu one of the best cabins anywhere, and certainly a very nice place to spend a few days even with a broken ankle - the views and potential for trips are stunning - top right photos actually show the route up storen and the turtagrø swiss chalet

spot the bit that shouldnt be there.....

an amazing rescue by the guys after quite a successful day on the hill trying to climb store skagastølstind in Hurrungane, Jotenheimen from Turtagrø (see previous entry) helicopter over the hills to Otta, taxi to Lillehammar, x-ray and CT scan, quick bit of plastering and back to Lom for a relaxing one

på storen

the jewel in the crown - a must - a stunner - one to dream of - so we started early - on the 1st top for 2nd breakfast and then climbing the 2nd & 3rd by 2nd lunch at which point the weather turned - not today - retreat - home, to be saved for another day....damn, thats broken, really quite sore - get me to the doc on time.....here comes the bird - but not before the boys lower me down extremely professionally, thats what all the training and practice is for...thank you

mountain paddling

up at 1000m above sea level - water was still pretty icey! but boy were the insects having fun - never thrown snowballs from a kajak before!!

Festival of Speed

a beautiful collection of wonderfully prepared cars assembled at the annual goodwood festival of speed!!! for the hill climb - what a fabulous day out - so much to see - you could spend days there - the red arrows even visited - lots of big engines purrrrring with passion, gleaming with pride, both classically old and the secretly very new

last one of the season
