Back Up North

The view from the cabin - northern sunset and cruise liner

 After seven weeks in the UK we filnally got back on the road - taxi to Manchester, flight to Stockholm, swap planes - though it was actually the same one - then up to Kiruna in Arctic Sweden. The two days we were there it pretty much rained all the time - but at least we were away! Then it was up through the mountains, over the border and down into Norway - the weather improved all the way and we were soon established in Thorbjørn's superb cabin just west of Narvik. 

The magnificent Eidetind
A few days in and we have photoed several of the cliffs in the Narvik area - the current book has been out of print for about six years - and some of the peaks around Eidfjord - all for the next edition of the Lofoten guidebook which we hope to have out in time for next season.

Turkey Time

We used to use Turkey as an escape from Schengen and the pitiful Brexit restrictions on our travel in Europe - thanks to the gullible souls ...
