Hello fellow paddlers,

My name is Snorri and this is my first post to paddlewise, I have been
lurking for some time now and enjoying the many topics discussed.

I am planning a paddling trip to Norway and need information on good places
to paddle, camp and all other info that might be of use, so if someone has
paddled in Norway it would be great if they could share their experience.

Thanks in advance

Snorri

We just got back from a great trip to the Lofoten islands (TR coming
Real Soon Now). This is a great paddling destination: above the Arctic
Circle, not many bugs, absolutely stunning scenery, not very cold water
(Gulf Stream influences). There are not a lot of camping spots, as the
mountains tend to drop straight from 1000m or so into the water, so a
bit of planning is necessary. We were north of Svolvaer, camping in the
back of the Trollfjord for a few days. We had only planned one night
there, but got winded in. I believe there is an outfitter there named
Jann. We went with Crossing Latitudes, a Swedish-American company;
highly recommended.
