Our flight was due to land in Oslo, around 2pm. Our train which would be taking us north, towards the starting point of the kayaking, was due to depart from the airport at 2:59pm.

I met many nice humans, lots of nasty dogs, Tibetan Monks, got drunk with some Kazakh Police and deported from a country. To summarise - we had fun. Below are the 10 most popular posts from the trip, in chronological order...

I'm not rich, I'm not clever, I'm not an amazing athlete & I'm a terrible planner. I am however, a daft Cornishman, who enjoys bumbling my way through big adventures.
