Good Moose safari

Now there have been some rain and the moose´s  again out on the fields in late afternoon . Had a Moose Safari yesterday with the family how is her for some adventure days with the kids and we saw this couple.

Once I was there twice !

Sometimes I am lucky. Has to drive twice to Krokfors to help some of our guests who have forgotten some equipment at Base Camp in Risviken. On the tour back a big Bull Moose was standing near the road. I want to have our guest to see Moose but very often they show up when I’m alone in the car but photos are the evidence.

Allt kräver service

Vi som paddlar kanot, nästan som en livstid, har samma paddlar 1000-tals kilomter under åren sedan 1956.och det finns inte en enda skada på dom.
I dag har många kanotuthyrare plast paddlar, men vi som har kanoting som en livsstil föredrar riktiga träpaddlar. Men det våra gäster skrapar med paddlarna mot relingen på kanoter vilket gör att vi måste slipa och olja in paddlarna då och då för att de skall vara bra.Tar lite tid och omsorg men så är det bara, och så skall det vara.

The Brits are back

Sometimes things happen where you have no control. This group came from England with SAS to Gardermoen in Norway. After waiting several hours to get here luggage they was informed that 17 out of 28 packs was missing and was left at Copenhagen Airport. A few packs came with the following flights. They took of with the buss 6 hours too late for Base Camp in Risviken at Nordmarken Canoe Center.

So they came with 17 members of the team with no sleeping bags, food and equipment. We had to give them the missing equipment so they could make part of their program.

 40 hours later, a car came with the missing packs to the 17 members. Very bad service from SAS at the Airport, they got a small pack with toothbrush, a peace of Pizza and a T- Shirt! SAS simply didn’t understood the problem, to let 17 guests find a way to stay overnight with out any equipment. All have paid for the flight and the packs, but service they have paid for was not good.

After waiting at Base Camp in Risviken they made part of the program “The Duke of Edinburgh Award”

 This School have been here five times before, but with good leaders and some help from us they could make the whole program.

Lucky end and happy guests returning to England and they will fly with another company next year!

there came a car with the missing packs

Åter i vildmarken för 15 de gången här i Nordmarken.

Mannen var här i sin ungdom med fadern och en del vänner i början. Senare med ungdoms kamrater totalt 9 gånger. Denna gång är det sjätte gången i rad tillsammans med dottern och hustrun. De skall ut i 10 dygn och hoppas givetvis på fint väder.
Eftersom de känner området mycket väl kommer de att paddla en av våra "hemliga" turer.

Eftersom det var så varmt utomhus tog jag biden inne i kanot receptionen där det var en bättre temperatur.

Tionde gången vid Nordmarkens Kanot Center

Pappar och två av döttrarna är här som gäster för tionde gången. Denna gång var det med en väninna till en av flickorna. Alltid lika trevligt när vi får Repeat Business , Det måste vara ett bra tecken på att det vi gör och området som sådant tilltala våra gäster.
Nu ser det ut som fint väder framöver och till nästa helg skall det bli 30 grader varmt. Härligt.

Moose and Deer warning.

A little warning to our guests. If you come to us or leave Nordmarken Canoe Center be a bit observant while driving early morning or in the late afternoon. Moose and deer are out on, or near the road. Slow down so you don’t run in to an emergency.
