Walking in Fjordland Norway

02/07/10 to 16/07/10

Approximately 100 miles and 30,000 feet 

 

 

Following on from my previous Ramblers Worldwide Holiday to the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa, July saw me on my way to Norway with the prospect of walking in 'wild and wonderful scenery'. To quote the tour description:
'The tour is based in three centres, each with a very different character - and the journeys between, by road, by train, boat and ferry are breathtaking. During the tour we cross the world's biggest fjord, the Sognefjord, travel along it by express boat, go through the world's longest road tunnel and take the world famous Flåm railway cut into the almost vertical mountainside. Mountain lakes and waterfalls abound.'

Members of the party met up with the leader, Chris, at Gatwick airport for an early morning flight to Bergen. After leaving our luggage at the Thon Hotel Bristol in the centre of the city we went our different ways to explore the sights and surrounding area. The holiday had begun!
