Guided Sea Kayaking on the West Coast of Moskenes Island, Lofoten, Norway Guided sea kayaking on the west coast of Moskenes island, Lofoten, Norway Kajakk Nord, Ut i Lofoten and Hattvika Lodge is inviting you to a rarely paddled stretch of Lofoten, the wild west coast of Moskenes island. "As ugly as the eastern coast of Lofoten is, it is yet surpassed in sheer rawness by the western coast”. District governor G.P. Blom in 1827 The west coast of Moskenes is remote, isolated and rarely paddled. With two experienced guides we are taking you to this amazing location in summer 2016. We will experience the raw and untouched nature the west coast has on offer, we will explore sea caves and dry caves. We will see eagles, seals, fish and a myriad of birds living in an environment rarely visited by man. See link for the interesting history of Moskenes island: http://www.lofoten-info.no/history.htm Dates: 23-29 July 2016 Price: 7900 NOK including a rental sea kayak (Scorpio P&H) 6390 NOK excluding a rental sea kayak (bring your own) Maximum participants: 12 Plan: 23 July, arrival at Hattvika Lodge, BBQ dinner and briefing. Accommodation at Hattvika Lodge. 24 July, the paddling starts from Fredvang to Kvalvika. 25 July, Kvalvika to Bunes 26 July, Bunes to Lofotodden 27 July, Lofotodden to Reinefjord 28 July, drive from Reine to Hattvika Lodge, BBQ dinner, shower and a soft bed at Hattvika Lodge. 29 July, departure from Hattvika Lodge by 15:00. Guides: Svein Nordli from Ut i Lofoten, 5 star guide and instructor (NPF). Svein is local and lives in the small village of Stamsund where he operates his business; Ut i Lofoten. Svein work out at sea or in the Lofoten mountains every day and know how to forecast the local weather conditions. Kristoffer Vandbakk from Kajakk Nord, 4 star guide and instructor (NPF and BCU). Kristoffer has 3 years of experience as a sea kayak guide and instructor. He has done multiple trips to the west coast of Moskenes and has incident management and first aid in remote areas skills. Experience required: Although 5 days in a sea kayak is not an expedition, the west coast of Moskenes island is remote and isolated, so our participants need to meet certain standards. There are no roads or populated areas and very limited phone/radio coverage. The weather will decide if we go for plan A or plan B. Safety comes first and in Lofoten the weather is always the deciding factor. We require that you have passed a 3 star sea kayak course (teknikkurs from NPF, 3 star BCU or equivalent). Alternatively you must have sufficient experience to paddle in 3 star conditions. Furthermore you must know how to land a sea kayak in surf so some surfing experience will be essential. There may be surf conditions on our landing beaches and surf zones are relatively high risk areas. We also ask that you are a contributing member of the group. We need all the members of the group to contribute where they can, whether at sea or on land. We will be isolated and it’s therefore important that everyone assist each other whenever possible. If you think something can be done in a better way the whole group can benefit from your contribution. Lastly, the conditions can be rough on the west coast. If we deem the conditions too demanding we will go for our plan B. You must however be prepared and able to paddle and camp under rough conditions; high winds and big waves. Equipment required: Dry suit Paddle Spray deck Safety west Warm clothing, waterproof jacket Hiking shoes or boots Tow rope for sea kayaking Camping equipment (tent, sleeping mat, sleeping bag, a stove to cook food, gas or fuel can be bought in Lofoten) Food for 5 days of camping (4 dinners, 4 breakfast, 5 lunches, minimum) A map of Moskenes island ( http://www.kartbutikken.no/turkart/turkart-1-50-000/vest-lofoten ) First aid kit Sunscreen A hat to protect yourself from the sun or a helmet for sea kayaking Whatever else you require to be comfortable for 5 days in the wild Recommended equipment: Helmet for kayaking Neoprene gloves or mittens Neoprene hood The average temperature in Lofoten is 12 degrees celsius in July. Bring an appropriate sleeping bag and clothes. Details of plan A: 23 July: Arrival at Hattvika Lodge before 18:00. We meet up and get to know each other. The briefing starts at 18:00. We then enjoy an evening BBQ and relax at Hattvika Lodge. 24 July: We go to Lofotsenteret in Leknes for shopping (fuel, food and whatever else you need). We then drive to Fredvang and begin the paddle to Kvalvika. There are sea caves to explore, in our kayaksk, just before Kvalvika. Distance to paddle: 10 km. 25 July: Kvalvika to Bunes. The wild West coast of Moskenes all day. Distance to paddle: 17 km. We arrive at Bunes beach and camp here. There is mobile telephone and radio coverage a 20 minutes hike from the beach. 26 July: Bunes to Lofotodden. We will paddle by several caves. If we can, we will explore a cave on foot, there are 2-3000 years old paintings in some of these. We arrive at Lofotodden where we will paddle in the Mosken tidal current. There is mobile and radio coverage at this campsite. Distance to paddle: 25 km. 27 July: We paddle near the Mosken tidal current and pass the most Southern point on the island towards Reine. Reinefjord is one of the most picturesque areas in Lofoten, we will find a suitable campsite there. There is mobile telephone and radio coverage on the whole East coast. Distance to paddle: 24 km. 28 July: A short paddle to Reine where we will be picked up and driven back to Hattvika Lodge for another great BBQ, a hot shower and comfortable bed. 29 July: Breakfast and departure from Hattvika Lodge by 15:00. Details of plan B: If conditions on the West coast are too demanding we will go for plan B on the East coast. 23 July: Arrival at Hattvika Lodge before 18:00. We meet up and get to know each other. The briefing starts at 18:00. We then enjoy an evening BBQ and relax at Hattvika Lodge. 24 July: We go to Lofotsenteret in Leknes for shopping (fuel, food and whatever else you need). We then paddle from Ballstad to the Island of Kunna. 25 July: Kunna to Reinefjord. 26 July: Reinefjord to the old settlement of Ånstad 27 July: Ånstad to Lofotodden, the Southern tip of Lofoten with a view over the Mosken tidal current. 28 July: A paddle back to Å where we will be picked up and driven back to Hattvika Lodge for another great BBQ, a hot shower and comfortable bed. 29 July: Breakfast and departure from Hattvika Lodge by 15:00. Safety procedures: When planning a fairly challenging sea kayak trip such as this, we have to plan for the worst and hope for the best. Below we have described known risks and how to avoid and deal with them. On the west coast there are several landing spots. This includes Kvalvika, Horseid, Bunes, Gjerdvika, Turtnbakkvika, Refsvika and Hell. These are all sand beaches (except Hell which is a sheltered bay) and therefore preferable to organising a rock landing. If we need to land wi will, if possible, attempt landing at one of these places. It is possible to hike on foot to the populated east coast from Kvalvika, Horseid and Bunes. From Bunes it is possible to spend a day carrying all equipment from the beach to the sheltered Reinefjord on the east coast. From Hell it is possible to hike to Å, but this is a very long and steep hike. It is also possible to hike from Stokkvika to the east coast, however the landing in Stokkvika is rocky. If emergency rescue is required, the group should contact emergency services. This can be done at any of the mobile/radio service points marked on the map. Other than the marked points, there is no mobile or radio contact on the west coast of Moskenes.The whole east coast has mobile and radio contact. If there is a need to evacuate an injured person or the entire group we will use a RIB. Equipment will be secured on land for pickup at a later stage. Each of the group must be prepared to tow another paddler. Everyone must have a tow rope and everyone must also know how to use it. If you capsize you should be able to roll or self rescue. Partner rescues are the second line of defence. If a paddler flips over in his or her kayak and exits the kayak, a recovery can be performed by a member of the group. Everyone must be able to perform a buddy rescue so that the person gets back into the kayak. In the unlikely event of resuscitation being required, the casualty will be moved to land if possible or raft up to provide a suitable platform. Group control: Line of sight between the group members is to be maintained. If you leave the group on purpose you are no longer considered a part of the arranged guided trip, until you return to the group. If conditions are too rough the group may be forced to remain in camp until conditions improve. If an emergency occurs and the group or part of the group has to cancel the guided trip, no refund will be given.

  • MOSKENES GUIDE 2008 T Moskenes in 1120, King Eystein Estab­ Eystein King 1120, in Control
    MOSKENES Area: 118.6 km2 Population: approx.1128 Municipal centre: Reine he island of Mosk enesøy is located in the untamed, western part of the Lofoten Is- Page lands. On the far side of the island, you will find long, chalk-white beaches. The island Tis surrounded by strong tidal currents like the Sundstraumen strait, and the infamous 28 Maelstrom. Glaciers and other forces of Nature have sculpted the island landscape, which is among the wildest and most fascinating that Norway can offer. Traces of Stone Age settlement dating back over 5,500 years can be found on the island. Several old place names, such as Moskenes, bear witness to early Sami settlement. The inhabitants of Moskenesøy live largely on the eastern side of the island, where the best harbour conditions are to be found. Earlier, there was also settlement along the entire northern coast of the island – the so-called outer coast, but owing to poor harbour conditions and perilous waters, all of them have now been abandoned. Å, Hamnøy and Sakrisøy are particularly well-known for their old, well-preserved architectural environment. The Lofoten Fishery, the Fishing Village and the Rorbu Cabin Abundant Resources in the North When the great glaciers receded from our northern coastlines, the cod began its annual migra- tion from the Barents Sea to spawn in the waters of Lofoten. Every winter for over 10,000 years, the coastal people have caught the tasty Norwegian Arctic cod, eating the fresh fish together with the liver and roes, or producing stockfish and cod liver oil - used for bartering and trading purposes.

  • Artists Are Shaking up Norway's Cod-And-Knitwear Image in the Lofoten Archipelago, but There Are Still Cosy Cabins to Hole Up
    ROCKING IN THE ISLES ARTISTS ARE SHAKING UP NORWAY’S COD-AND-KNITWEAR IMAGE IN THE LOFOTEN ARCHIPELAGO, BUT THERE ARE STILL COSY CABINS TO HOLE UP IN AND PLATTERS OF SEAFOOD FOR SUPPER. BY SOPHIE CAMPBELL. PHOTOGRAPHS BY YADID LEVY The fishing village of Reine, on Moskenesøya in the Lofoten Islands 90 f you are a cod, these are the killing fields. Bunches of drying fish twist in the wind on birch frames the size of Dutch barns, and chunky working boats bristle with radar, net winches and fish-finding gear. If you are an artist, this is a land of light, clear and simple, which is why so many have made their way here in the past century and a half. If you are a visitor, this is where mountains shoot Iout of the sea like fins, their reflections diving to unfathomable depths in the fjords, and sweet little wooden houses cluster in shades of lemon and dove and brick and sky. But you mustn’t look too hard in case you fly off roads raised to let meltwater flow away and edged only with flimsy red poles. The Lofoten Islands barely qualify as an archipelago. They are more like a vestigial tail off the coast of Norway, 100km above the Arctic Circle and 230km south of Tromsø, connected to the mainland by a bridge about a kilometre long. More bridges swoop between the seven main islands, and around them skitter innumerable rocks and skerries. Fish is everywhere. It glints through the history and swims through the art.

  • Trip to Lofoten
    7ULSWR/RIRWHQ :KHQ29th June --- 5th July :KRXiaomeng, Jinghai and my colleague Darius couple. Starting from Trondheim, we drove our Toyota on a one-week trip along the northern part of Norway, to Lofoten and return. Lofoten is said to be one of Norway’s most scenic holiday des- tinations, where you can see towering mountains with pointed peaks standing right in the mid- dle of the sea. It is an archipelago in the ocean, north of the Article Circle. I will describe my journey in a considerably detailed way, so that others can follow some of the trip if they want to. In the summer, when the mid- night sun is there, it’s almost daylight all through the night, so we decided to drive all the way from Trondheim to Lofoten within one day. We started early morning in Trondheim, headed north on E6 towards Bodø. E6 is relatively easy to ride but still there are lots of turns in the mountain roads. The terrain is quite hilly and most of the time, we were either up or down the mountain. The landscape along the road was quite pleasant, green woods, wild flowers and snow mountain peaks. When we were approaching the Arctic Circle, the landscape changed into an untamed wideness. It was such a unique place, so we decided to have a stop over on our way back from Lofoten. We arrived in Bodø just at the right time for the afternoon ferry from Bodø to Moskenes, which is situated in the southern part of the lofoten islands.

  • Lofoten Islands Guided Walking Holiday
    Hike Norway's Wild Lofoten Islands Tour Style: European Centre Based Destinations: Norway & Scandinavia Trip code: LTLCL 2 & 4 HOLIDAY OVERVIEW Far above the Arctic Circle, the Lofoten Islands spill out into the Norwegian Sea. This land of majestic mountains, plunging fjords and wave-swept beaches is a wonderful wilderness of staggering natural beauty. The warm waters of the Gulf Stream give the islands a much milder climate than other areas which sit at the same latitude, so the summer months are the perfect time to walk and be at one with the natural world. In summer, the daylight hours are long; from late May to mid-July the islands are bathed in the wonderful light of the midnight sun. There are two guided walks to choose from each day taking in the wild coast with its white sandy beaches, areas of mountain and charming fishing villages with their traditional ‘rorbuer’ (fishermen’s cabins). The week is based on the island of Austvågøya and includes travelling by ferry to the neighbouring islands of Hadseloya and Skrova. The area is home to sea eagles and whales; it is not unusual to spot these while out walking. Later in the season, as the nights draw in, there is always the chance of seeing the Northern Lights, adding an extra bit of magic to a wonderful destination. WHAT'S INCLUDED • Half Board - buffet breakfast and evening meal • Transport to and from the walks • A full programme of guided walks with 2 options every walking day www.hfholidays.co.uk PAGE 1 [email protected] Tel: +44(0) 20 3974 8865 • The services of experienced

  • The Cave Paintings of Norway
    Terje Norsted The Cave Paintings of Norway Introduction The Norwegian cave paintings form a geographically confined phenomenon. They are concen- trated in the two neighbouring counties of Nord-Trøndelag and Nordland which are in the north- ern region of the country. At the time of writing, twelve sites con- taining about 170 painted figures have been documented. The Norwegian painted caves are remarkable in the sense that they are the only recorded ex- amples of their kind in northern Europe. Located in desolate areas along the Atlantic coast, they are found in mountainous landscapes with a rugged shoreline. The con- sensus of opinion is that the ma- jority of the paintings were made by hunter-gatherer-fishers during the Bronze Age (or the Early Metal Age as this period is referred to in northern Norway), and that they stayed in these caves on a short- term basis for ritual purposes only. The Norwegian painted caves: an overview The sites on the list below are numbered according to geography, starting from south (please see the map, fig.1). In addition to the site names, the list has entries for the district, county and borough as well as the year of discovery of the paintings. Ytre Namdalen, Nord-Trøndelag 1.
