Arctic Norway – April 2012
I am booked and ready to go…
What promises to be a highlight of the coming year! I will be leading a ‘Gullfest’ in Varanger in April 2012 in association with Tormod A. and Destination Varanger.
My flights are booked for 11th – 19th April. I am leading a group. Places are limited. options to come slightly later/ leave slightly earlier depending on your budget/ time constraints. I will be leading a Dog Sled trip into the Taiga on Thursday 12th, then on Friday 13th we’ll head up to Vadso for the Gull Fest This should include chumming, ID workshops, Base Camp in a Sami tent, ringing of Glaucous Gulls and inspiring talks each evening. After the Gull Fest I will be leading excursions to see Sea Duck, Arctic Redpolls, White-tailed Eagles and all the other Arctic fare, returning home Wednesday/Thursday.
