Re: "Offical Summer Trips Thread"
Going backpacking/camping in Norway (Finnmarken), maybe Kiruna/Kepnekaise in Sweden. We will be in the wild for a good month, late july to mid august.
Doc: where in norway are you going? are you going to camp in a tent in the wild or do you take the more luxurious approach?

Going to see the Royal International Air tatoo at RAF Fairford
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb...

Bergen, Oslo, Myrdal, Lillehammer, 2 day hike in Hardangervidda. gletsjer (sp?) walking on the Nigardsbreen, climbing the Galdhopiggen, 2 day hike in Jotunheimen and hiking in Rondane. Mostly sleeping in tents, travelling by minibus and lots of hiking !
I really need to get in shape though, belgium is way too flat to get decent walking practice...

Dread Jotunheimen and Hardangervidda, they are pretty but it is really tough terrain.
Btw, in Bergen I can recommend you to take the trip by boat in Sognefjorden (beautiful scenery) and then take Flomsbanen back (an old train track).

Every day (except weekends) from July until early August I shall go trek to Invergowrie, and the Scottish Crop Research Institute, to find out how healthy strawberries are.
The second full week of August I shall go to Wales, to work on the Ffestiniog Railway for my Duke of Edinburgh Residential section...
