Sjoa Fest 2009
 It was that time of year again! When kayakers gather from all over Norway and Europe to party and paddle in the Riksanlegget Kayak Camp besides the Sjoa River in central Norway. This year saw the comeback of the mighty Ula race, all sorts of fun and games with rafts and a gruelling multi-sport race for the keen!
liz and I arrived on Wednesday afternoon to be accosted by Pete Vikers and a miss-fit raft race team. The promise of fine whisky convinced us join a race in the slowest river craft known to man, and try to make it go fast! This ended up being an entertaining event with semi serious teams of rafts guides and groupies. Amazingly we ended up in second place, which considering most of us were not full time rafters was pretty good!

Norway
Just returned from a kayakers ultimate smash and grab holiday. We unfortunately arrived to late to take part in the Sjoa festival but it looked to be a great success and one to look out for next year. With only 7 days we maximised our water time and with everything high it wasn’t hard to find rivers, just difficult to pick from the number of outstanding sections in the Sjoa area. The weather was typically wet but the Sjoa kayak camp provided excellent shelter. With budget airlines providing cheap flights all over Europe I can see me becoming a fan of smash and grab holidaying.
