I've booked! Delighted to be joining this short expedition in beautiful Norway and learning some new bushcraft skills along the way.

There are still places available, I encourage you to take up this great opportunity at a superb price.

Hi everyone on Explorers Connect. My name is Brian Desmond, ex serviceman now based in southern Norway. I have been running this small outdoor centre just north of Kristiansand since December 2003. It is located at the southern end of a business park in pleasant wooded surroundings just 40 meters from the flowing river Otra. With our own Island, 5 acres of land and comfortable accommodation (31 beds) it is an ideal startpoint and base for southern Norwegian expeditions both summer and winter. If you want to read a little about my background you can visit the following web address; www.raymears.com. I have worked with Ray since 2002 (The Real Heroes of Telemark film) and have been one of Woodlores (Bushcraft company) specialist instructor/guides since 2004. Go to Instructors, specialist instructors to read my CV. Although we really specialise in winter courses/expeditions during the winter months Jan to April we have been running this particular expedition for military units (Vikting Trail) during the summer months since 2005. The expedition has been tried and tested since 1969 as it was a permanent summer exped for military personel based in Germany and the UK. I also did this as a student/young soldier in the early seventies and later as an instructor at the British Outward Bound Centre near Evje between 1981-1988. You will not be disapointed; it is a fantastic exped combining the best of Norwegian nature and two popular pastimes/adventure activities; Mountain walking/trekking and Open Canadian canoeing. Perhaps we will meet in late August; you wont be disapointed.
