And DON'T FORGET to add your expedition and the best photo you took to the gallery on the Main Page! We'd love to read your report, but that means we first have to discover it!

Expedition

Before setting out on this expedition, I mentioned in the channel that I was hoping this expedition would adhere to the 80:20 rule.. with 80% preparation and 20% execution. That was after I had searched the aerial pictures for a decent place to launch a boat, learned how to inflate a raft with an inflation bag, sewn my seat to the raft... Mother Nature with her wicked sense of humour decided to make that true.

I eventually set out and cycled towards Tyrifjorden, where I easily found the tractor trail to the water. I just had to pass behind that farmhouse, and follow it. The tiny headland I wanted to launch my boat from was already covered with two canoes, a motorboat and some deck chair suites. It was obviously used for relaxation and boating, as I intended to. I would probably have asked for permission to access, but since there was no one to be seen, and we've got the Allemannsretten Freedom to Roam laws, I figured I would be fine.

One reason why there was no one to be seen might have been that it was a bit windy. Some would call it a storm. I locked my bike, eyed the fast-moving clouds suspiciously, and began to prepare my expedition. With the wind like this, I wouldn't want to set out yet, but there's nothing wrong in being prepared. I decided to wait for half an hour, until that big rainy cloud would have passed over my head. I waited a bit longer, and the cloud passed. The wind did not cease however, and thus I surrendered to my common sense not to go on the water today.

I packed my stuff and cycled home. At least I carved me some eating sticks, which should be useful in future expeditions.
