metal_snapper1599968645 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 -29 is brass monkeys alright. Better get that antifreeze sorted beardyjim:) On site weather station = no wind and effective min temp of -29 though in the sunshine = 0.9 degrees looks like they've gone to Geilo again. http://www.rallarvegen.com/WxFlash/ Quote
beardyjim Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 going in tomorrow morning and fingers crossed they should be sorting it! (although someone did suggest filling the rad with something 40% proof and then drinking the rad fluid!) Quote

I am soooo saving for next year's trip.. flippin' uni killjoy degree Quote
rix-zgw Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Well as can be seen Simon had a head on with a snow plow. After skidding on the ice. He was airlifted to Oslo hospital and as far as i gave heard has a broused spine and has broken some ribs. Passanger Ben was ok but a bit shacken up. The Delicia is "no more a car". Quote
metal_snapper1599968645 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 *ucking hell!!.....I do hope everyone is ok......that does not look good at all:( Looks like someone's been having a bit of bovver today though... http://www.ukkiting.com/gallery/index.php?file=./Turbulence%20trips/Norway%202008/2008_04_11_Norway/2008_04_11_Norway_01.JPG Quote

Hope he's back on it real soon Quote
metal_snapper1599968645 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Get fixed soon Simon.... Quote
hank Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 crikey! I hope everyone is going to be ok Quote
ANGELZ Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 All OK :-) few broken ribs :-( but could have been ALOT worse looking at the pics ov the car!!!! Quote
Nemesis Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Hope Si recovers quickly and Ben starts to feel better soon. I thought it was bad enough being chased by a snowplough but to meet one head on must be really hairy It's suposed to be the Snowkiting thats extreme. Stay safe everyone Quote
flying ribster Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 hope they both recover and feel better soon! Liam Quote
loftyrob Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Get well soon dudes and glad it wasnt worse sure everyone will keep you comfy and under no circumstances make them laugh not with broken ribs even if YOU think its funny all the best dudes mend soon :) Quote

Newt Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 After watching the video posted above (Remi Meum Norway 10th April 2008), I think the awesome snowkiter that turned up on the 3rd of April at the top of Geilo when we were there was him!!!! This guy was truely awesome!!! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3061/2385165161_3307c1d238_b.jpg Sigh..... Norway is now a distant memory!!!! P.S. hope the guy's that were in the crash are ok now!!

hank Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 I am just wondering how much you guys on the first holiday have spent and how much I need to change over in currency. Cheers Quote
snowey Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 I am just wondering how much you guys on the first holiday have spent and how much I need to change over in currency. Cheers What was the exchange rate on the ferry like? Quote
Newt Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 I am just wondering how much you guys on the first holiday have spent and how much I need to change over in currency. Cheers I wasn't on the Turbulence trip but was there the week before..... Needless to say you'll need to take out a hefty personal loan before you leave!!! Norway is "muchos expensive" unless you can take supplies out with you!!! We flew out so needed to buy all supplies there... must have spent £250'ish (each) buying essentials from the local shop!!! (they must have seen us coming!!! we were there for a week). James Quote
beardyjim Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 luckily the majority of the food shopping has been done now and weighing up the zero tolerance drink drive limit with the alcohol allowance I think I may 'break even'. > Quote
hank Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Yep we are taking food and drink out with us so that side of it should be fine. Quote

James Certainly looks like his kite & board awesome is why he's in the top two Snowkiters globally . Nice guy to talk to as well, Remi and his mates made us waffles last year. Quote

There's no doubt that he's world class.... he would have to have been to do what he was doing without any effort!!! Well he made it look easy!!! I did speak to him for a while but was totally unaware of who he was!!! Even got a bit of video just haven had time to sort it out since getting home..... We'll try and be more aware next time we're there!!! James Quote
metal_snapper1599968645 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 If it helps Hank, last year I took £150's worth of NOK (thats about 1,488 NOK's) I ate very,very well on the ferry and had 3 trips to the ski resort, needed an extra £50 in Bergan so I could eat well again and get a pressie for the wife. Do bear in mind I'm not really a drinker, if you do like your drink then may take more say 2,000 NOK and dont eat as well:) I'll be taking the same this year £150's worth. I am just wondering how much you guys on the first holiday have spent and how much I need to change over in currency. Cheers Quote
