1^st Post

A friend of mine has just started a new business and he is offering photographic tours of the Lofoten Islands. He is a Nikon user and is a great photographer. He lives in Norway and has been going to Lofoten islands for 30+ years so he knows the area very well.

http://www.lofotendreams.com/

This area is probably one of the dream holidays for any photographer.
The screnery is utterly fabulous and the weather is variable so you can get many different types of shot.
The weather in February/March is cold (-10C) but not so cold as the Gulf Stream comes up to Lofoten area.

I am thinking that it might be a great opportunity for us to have a small expedition to go in late February or March.
Costs are â‚¬2900 each plus your flights to Lofoten Islands from home. Norway is an expensive country so this represents great value.

Indeed if we can get a party of 4-5 of us then we can have him as our private guide as his party size limit is 6 people (max) and 4 people (min).
He has told me that he may be able to provide a small discount if we book as a group.

Any takers then please PM me.

Yes I was...but on reflection, Judith's silver torso I suppose, could also be regarded as 'halfway there' .....in financial terms, not to mention gorgeous landscapes.

:lol:

I will get my hat. :diggingahole:

I am thinking about iceland or even greenland sometime. Slightly less done to death than Lofoten and often much cheaper

I'm looking at Iceland for a trip in Feb. There are some good prices with flights from Aberdeen. The expensive bit is the trips out when you get there.

Jan did you go on this trip or is it 2018 that you are targeting?
