I'm setting my stall out pretty early on this one but who's up for climbing the highest Mountain in Norway?
I'd love to do this next summer all being well but I do think it would be proper cool trip.

That's a big old lump of rock...but if this rat (http://www.westcoastpeaks.com/pics/galdho_troll_svellnosiB.jpg) can get to the top of it...

we certainly are getting more adventurous.
I've always fancied a trip to Norway...
Be warned: expensive place...esp the drink. (Did two weeks skiing there about 10 years years ago)

That's the only way to get better!
I'm in. I was also looking into to doing Mt. Blanc sounds very do-able although I'm prob not going to bother getting a guide or staying in the huts!
Was just reading up on this and we might need to wear something other than trail shoes! ;)

Inov-8's with a pair of spikies over them, you'll be sorted :D
Provisionally, I'd be up for this or any such alpine activities next year (the plan is to have time off work and not be skint)
