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.

Be warned: expensive place...esp the drink. (Did two weeks skiing there about 10 years years ago)

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)
