BAND T SHIRTS AND HOODIES

or "At the top." Maybe that would be wiser if I want comments from my English friends? I just saw a comment on my last posting saying "not bad for a Viking" and couldn't let be this title.
But as you clearly see, the English have good thick clothes and sits in the shelter of the stonewall, while the Viking is in a t-shirt standing in the freezing wind.

If I am to be honest: it can be said that most of the people at the top with us was twice and three times our age, and did not seem at all more tired then us:-(

The flag on the shirt is neither the Confederate States of America nor a misshaped pirate flag. It is the flag of an old Norwegian transport company founded in 1858. For almost 150 years this company bound together the different towns, villages and fjords in our rugged area of Western Norway. For most of this time it had a name standing for trusty transportation on our fjords, for man and goods.

Then the board, a board filled with modern thinking bureaucrats with neither lots of business knowledge and little wisdom nor sense of history and traditions, came up with the modern and completely stupid name Fjord1 and they also took down the good old flag.

A lot of people protested against the removal of the flag and t-shirts were made showing the good old Fylkesbaatane flag! Well, here are we at the reason for this picture. I wanted a picture of me at a top in England that I could send to my local paper to show that the good old flag still fly high all over the world despite the will of the overpaid jerks in the company board! I didn't get this one in the paper, but one of me in Sedbergh was;-) There have also been pictures of this flag from many parts of the world. I DO hope it annoys the board to see it!

But don't leave yet. We are only at the top. Next time you will meet one of the main reasons for us to travel to UK, its strange, kind and fun people. And we are also going back down. It is a lot steeper than up. Stay tuned.
