Tickets are transferable to other members of the LBS community. However, no refunds will be offered once tickets are purchased. This expedition has inherent risks, and travel insurance is highly recommended.

ABOUT TREK

This trek takes you through Nærøyfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by 1,500+ meter mountains and breathtaking landscapes. The trip will include 2 days kayaking, 1 day of hiking, and wild camping on the banks of the fjord. It will be physically demanding, but rewarding. The expedition party will total 20 participants (3 ExCo plus 17 non-ExCo students). Expect stunning paddling routes, wild camping, and rewarding views.

PRE-EXPEDITION

We will run:
- Kit Check – ensure participants have all necessary items
- Swim Test – confirm swimming ability for safety
- Kayak Training Day – practice kayaking techniques & safety

NOTES
- The expedition group will stay together throughout, but for smooth running will be split into 3 teams of 6. Furthermore, throughout the trip you will be paired up with a buddy who you will keep an eye out for during the activities and share accommodation with at night. For this reason it is highly recommended that you plan to attend with someone with whom you would be comfortable to share accommodation for 4 days.
- Accommodation will be in shared double beds (first night), shared tents during expedition (2 individuals per tent) and shared twin rooms (final night). Further details on itinerary and provisions have been circulated within Expedition Club WhatsApp group. Please get in touch prior to booking if you have not yet received presentation with full details.
- Flights are included within ticket price and timings are fixed to ensure smooth logistics
- Only LBS students allowed due to limited nature of tickets
