MOUNTAIN TO FJORD 22-24 of April<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Localization: Bygland- Evje- Kristiansand<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this trip we had three different activities: we practiced\u00a0canoeing, climbing and mountain biking. We spent four days and three nights.<\/span><\/h6>\n
The two first days we did 25 km canoeing in the Bygland fjord to arrive Evje. We spent the night sleeping in Trolaktiv and the next morning we did mountain biking (20km) to go to another area where we were practicing climbing. The next day was spent to arrive to Kristiansand (50 km biking).<\/span><\/h6>\n
Now I will explain some learnings from the different activities that we practice.<\/span><\/h6>\n

CANOEING:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n
When you are canoeing you have to have some considerations in relation with SAFETY. The first thing that we have to pay attention is: always wear a lifejacket. Of course, like always you are outside, you have to check the weather forecast and take appropriate clothes for this. That day was sunny and windy, so I wore break wind jacket. Of course don\u2019t forget use solar cream.<\/span><\/h6>\n
In the canoe we had a big barrel where we put the most important things. Also you can use a big plastic bag to cover the ruck sack.<\/span><\/h6>\n
When everything in under control you can go into the canoe. It will be easier if you follow the next steps:<\/span><\/h6>\n
    \n
  1. \n
    Put the canoe into the water (make sure that is floating freely in a place with big stones)<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    Holding the paddle put one foot in the middle and transfer your weight on to.<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n
    When the canoe is stable bring your other foot into the boat.<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    You can choose between two different seating positions. You can sit on a seat in a canoe or you can kneel in the bottom of the boat with your feet under the seat. The latter is more stable because your weight is lower.<\/span><\/h6>\n
    \"\"<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n
    Normally the lighter paddler should sit in the front of the boat when paddling tandem.<\/span><\/h6>\n
    Then I will show some different paddle strokes:<\/span><\/h6>\n
