A new yacht-based trip offers thrilling scenery and total escape from crowded trails
Viewed from a distance we could almost have passed for an amphibious commando unit on a dawn raid. The RIB in which we sped towards the shore was black and unmarked. The eight of us clung to the sides, hunched over, with the spray kicked up by the rubberised prow dousing our faces. Expectant eyes scanned the peaks that ringed the foreshore. On closer inspection? Not so much. For one, we were armed with little more than trekking poles and far too many bags of Haribo.
The first of these was little more than a 10km shake-out jog from the town of Kjerringøy, about 30km north of Bodø. Drizzle hung in the air, and the run was mainly notable for the identification — and outlawing — of the “bastard break”: the custom of those at the front of a group run pausing for a breather as others catch up, before immediately charging off again. Definitely not the Pure Trails way.
