What is Papay Arctic Adventure, Norway Part 2?

In 2014 we, Amanda Hourston (Papay), Daniel Elves (Suffolk) and Daniel Wakeham (Papay), took our 7.5m RIB, Quickstep, from Papay, Orkney to Norway, crossing the Arctic Circle and back. The 29 day, 2000+ mile adventure helped raise money for charity and pushed the boundaries of what can be done in a small RIB. This year Amanda and Daniel W aim to take the same RIB back to Norway going further north, hopefully 70°, Hammerfest and perhaps beyond! We will be spending the year (including overwintering) aboard travelling the Norwegian coastline. Have a look at Norway Part 2

and Whats different about Norway Part 2 for more information on our adventure.

UPDATE: We arrived in Norway on the 28th April 2016 and the adventure is going great!

UPDATE: We finished our arctic adventure in 2017, choosing to move to the Norwegian Arctic, where we now live!
