[fishless]

sry dave ,,just that richie has mentioned that you do suffer abit with the old seasickness thing ,,,or was it you were just sick of him i forgot lol

[DaveMason]

With ref to the above. The skipper is going to fill the boat with individuals or small parties he is out of bergen for the 2 weeks and has asked me how many people want to go if you wish to go there is a deposit of £100 to pay please pm me or email me at jasonwatkin@hotmail.com if you want to go. As i said above 700 quid approx for 7 days live aboard angling in norway is not bad.

[IanW]

I had noticed this before and then Clare asked me if I was going when she noticed it.

Not are you thinking of going, but are you putting your name down......very strange.

Only problem is it\'ll end up costing about £1500 altogether....especially when she wants the same amount to go shopping with.

Seriously would have loved to gone, just a tad expensive.

Although if I start saving now.........

Any info on taking gear over, does the skipper provide weights/pirks etc. any specific type of lures to take, how much does the beer cost :P

When\'s the latest you need to know by Jason.

[jason]

Ian
I would take the car mate that is included in the initial figure so weights etc would not be an issue = spoke to people who have been out there and you do not loose that much due to the nature of the botom and fishing.

i would ideally like to have 4 in the car(with roof rack) the cost of beer is expensive in norway but you get the duty free stuff on the way over and it is not too bad. would like to know in the next week or so.

Regards jason

[Clare]

Ian you can go on your own and I will stay at home........I never intended on coming with you.....me and boats do not mix..

[LING_BASHER]

So if we get 8 thats 2 cars for 7 days in Norway for a coast of about £650-£700 all in other than drinks/food.

Is that correct or have i got it all wrong.

[IanW]

Nah Richy.......without beer money your looking at around £750

650 for the fishing boat and ferry over,

Then you need to add on 4 nights stay in Bergen as well

So it may be even more than 750 unless we can get somewhere quite cheap

Is that right Jason???.

By the way.....count me in.

Clare said she\'ll pay for some of it as a Christmas pressie :P

[jason]

aye mate

Looking to fill 4 places as gordon the skipper says he may be able to fill it with other individuals.

leave wednesday from the toon arrive bergen thursday evening, get on the boat midday saturday for 7 nights leave bergen on the monday night.

Cost per person at the mo is £550 7 days full board charter fee, £135 for return ferry with one car 4 passengers and cabin - that leaves money required for accom in the bergen area (looking at anglers world cabins etc for this they seem quite cheap) for 4 nights (2+2), food for ferry and bergen days and beer money (duty frees must be bough on the boat). So you are looking at around £750-£800 for accom and fishing. I dont think that is bad for a 13 night break.

Currently have ian and me and possibly dave m (if yer still interested).

[Marc]

I was interested and had my name down for this one last year when it was posted but interest seemed to fizzle out. Two weeks might be a bit much for me as I\'m away for two weeks in February, I could manage a week away though.

[DaveMason]

I agree with marc , its the two nights hanging around in Bergen either end ( Do that regular-no fun ) . whats the reason for the extra four days jason and could we cut them out ? Rich is seeing if he can the time of as well I think .

[jason]

the reason is that the summer ferry timetable does not start until may 18th the july week seems to have gone off the plot now will email gordon and see what the score is.

Will also cost alternatives due to the extra days etc. Watch this space. :P
