I’m in mate. When do you want a deposit?

 

[Dando]

You can’t volunteer to sort out a meet and post details then laugh when you get interest

 

[Dando]

Have a look at golf breaks- they’ve got deals on

Oh yeah, silly me ???

 

[Bigfoot]

i like that there aren't many trees

There is a lot of sea though.

 

[ScienceBoy]

I would love to do a meet at my pitch and putt down the road

 

[PhilTheFragger]

But there isn’t a KFC near Lofoten ?

 

[Deleted member 17920]

I haven't been able to stop thinking of Lofoten now since it came up again. Just a very quick breakdown of costs if going around May-June this year would come to about £800 based on 2 nights stay, but I've not included any "extra cash" or food and drinks in that... Just the fixed costs of:

- Accommodation in the Lofoten lodge based on 6-8 people
- 3 rounds of golf with rented clubs
- Flights London-Oslo-Narvik (if taking clubs with it would be roughly £150)
- Rental car + gas based on 4 per car

A 1 course lunch at the local restaurant, excl. drinks or tip comes in at just over £20 and a 2 course dinner at just shy of £35...

Perhaps I can aim to go for my 40th in a few years time instead.

Good work Jakob

I am planning it for my 50th in a few years time so I will get saving for your trip ??

No KFC in Norway anymore ?

Although they have some good kebab houses ?

 

[Sats]

I'd be interested but I don't think anything is worth doing for a while.

 

[slowhand]

I’ve played the Old Farts at Forest Pines, as it’s a good laugh and a cracking deal.

Up for a “Northern” meet. I’m in Alwoodley so Moortown would be great!

Lofoten golf breaks are really cheap in December

 

[2blue]

For those unaware of where it is exactly. We were sailing & climbing but would have sampled the golf. However there was no golf course when we sailed by in 2010. So unlike Macrihanish & Islay, I haven't beaten you there Glyn.... though I do get about you know....... haha. A remarkable area with remarkable prices.... do it as you won't be disappointed.

Lofoten in December. You couldn’t pay me to go there!

Had enough of cold winters in my life already, and being up there would probably be the worst of them all.

We were fishing 200 miles north of Lofoten in December the weather was luckily not to bad but it’s still can be wild in that area. We were in Tromso and that was magical with the snow and mountains.

Considering where Lofoten is and the high cost in Norway that price you sourced was very reasonable I thought. ?

Especially as he should get mate's rates off the neighbours.

30 years of snow filled winters and minus degrees is more than enough for me!

I mean, if you cook your own food and get your drinks from the store instead of buying in the restaurant perhaps you can keep it to around the thousand mark. I’m sure I’ve missed a few things also, and no consideration has been taken into timings of flights, so can easily see that you’d need another nights stay etc...

I should of kept quiet on it, me and Mrs wedge were planning on going for a quiet couple days, and a round of two, now we won't get on because it will be full of forumers.

I was in Tromso in February ... several metres of snow and absolutely freezing! There's a very short golf season there.

I'd go there for a game given the opportunity once it thaws out!!
