Maja in Norway: A weekend with Utlevelser = thrilling activities

Just outside Oslo, in Østmarka, I went to a trip arranged by a company called Utlevelser. I was positively surprised that there was such a place close to Oslo: Small paths and not overcrowded with people. We started the tour by paddling canoes to the camp that had been put up for us beforehand. Luxury! We then continued a bit further to the first challenge: abseiling. I'm scared of heights and was not sure I would dare to do it, but after everyone else had done it I had gathered enough courage to try. It went okay in the beginning, but after a while I went outside a cliff and I had nothing to put my legs against. I was just hanging there! As if that was not bad enough, the rope turned and instead of facing the mountain there was nothing right in front of me. I got a real kick that is for sure=) And I was pretty proud I dared to try it since I did not dare it the last time I had the chance.
The evening was very cosy, after we had been served a proper meal everyone gathered around the bonfire. What made the evening even more awesome was that one of the guys had actually brought his guitar and songs had been printed for the occasion: singalong=)
The following day the challenge was a zip line. I was terrified. But since I want to challenge my fear all I could do was to get into harness and run for it. I thought I was careful when I ran for the cliff, but the instructor told me I was not, so I had obviously decided to do it properly the first time around. A crazy fun activity that everyone found thrilling=)

A great weekend! The instructors and organizers did a very good job. A trip with Utlevelser is absolutely recommendable=)
