Background: Nordiska has a long tradition of going for a spring rowing camp to Interlaken. We stay at Hotel du Lac, and are guests at Seeclub Interlaken, which is a very generous guesture!
This year we had 4 days down there, and the weather was once again beautiful...
A total of approximately 40 people plus some children joined this year.

Here the trailer is ready for "take off".
Stephan Haferl and Martin Skrikerud left on friday afternoon with the boats.
Thanks to Ola Schrøen for lending out the car to us!

Arrived to Interlaken friday afternoon.
The conditions are perfect as you can see, and Stephan and Martin hurry to get a test trip in the pair, before the others arrive.

After the trip in the pair, some of the others arrived, and we went for dinner "down town" Interlaken.
Here you see Sebastian Sedvallson acting dog...

Some funny games during dinner..

Once everybody has arrived on saturday morning, all the boats need to be rigged and prepared for the rowing turns.

The oars spread out...

Some of the rookies have to make a "dry training" before they are allowed on the water.
Sebastian is inspecting Kickan and Lars Grönlund.

Here Jeanette Sönnergren and Bjørn Grov are testing the ergos.

At the end of the day, we made the traditional trip down to Iseltwald, 7.3 km to have a beer.
Out of some strange reason, most of us were quit thirsty for a beer, and therefore we made that distance in 27.20 min...
From bow to stroke:
Henrik Persson, Hannes Ludescher, Christian Gromme, Henrik Sivling, Fredrik Nilsson, Sebastian, Stephan, Martin.
Cox: Sjur Vestli.

Also a quadruble scull went down to Iseltwald to have a beer.
From bow to stroke:
Anna Limburn, Daniel Fransson, Marie Vestnes, Jeanette Petremand.

The eight "parked" down at Iselatwald...

...while we were having a nice cold beer in the sun...

Because not everybody were experienced rowers, we had to find alternative transportation methods to get down to the beer-place.
Sports-coach Anne-Lise Sagen organised the people to run, cycle or go with rollerblades.

Stephan, Martin and Anna.

Henrik "Fylle-Henke" Persson...

Here is a rare picture for us who are rowing:
Iseltwald seen from the "land side"...

The parking of the boats was a little bit more complicated than normal - "our" normal parking place was taken...
Here is the quad trying to re-enter the boat to row home again...

The eight had to be entered in two turns - the stroke- and the bow-foar separately...

The eight is getting ready for the trip home.
Sjur and Christian have swapped places.
Look at the wonderful conditions!

From the dinner at Hotel du Lac saturday evening.
We filled the whole length of the restaurant...

Big organiser Sebastian is breefing about sundays program.
It's not difficult to see what kind of weather we had...

Sunday morning training with perfect conditions and impressive surroundings with the snow-covered mountains.

Sundays eight for Iseltwald-beer-drinking-trip.

Monday evening we had a storm coming up.
Stephan and Fredrik were having some sort of game on the landing stage...

...and it looks like the winner was Fredrik...
