 Norway - The Romsdalshorn Crowning The Mountain Wall Above Rauma River

Slingsby's Norway, the Mountain Play-ground, tells all about it, and gives an interesting ac-count of how the author himself made the difficult ascent in 1884.
The lovely green valley has still older associations than those relating to the boyhood of Norway's favorite poet, for here, they say, ten and eleven centuries ago, lived some of the rich Norsemen who entailed their property and sent the younger sons away to seek fortunes overseas.

However, Gs is thought to be lethal to almost all genetic strains of Atlantic salmon as evidenced by affected rivers in Norway and Russia (and as tested on Scottish fish).
The biggest lesson from Norway is that delay and prevarication are disastrous and can result in the complete loss of viable salmon fisheries for a generation or more.
