I'm after extreme sports, where to go, how much do they cost? Also when and where is the best time to see the northern lights? --- Would you risk it, for a biscuit?

The best time of the year to see northern lights is of course in the "dark season" (october to march)...we recently had pretty nice northern lights here in southern Norway and it occured due to the explosions on the sun. When it comes to extreme sports: what are you looking for? In the summer season you can go base jumping of Kjerag (take a look at the page http://www.gardkarlsen.com/kjerag.htm). This is a 1000 meter high mountain outside Stavanger that is used a lot for base jumping. What other extreme sports are you looking for? How was Nepal by the way? I just went to Kilimanjaro and was pretty breathless when I came to the top at 5895 meters :-) Regards Gard www.gardkarlsen.com --- Regards Gard http://gardkarlsen.c-om - trip reports and pictures Reply    Reply with quote    Contact gardkarlsen   kathmandukitten Premium account Joined: Sep 03 Points: 2729 Posts: 82 Posted: 2003-11-14 21:30:00    THanks for the info, liked the site! My fella's into rock climbing but i fancy base jumping too! I've heard there are groups you can go with who take you jumping. Do you know if this is true or how much they cost? Nepal was fantastic by the way, im hoping to get back there in Easter.. just need the time off work! --- Would you risk it, for a biscuit?
