IGO Adventures – N60° Norwegian Challenge

For the second year, the team at IGO Adventures has put together this brilliant event – 4 days, 4 stages, 1 Challenge in the centre of Norway between Hemsedal and Geilo.  The weather last year was quite benign – not so this year; and that made it a much tougher but, pfrom my perspective, much more enjoyable event.  A great synopsis of the challenge is here N60 – 2017.

For my part, it’s a busy week.  There were 3 of us in the media team – 2nd shooter Nico: nico and film-maker James: james.  The media output is to capture fully the experience and emotion, as well as producing daily media for immediate use.  Finally, there was an aspect of capturing images for sponsors – more of that later.

The team this year were just brilliant – very up for everything thrown at them by the disciplines and the weather, and they got on very well – sharing a large tent with extremely cold temperatures and a force 10 outside helps!

The following images should tell the story of my challenge….
