When Giles and Paula met Hot Ingrid (and the rest of the Neph Squad).

[Giles]

Neph, we had a really amazing time.  I can't single out one single highlight, it was all just so great.  I loved (all) your boys, a credit to you and Hot Ingrid.  Just had a bite to eat on the roof terrace of The Thief and planning what to do with our day in Oslo tomorrow….

[neph93]

On the last day we had time for a fishing trip to Saltstraumen, a channel between two fjords that features the worlds strongest maelstrøm. It was a chance for Giles not to leave Norway without catching anything (and me to keep my job as mod  :D).  It went rather well…

During our second hour long session, the current went from 0-60 in no time as the tidal maelstrom did its thing. The water was suddenly churning and teeming with life. Giles bagged eight coalfish ranging from approximately 6-10kg. Beautiful creatures. We released all of them back into the sea. It was quite an experience.

After a great few days we had to say goodbye. It was a shame, but  I’m very happy I’ll be seeing them both again, (along with a load of forum people, I hope) at the 10th anniversary party in Gosport next month.

Looks like a great meet with fantastic weather as a bonus.  Great pics.

As they say in (American) football- he outkicked his coverage on that one.

It's always nice to see good people having a fun time.

Or as we say in the uk…He's punching well above his weight

Or as I say: he's a lucky fucking bastard!..

[Giles]

At the suggestion of @neph93 and Hottie we are at Vigeland Sculpture Park and Museum in Oslo.

Main attraction is this phallus….

Many of the sculptures showed signs of being ”handled”….

I refrained from photographing the naked men, that showed signs of similar fondling

[hajduk]

Good call! If the weather is ok in Oslo today, go to try to eat & drink there:

As far as Hot Ingrid is concerned it is certainly a case of Beauty and the Beast. Of course, if any of you lot call her «Beast» there’ll be trouble.

Is that what we could call «patina» on the fondled areas?[emoji15]

[louisbosco]

weather looks great. seems like great fun and a good holiday. always thought it'd be rare to have sun up in norway..

@neph93:

also, yes. although i prefer to use the term "seen some mileage.."

It's rare to see Gilles so smily…

[neph93]

Having just spent four days with him, I can assure you it isn’t.

[Chris]

There was a lot of fishing, that usually seems to help with the smiling.

[JDelage]

Let me rephrase: I don’t recall having seen so many pics of Gilles smilling in such a short time. Clearly this trip must have been a lot of fun.

[Max Power]

Fantastic Pictures, Looks like you all had a blast. Norway is beautiful in summer (and without rain). I Need to come back…

[Matty123]

How come you didn’t keep any of those pollock? (Coalfish) are they out of season? And could you  please explain the maelstrom to me. I understand tides. I love on the tidal area of the Housatonic river here in CT. We have strong tidal pull here. But what’s this maelstrom stuff about?
