Great advice for fishing in Norway.

As I sat in Gatwick airport waiting for my flight to Oslo, I noticed over the top of my cup of coffee a group of five lads heading my way. Realising they were anglers and donned in colourful hoodies and baseball caps, I stared as they struggled to keep their heavily packed luggage trollies on a straight course. Huge cooler boxes had been wrapped in layers upon layers of duct tape, large sports bags and suitcases were precarious­ly balanced too, while at least one long rod tube poked out like a tank’s gun barrel. They were carrying a serious amount of fishing kit and I certainly didn’t envy them.

Bearing in mind it only took me a few minutes to check-in my single suitcase; boarding cards were tucked inside my passport and the only hand luggage I had was my camera equipment. I was relaxed and looking forward to my flight in comfort.

However, these lads already looked incredibly stressed just a few moments into their trip, and they would soon be sweating when it all went on the scales at check-in, adding more stress.

I certainly don’t need that malarkey in a crowded airport.
