Welcome to a weekend trip to the Molnes cabin!

From Saturday 28. to 29. of June we invite you to a kayaking trip going to one of the nearby rental cabins. The Molnes cabin is owned by Tromsø JFF, is located on Kvaløya on the eastern part of Kaldfjord (69.76034N, 18.71614E), and has beds for 10 people.

To get there, we will load the trailer with the kayaks at the TSI Trulle boathouse and drive for about 30 minutes to the starting point. From this point, there is about 4 km of paddling to the cabin. At the cabin, we will prepare dinner and otherwise enjoy the evening. The following day, we will have breakfast, clear out and clean the cabin, and then paddle back to the cars.

Who can participate?

This trip is expected to be manageable for all who have tried kayaking a few times. Marius is an activity leader which means that you can participate without having a Våtkort / EPP2. 

However, as always, the weather conditions (i.e the wind) determine the challenge. The planned route is exposed to rougher seas, and the water temperature is expected to (still) be about 10 degrees Celsius. There is a longer alternative route (10 km), but likely more protected. We will do an evaluation of the conditions at the boathouse. 

Practical information

We meet at the TSI Trulle boathouse at 13.00 on Saturday the 28 of june. The expected arrival back at the boathouse on Sunday the 29 of june is 18.00, although there might be delays or wishes from the group to extend the trip a bit. The fee for the trip is set to 250 NOK, which covers cabin and equipment rental, transport, dinner, breakfast (likely oatmeal), and a bit of snacks.  

The participants will receive an email about a week in advance regarding any further needed information. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us!
