Something cool happened today though, NRK (Norwegian national broadcaster) followed myself and my team around for a few hours. People in the general public have no idea whatsoever about rope access, neither do you probably. Google it. They have decided to make a "thing" on us over the next few days while we carry out a job on the second highest building in Norway. There is a pretty cool edited clip that aired at 7pm tonight on TV, but that hasn't made its way into the channels of the deep, dark interweb yet. I'll be sure to post it as soon as it does though.
I usually dont do onshore work at all anymore, but I was headhunted because of my previous experience from South Africa when I was working for Skysite to come in and supervise this job. I kinda miss being offshore, but going home to a hotel every night does have it's perks. Regardless of where I am though, be it a floating power drill in the North Atlantic of a picturesque town in warm southern Norway, I want to be home shooting and making connections. Frustration has set in with the utmost intent of distracting me at every waking moment of this trip.
Here is the link to the video and some pictures courtesy of NRK photographer Thomas Nikolai Blekeli. Now, do yourself a favour and stop surfing the interweb and reading random bullshit and get out and do something rad! Regardless, have a good Friday night ya'll. N.
