BBC Radio Scotland - Out of Doors, 20/02/2016

A special programme from Norway featuring countryside stories and outdoor inspiration.

Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith visit Norway and try dog sledding, sea kayaking, caving and walking over icy terrain.

Mark, Euan and Claire bring you the second of our two special programmes recorded in Norway, looking at countryside and leisure lessons that Scotland might learn from Scandinavia.

Before the news...

Nord Trøndelag regional farming leader, Asbjorn Helland, explains how carnivore predation on sheep is causing farmers to leave the industry in their droves.

Claire discovers from Agricultural Director, Kirsten Vaerdal, how women in Nord Trøndelag are grouping together to brand their farm businesses by region.

Euan learns about Norwegian renewables and rural education whilst Mark talks forestry in Maere Agricultural College.

After 7am...

Mark dons mini crampons for an icy hike with Nina Pettersen whilst Euan visits an unusual Norwegian hytte in the company of Preben Falck.

Sea kayaking is increasingly popular in the waters around Oslo, as Mark discovers during a particularly chilly paddle!

Claire climbs a hill to see the world's biggest garden seat in Oftenåsen, with the spritely Asbjorn Mathieson as her guide.

Husky dog sledding keeps Mark out of mischief just outside Oslo.

Euan feels claustrophobic whilst caving near Sticklestad.

And the whole Out of Doors family takes a typical Norwegian Sunday walk to Rønningen hytte for hot chocolate and waffles by the bonfire.
