Respect!
In tidlig sommertid 1971, a friend of mine died when he accidentally went over the side of Trollstigen at the wheel of an HGV. He was newly marrried and had everything to live for.
It's a terribly unforgiving place.
RIP, Helge.

Can I catch everyone's attention please?
Ops-Normal is running well and is pretty active. What we really need now is 'fresh blood', so if you have any likely joiners you can contact either in TOP or elsewhere, please do. Spread the word!
