Wayfare is an expedition outfit in Tromsø. Fourteen departures a year, six on the rope, seven guides who have each been on the ground a decade — and a kit list we check item by item before anyone leaves the yard.https://wayfare-expedition.example/en-gbhttps://wayfare-expedition.example/journal/eleven-days-of-weather-in-numbers/https://wayfare-expedition.example/journal/eleven-days-of-weather-in-numbers/The July Hornsund departure, logged hour by hour: wind, water temperature, paddling kilometres, and the three days we did not get in the boats at all.Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTField noteHornsundweathertrip logbasecamp@wayfare-expedition.example (Ada Johnsen)https://wayfare-expedition.example/journal/we-turned-back-at-1180-metres/https://wayfare-expedition.example/journal/we-turned-back-at-1180-metres/The April Lyngen party was ninety vertical metres from the summit at two minutes to one.
