Get out there

Soaring more than 3,000ft above your mast, the vast cliffs of Norway's southern fjordland are a stupendous sailing backdrop, particularly in summer, when snoozing seals bask on the rocks below and snow-melt waterfalls thunder down the cliffs. This is Viking country, and nowhere is the spirit of Thor more palpable than when flying along these shores aboard a 78-year-old. 80ft teak and mahogany ketch, with more than 2.000 sq ft of wind in your sails. It's crewed and skippered by experts, and everyone is welcome, from beginners to old hands. Classic Sailing (01872 580022, www.classic-sailing.co.uk) has seven nights, full-board, for £ 1,500. Fly to Stavanger with SAS (0870 6072 7727, www-flvsas-cnm)
