Training camp in Gjógv – photos

Machine-translated from Faroese and not yet reviewed. Read the original.

On Friday there was a training camp for those aged fifteen and over. The camp, which was held in Gjógv, was mainly intended as a team-building event. Through games, joint training and hikes, the young athletes get to experience each other in a different way than at everyday training.

On Friday evening Rúni Seloy kindly came to lead the training session, where among other things he made use of the beautiful scenery and, of course, the steps down into the gorge. On Friday evening there was also Gutti’s big quiz, with Island Games questions, world record questions and picture questions. On Saturday morning we went on a hike up into Ambadalur, and in the afternoon there were games in the village. We also had a visit from a nutritionist, who was able to tell the young athletes about good eating habits.

Here are some selected photos:

At 08:30 on Saturday morning we stormed the mountains

Some dashed down to climb up onto Festirsteinur – the only rock in Ambadalur.

Rigmor – the leader of the pack

More fun to slide down than to walk up

After the hike there was a talk by nutritionist Cecilia Arendahl, who also runs for Hvirlan. She is not just anyone. She has completed more than 50 marathons.

After lunch we marched in procession to games in the village

Various games were on the programme. Here it’s the fox and the hen

And here it’s Andreas slicing the cheese

Defend and catch.

Catch the ball – Sunniva is about to get hold of it

It was tough going for the boys here

Urd at the front as Bragdið play tug of war….

…and Treysti and Hvirlan pull on the same rope

Nature makes a good playground – here it’s tug of war with a twist – it can only end badly….

Better athletes! Thanks for this time, and thanks to Gjáargarður

Guttorm was tireless with his shutter finger, and the results can be seen here
