Whilst out running in Oslo last week I kept coming across groups in the park lobbing wooden batons at a selection of wooden cuboids stood in a rectangle. I had no idea what they were up to. Lo and behold, what should come up on the Today programme this morning but the game of Kubb. Perhaps I’ll buy a set next time I’m over there. Could be tricky with just hand luggage though!

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006Room allocation
Wednesday, July 19th, 2006One tip if you find yourself staying here but, like me, out of town during the day. Don’t pay the exorbitant prices to stay in the hotel car park as parking on the surrounding roads is free between 5pm and 8am. If you fancy a lie in you can always put money on a meter the night before.
