At Rohan, adventure is at the core of everything we do, both in the office and in the great outdoors. Our Staff Stories series brings you real-life experiences from our team members, showcasing their passion for the outdoors and how Rohan gear supports them on their journeys.

Connie’s Norway Adventure

Connie, from our Head Office, recently returned from a fantastic 5-day trip to Norway. Together with her partner, she explored the breathtaking landscapes of Bergen, equipped with Rohan gear to stay warm, dry, and comfortable in the Norwegian weather.

Highlights of Connie's trip included:

- Hiking up Mount Ulriken, the highest of the Seven Mountains surrounding Bergen.
- Taking the scenic Flåm Railway, often referred to as one of the world’s most beautiful train journeys.
- Embarking on a thrilling RIB-Boat Heritage Tour through the fjords of Nærøyfjord and Aurlandsfjord.

Throughout her journey, Connie relied on her Brecon Waterproof Jacket layered over the Vapour T and Tellus Fleece to protect her from the elements. “Once we reached the top of Mount Ulriken, the wind really picked up, but my Brecon Jacket kept me warm and shielded from the chill”.

Her adventure is a true testament to how our gear is designed to withstand even the most unpredictable weather, ensuring every moment of exploration is enjoyed to the fullest.

Connie’s trip highlights how our kit performs in diverse environments. Whether you're layering up for a windy mountaintop or staying warm on a chilly boat tour, Rohan gear ensures you're adventure-ready, no matter the conditions.
