Podcast 147: The Klaksvik Church

On this week's show, we collapse a journey across three countries and five airports into a few seconds, then seek shelter from the storm inside the church in Klaksvik. (Pictured above, and below)

As always, you can listen on iTunes, or download the show directly here:

As the photo above would suggest, it has a spectacular location, but it can be difficult to determine just how to get there. After failing to find a road that leads to the field (yes, a road does exist), our intrepid host abandons his horrible rental car and decides to reach the "stadium" on foot. The results of that hike can be heard on iTunes, or by downloading the show directly here:

And as a little bonus, we've got a short video of our visit to the field...
