Text To Win A Trip For Two To Norway To Discover The Northern Lights
6 September 2019, 20:40 | Updated: 9 September 2019, 09:38
LBC is giving you and a friend a chance to win a trip to see the awe-inspiring Northern Lights in Norway.
Get away from it all and unwind with four nights experiencing unspoilt scenery and stunning wildlife, thanks to Exodus Travels.
Flying from London Heathrow, you’ll share a cosy wilderness cabin or Aurora guesthouse, with meals included. A guide will be on-hand to help your group explore the local area including spectacular frozen lakes.
Included in the trip is a visit to nearby island of Andoya, home to some of Norway's most beautiful beaches.
You’ll get the chance to go whale watching, where you can try to spot Humpbacks, Fin and Killer Whales. Then, there’s even more scenery to take in, including spectacular views of the fjord. You might see more fantastic wildlife, such as moose, seals, otters and sea eagles.
If the conditions are right, your guide will help your group track down the beautiful Northern Lights. Needless to say, this far north the Aurora is rarely troubled by light pollution and displays, though never guaranteed, can be extraordinary.
For your chance to win, text the word LIGHTS to 84850. Entries close at 09:00 on 14th OCTOBER 2019.
Texts cost your standard network rate, plus once you've entered we'll do the bit that raises money for all those good causes and automatically take a donation of £3, unless you text CANCEL as instructed in the first text message we send you. 100% of your donation will go to Global's Make Some Noise. You must be 18 or over to take part. UK mobile only. You’re playing across participating radio stations, a full list of which can be found below with age, date restrictions and full Ts&Cs.
