Tomorrow, HRH The crown prince is in charge of the inauguration of the new cable between Denmark and Norway. Energinet.dk, Hobro Road 6A, Tjele

"HRH The Crown Prince, together with HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway in charge of the official inauguration of a new submarine cable between Norway and Denmark and two new high-voltage lines, coupled with the connection.
The opening marked by Statnett and Energinet.dk Thursday, March 12, 2015 and take place on Festningsplassen in Kristiansand and at Station Tjele near Viborg. The Crown Prince will be present in Tjele and Crown Prince Haakon will be present in Kristiansand. The official opening will be common to both countries and will be broadcast on the big screen between Norway and Denmark.

The event indicates that a new submarine cable between Norway and Denmark, Skagerrak 4 is clear and that high-voltage lines Kassø- Tjele and Kristiansand Red both are finished."

Together, the new and upgraded power line a distance of approximately 600 kilometers of Jutland in Denmark to Grenland area in Norway. The connection contributes to improved security of supply in the two countries, and makes it possible to transmit more power between countries and thus better exploit renewable energy in both countries.

a very nice collaboration between the two countries

"Crown Prince Haakon could tell that he had a personal relationship with submarine cable:- Because we have cottage right out here, so we sat and looked at that this cable has been laid, said the crown prince, who also invited the Danish crown prince to take his wife and children to see where cable runs."

article from BB

a few more pictures from today and an article
Kronprinser indviede dansk-norsk elmotorvej fra hver sin side af Skagerrak

"When HRH Crown Prince Frederik today, Thursday, in Tjele near Viborg turned on a switch at the same time as HKF Crown Prince Haakon did it in his power in Kristiansand in Norway, put the symbolic time in a brand new elmotorvej between the two countries.
- Spring has arrived in Denmark - there is not much wind, told Crown Prince Frederik to direct a big screen connected to Crown Prince Haakon and guests in Norway. - So today is a good day in Norway, joked Crown Prince Frederik, and not only got the 200 guests in Tjele laugh, but also told about the future power system and the new electricity connection."

"After the official opening, was related to Norway faulted - only TV connection. Stream flows still. And the crown prince and the minister was given a tour of the substation in Tjele and so among other things, how the cable from Norway coming up the ground and where the row with over 500 new high-voltage towers begins and extends down to the Germany border."

This is certainly a worthy endeavor. Congratulations to the two countries.

These are two of the best-looking royal men on the planet. However, Haakon looks so dapper and well put together, but Frederik looks like he just rolled out of bed and into a suit. That's part of his charm, I guess. ;) Or maybe it's a ''man thing.'' My oldest son combs his hair in the morning, and then it's on its own. By the end of the day he looks like Beethoven. :ermm:
 
He most likely did, he and Mary had been to gala dinner with Margrethe and Henrik all night and since it takes at least 5-6 hours to drive from Fredensborg to Tjele it means Frederik must have left home before 6 in the morning :)

Clip was shown i the evening news:
Frederik and Haakon could talk through the screens and it meant a great part of friendly comments. Frederik began with a "Hi Haakon" and waved to him. Haakon told that Norwegians generally are better to ski than Danes, but not in this case and pointed at Frederik. He wished him big congratulations on the great time in Vasaloppet and then joked that a skiing race he is going to attend soon may be just a little more steeply.

Haakon hoped that Frederik took his wife and children along and soon visited him in Norway.

Over on the Order of Sartorial Splendor, whenever a Fred and Mary event is being discussed, some of the women want to tackle him with a hairbrush and comb, some just want to tackle him, period. Still others want to rumple him up even more. All in good fun, or course. :lol:
 
Summary from article in Billed Bladet #11, 2015.
Written by Ulrik Ulriksen.

BB this week is very much devoted to Frederik! (That should delight a member or two, eh, Polyesco?)
That also includes the Vasa run.

Along with 15.000 other skiers Frederik started the 90 km run and his name was very much on top of the list, partly because no SRF members took part and partly because the organizers are more than pleased with Frederik taking part in the run: "It adds some extra sparkle with Crown Prince Frederik".

The first in, a Norwegian (naturally) completed in 4 hours 1 minute and 48 seconds. Frederik came in at 6 hours 54 min. Better than last years 7 h 22 m, but a little worse than his result three years ago when he completed in 6 h 36 m, and two years ago in 6 h 37 m.

But the Swedish press are also pretty pleased with Frederik because he always give an interview right after crossing the finishing line and that he did this year as well: "It was hard. I had hoped for better skiing conditions, but I had greased the skis well and trained hard for the run.
In Denmark I have trained in a machine that is fantastic. And then I have trained on roller-skis and also on skis in snow. I'm super pleased. The mood was fine out there".

But will he challenge Carl-Phillip and Daniel? "I always talk with them and perhaps they'll return and take part in the Vasa-run. Carl Phillip is busy preparing his wedding, so he plenty on his mind right now".

- Much more on Frederik this weekend.

Frederik always adds an extra something in everything he is involved with :p
thanks Muhler:flowers:

Frederik should be very familiar with the water in Roskilde Fjord! The Frogman Corps had it's base there (not sure if they still do) and Frederik would have swam many nautical miles in that fjord during his training. It's quite normal for Frogmen to be dropped in the water up to several kilomters from land and then swim towards shore in a four man team dragging a weapons container between them.
The water is cold most of the year and there a lots of strong currents in Danish waters, which some tourists learn the hard and final way each year..., so the Frogmen often swim ten kilometers even before hitting the beach!
With the mandatory camouflage net over their heads they have an astonishing similarity to seals popping up for a look, even in broad daylight.

Yes and a somewhat more exciting and interesting way to inaugurate a national park than just give a speech and cut a ribbon.

A pity we hadn't time to meet up at the harbor or at Ledreborg Castle. It was a fun day I heard from my acquaintances (despite the rather cold weather) and easy to get close and saying a 'hi' to Frederik.

Tomorrow Frederik helps launch new vision for Danish sports: DIF / DGI Vision 25-50-75.

"The goal of the vision is to get 600,000 more Danes to exercise sport this year 2025th
The target is that 50 percent of Danes are members of a sports club, and 75 percent of the population is physically active. At the start of the project status was that 41 percent of the population was a member of a sports club and 68 percent were active in sports."

A very good objective i think

Several were to cut the ribbon at the same time and Frederik advised them to remember to hold the ribbon with one hand while cutting: "Hold on with your left hand. I have a lot of experience in this".
But, as you can see, it ain't easy!

Just watched the early TV2 evening news - both Frederik and Mary's events were covered.

Frederik was also interviewed in the clip. Would he, Mary and children like to maybe stay at the new hotel next time they visit Bornholm? Yes, they would... and with a wink in the eye.. nooo the green park should be finished first... He also told that Amalienborg is 'greener' than many think.

*

BB video from today. More charming if you understand Danish (Polyesco, Gerry?). But Frederik joked when the red ribbon was to be cut.

All 9 persons lined up in one long row - ready to cut. Frederik explains pedagogical: - "Hold on with your left hand like this. I have a lot of experience in this..."

thanks Roskilde
a very cheerful afternoon. But of course Frederik does light up the room : D
i think with the renovations at Amalienborg a focus was placed on being as 'green" as possible

another BB article
Kronprins Frederik til stor fest på Bornholm | Billed Bladet

"- It's a great day for Bornholm, and I have come here because it's an exciting and sustainable project. A gift to the people of Bornholm, which has been interest from around the world, said Frederick, among other, before he wanted the island congratulations and stated the hotel and conference center officially opened."
