report on the 37th trip by Walter Abbott

Saturday September 11 marked the first excursion of the hiking club. A group of 11 brave souls set off on a trek that they will surely all remember for a very long time.

We headed north along the bike path that is right by the school, headed past ABB stadium and then again continue

d our northward progress. Our hike lead us through a very neat little Colonyplot and we got to see many beautiful sights that are

hidden in the remote swedish country side. The Hike lasted from about 10am to 6pm and we covered a distance of approximately 23km. Rain was forecast for the whole day, but we got very lucky and it only rained just a little mist for a while. After a long day of lively conversation and lovely scenery we finished our journey at a church, where we caught a bus back to Vasteras. The journey was a great success and the next trip will be one that you certainly don't want to miss.

37th trip, Sep 11th

Let's meet at the main entrance of the school on Saturday the 11th at 10 sharp.
We walk on bruksleden (www.bruksleden.se) towards Skultuna. It might not take longer than 5 hours to reach the cottgae.
There is place for 8 people to sleep in the cottage in their own sleeping bags and there are already this number of people who have registered for it in the last meeting we had on friday the 3rd..
Others who join can bring their own tents and stay outside or get the bus back to Västerås.
There is a bus going for a church nearby (3 km) every 70 minutes.
I think we can take the bus at 17:27 if not the next one will be good enough.
The others who sleep over the night in the cottage or tent! can choose to walk back to Västerås or take the bus the day after which starts from 9 in the morning but is not so often.
Good shoes, proper clothes and enough food and water is very very important.
For any further questions contact me. 070 74 17 386 - mahgol.amin@gmail.com
The temperature will be between 13 and 18 C and there is a risk of rain up to 2 mm.

New school year 2010 - 2011

Hi every body, new and old! :)

We welcome you here if it is your first time visiting our weblog.

As you can find out from a fast browse on our older posts you find out that we have had at least two activities each month for the last two years but, this year, Constance is not sure about her plans, Melika and Björn have not set any plans and I am going to be working and studying at the same time and have a kind of tight schedule and there has been no body volunteer to help out yet.

So we have just four major activities planned for the whole school year of which two of them are ready to release now.

There will be two three-days trips, one in September and one in November. If we get enough budget from the International Committee, these trips will be free of charge for the students and the costs will be covered by the IC, if not then the costs will be divided between the participants.

Let say we go on Friday the 10th of September and come back on Sunday the 12th for the first one. We stay in cottages in the woods. The trip includes a hiking of at least 30 km in total.

The one in the November looks to be between 12th and 14th.

We will come back to you as soon as possible with more details.

Dont hesitate to contact us if you can help us out or you need to be helped out :)

Have a nice continue of the summer.

Hiking Trip on Saturday 29th of May

This weekend we want to follow two parts of the Bruksleden, that means etapp12 and etapp13.
This will be a very nice round trip in the region of Trummelsberg - Landsberget - Bastmora. We will meet at the main entrance at the university at 10 and will go there by car. At the moment we have one car, that means place for 5 people. If you want to join please contact me (mantzi@gmx.de). The weather forecast says it will rain a little bit, so be prepared to have a rain jacket and take some dry clothes we can leave in the car. And of course something to drink and to eat. :)
Here is the link for our way:

Rarely on Sunday

Hello everyone,

I cannot do any hike on saturday because our national hockey team will play great match against Swedish one on Saturday at 14:00 on Ice Hockey World Championship. But I have free Sunday so I decided to do some trip on Sunday. We (I hope somebody will join me) will go by bus to Skultuna Kyrka at 9:05 from Västerås Centralstation. We will have whole day to get back to Västerås by walk. It is around 20 km. I thing it will take at most six hours. Mahgol told me there could be a lot of water in the forest so take good shoes and don´t forget some snack and enough water. If somebody is interesed, please, let me know and send me an e-mail (j.sukup@centrum.cz).

While we are not here

Hi dear friends.
finally it feels like some thing between summer and spring has reached Sweden. This country is beautiful. Enjoy the blossoms and light green leaves, they gonna turn to dark green leaves kind of fast. Spring is so short here in Sweden. Enjoy it as much as you can.
Today Honza (j.sukup@centrum.cz), got some maps and suggestions to do hikes from me.
He said he is ready to go on some hikes during next couple of weeks since he does not have so much to do and he is interested in hiking.
Contact him if you want to go with him.
We promise to have so much fun in Iran. We are finally a group on 8 people going from Västerås. We will have a hiking there and the report will be published here.
Cheers

Saturday the 9th

This weekend based on two main reasons there are no hikings planned by the hiking club.
1. Constance has not been here in Sweden.
2. Many students are going to Stockholm with Internation Committee so as we said before, we try not to overlap with IC plans.
I will be in Iran for next two weekends and one week after I am in France so there will be no plans from my side. Lets see what Constance does though she is alos in Iran with me the week after.
Keep on checking the blog.
Cheers
Mahgol
p.s. a tip for those who want to go in the nature in this nice weather. You can always call us or write to us and we can provide you everything we have, from maps to GPS or you can just easily find the information on the blog or the group on facebook from the archive.

Report on the hiking on Saturday May 1st

It was such a nice day!
Thanks to Umesh, Constance, Melika, Björn, Eric, Mahgol, Tomas, Christiane and Clover.
We gathered and met at student kåren at 9 in the morning, drove to north of Västerås and walked almost 20 kms and marked the svartådalens vandringsled. We devided in two groups and Eric provided all the material. There is a nice picture of us at the meeting point.
Next week might be a canoeing/Camping plan. We were back in Västerås at around 8 in the afternoon a long but nice day.
Check the blog and the group in facebook more often not to miss it.

fredag 30 april 2010

Hello again!
Sammy decided to sleep after he partied Valborg in Uppsala! :) so we are ten people.
Eric is going to pick up Christiane, Tomas and Markus from Park Hotel at 9:00. Constance, Umesh, Melika and Bejörn will come to student Kåren at 9:00 and Mahgol and Clover are already there, finished with the work they started early tomorrow morning.
Constance says that sometimes I repeat everything too many times but I really think I need to do it again:
The weather will be cold, windy and rainy and the ground will be wet. Please try to wear good(waterproof) shoes. Bring one extra pair of shoes and socks if you don't have rubber boots. If it rains we are not going to use the paint and brush to mark the way but if not then be aware that your clothes might get painted so wear those taht you don't mind having them with some paint spots on them.
Take enough water and food with yourself and know that we are going to cut extra branches of the trees and make small bridges so it gonna be hard but hopefully fun with your good moods.
Eric has bought saws and axes but bring yours if you have by any chance. :)
Any questions? contact me or constance. our contact information is at the bottom of the page.
see you tomorrow
Mahgol
p.s. Umesh I don't know wheer do you live. If you live closer to park tahn school you can also be at Park Hotel at 9 sharp and go with Eric, Christiane, Tomas and Markus.

torsdag 29 april 2010

Hi dear friends, concerning the hiking on this Saturday, there are three updates:
1- we got another car so we have place for 15 people of which 11 is already booked.
2- people who are already registered are: Bjorn, Melika, Constance, Clover, Mahgol, Tomas, Markus, Christiane, Eric, Umesh, Samy.
3- Since Clover and I are working on the early morning of Saturday we would like to move the meeting point and meeting time to 9 o clock in front of the student Karen in the university area but please just keep it in mind and check the final decision on friday.
Think about having rubber boots or extra shoes and socks.
Cheers
Mahgol

måndag 26 april 2010

Dear hikers,
Here is some information about the exciting hiking on this Saturday (May 1st)
We are going to gather by Park Hotel at 8 O'clock in the morning and get the instructions from Eric who is taking care of this program. We need to drive somewhere 30 to 40 KMs in north of Västerås so we need to know who is coming for sure to think about a place for him/her.
Right now we have two cars (Björn and Eric), Melika, Mahgol, Constance, Clover and Krista are following for sure. It leaves three free spaces. I will see if we can get one more car then more 5 people can join.
And as always our policy is: First-come, first-served so please be the first who calls me and books a place:
070 74 17 386
If you have access to car you can join as a whole group of 5 people but in that case you still need to let me know about it.
We will probably be out for 10 hours and need to have enough water, food and cookies with ourselves. It is highly recommended to have rubber boots because it will be extremely wet in the woods and having working gloves, clothes that if they get painted you don't mind so much and warm clothes in case it gets cold are required.
Eric will try to bring axes, saws and knives but if you have any please take it with you. We will mark the hiking way by paint and brush, cut extra branches of the trees on the way, make or repair the bridges and walk all the way to make sure it looks fine.
(We will make marks like the orange one in the first picture and fix bridges like the one in teh second, though the pictures are taken from Bruksleden's homepage)

fredag 16 april 2010

Hi dear friends.
This weekend there will be no hikes but we have made a report booklet about the hiking club. Some pictures will be printed and we will have a table in the student open exhibition which is on Tuseday next week in the university.
Please come and be with us at your own table next week.
Have a nice weekend
Mahgol and Constance.

Saturday the 10th!

This weekend we are going to this place:
I have got the picture from this address.
If you want to know where it is on the map, just simply go to maps.google.com and type (lövudden,västerås, sverige) then you will ge to know where it it.
According to google maps it is just 5.5 kms and it takes 1 hour to walk there.
We have been there before and we know that there is fire places available but bring your own food to BBQ. according to the weather forcast it is not going to be so warm but sunny.
Since there is the ski trip the day before and some people may be too tired to wake up early and since some might party the night before lets meet 10:30 at the main train station, walk to the place, make fire and enjoy our time.
The way back is kind of easy so any body is free to go back when he/she feels like but I think we will go back around 4.
Please bring any outdoor games you have. such as balls or badminton bats or ....
See you there
Cheers
Hiking club

Report on the Easter hike!





Hi dear hikers.
last week on Saturday the 3rd we were four people who got the train and went to Surahammar!
Mahgol, Maryam, Constance and Honza. But there in the station we met another happy friend: Patricia!
We went to a very nice spot on Bruksleden and got a long lunch rest in the warm sun.
We walked back to Surahammar and got the bus back at 20 past 5.
Those who wanted to come and didn't missed a lot since all of us got free BBQ stuff and the hiking club covered the trips because it was Easter!
Happy Easter!

this week...

Hi dear Hikers!
It looks like it is going to be a good weather on Saturday this weekend.
Me and Constance thought that it would be good to go for a loop around Surahammar. She has done it before but I have never been on this hike.
We need to take the train to Surahammar and from there we go on Bruksleden Hiking Treck and then take the bus or train back to the beloved Västerås.
The preliminary plan is to meet at the central station at 10:00 and take the train to Surahammar. It takes us half an hour to reach Sura.
We walk for around 6 hours, making 17 kms walk and take the bus back to Västerås at 17:22 and will be in Västerås at 17:45.
Not only good shoes, extra socks, good mood, enough water and food is REQUIRED but also coins to buy tickets from the machine or coming earlier to the station to buy tickets from the office in the station is also very important otherwise you have to buy the ticket more expensive onboard.
Please chek the blog the night before hiking for any possible changes.
Cheers
Mahgol
p.s. This is the map of the loop we gonna make:

Report on last and info about the next HIKING


Hello all!

Last Saturday was a combination of
Nice weather,
Nice people and
Nice ending!

We met at the main entrance with some minutes of delay by Constance and me! :)
We walked to the church as planned, had a lunch break in the Church yard and walked towards Hallstahammar on Brukslden. Just at the begining of the traktor way we found out the way was not touched and the snow was kind of deep and melting... so we had a polling round if we should go back the same way to västerås and make the summation of 14 KM or be more adventurous and go a little bit further. So we continued and ended up on 66 towards Västerås. We entered Västerås from Erikslund, did some shopping and then walked towards Clovers place to visit her oppen hous. We were welcome as always, got some dry socks, tea, coffee, pie and some other good snacks and then walked back to the city centrum.

It was a nice day, thanks to all who joined. Correctme if I miss spelled a name:
Constance, Tobbias, Mahgol, Ligaj, Liudmila, Vaida, Katty and Iryna. Oh I almost forgot Teddy who almost evrybody got the chance to enjoy his company at least for some moments.
For this weekend there is no plan fixed yet! I have too much to do but I will talk with Constance but if there is already any body who can take over the responsibility of planning, we will be happy to help with giving him/her the GPS, maps and all the equipments.
Please contact me or Constance in this regard by email or phone which can be found at the bottom of this page.
Cheers
Mahgol
p.s. the meeting with VSIF was really good. they are nice people who are eager to have more international students taking part in their activities. www.vsif.nu
They have their website in English as well.
We are going to have a meeting with them with all the fadders soon, let see if we can make something fun out of it.
These nice pictures are taken by Ligaj. Special thanks to him.

Report on last week and a little information about this weekend!

Hi dear fellow hikers!
Last week was amazing. We were a group of people called: Quentin, Tobias, Björn, Melika, Ludmila, Ligaj, Anna, Constance and Chandra. :)
We had good luck with weather and fantastic view during the lunch time, at the lake with fishermen who had drilled the ice. Here are some pictures of the nice day on Ängsö. by the way if any body is interested in riding horses on the island, here is the link to the related website and they have it very nicely translated to German and English. http://www.engsohastar.se/
I think they are too expensive for a group student activity but for those who can, please go on and check the website. Please let me or Constance to know if you needed any help with calling, finding the way or anything else.


And about this weekend.
I beasically thought. It would be best to go somewhere without the need to the cars so that we just walk from the city center or the central station.
I am thinking about a nice shurch called Skrike in nourth west of Västerås about 8 kms walk which if we make it two ways it becomes 16 kms and I think it is kind of lagom! :)
More detailed plan comes later.
If you have any suggestions please let me know by email or phone.
Cheers
Mahgol
p.s. by the way I am going to have a meeting with the guys in VSIF, the school's sport association on Friday. Maybe some activities together with the Swedish students in close future? They are interested in us, I mean the VSIF. :) We will see.

March 13th

Hi dear friends!
I hope the ones who have done skiing today, have enjoyed it.

Hubert has decided to take us to a ski trip again in one mounth. I would love to follow.
Yesterday Melika, Bjorn and me were on Ängsö. It is an island in south east of Västerås and it is a very nice place. We went for a 5 to 6 kilometer walk and I personally enjoyed it alot. It was just a spontanious call from Melika and Bjorn so no offense for those who wanted to go hiking but we had no plans for this day.
Any way the whole point is that we have to go to this place by car because the bus or train does not go there and it is at least 20 kms from Västerås.
So


I need to know how many people and who is planning to follow, latest on thursday the 11th so that I can check with the car availability.
You need to write an email to me to the adress mahgol.amin@gmail.com including mobile number so that I can get back to you on phone.
This will be a little bit hard to plan because I am going to the Talin cruise as well. So please help to have a nice hiking on next Saturday.
Best wishes and love to you all
Mahgol

This Saturday we will go to björnö by bus or car or bycicle and we meet at 10 o'clock in front of teh restaurant on the island then we walk all around the island. the way is 10km long and I believe the path are free from snow. An easy one!!
Don't forget warm clothes (again and again) and food. We won't have a BBQ but will stop at the end at the restaurant for a fika so bring your money.
As we will walk near björnöbron, some of you might want to take the opportunity and try ice skating. (please refer to our previous posts to buy them in Myrorna).
you can take the bus line 98 (or 15 if you're late) from the train station to "stadsträdgården" and then walk until björnö's restaurant: http://www.vl.se/template/StartPageBus____3658.aspx
You're free of taking any bus you want on the way back. from björnö (around 15:00 or 18:00) or from stadsträdgården.
There might be chance to get a lift from those who have car, please call Mahgol if you are interested in that. 070 74 17 386
hope to see you there

Report

You are wondering if we did do the hiking on Saturday withe the storm which was kind of obvious in Västerås.
I have to say that yes we did and there are two pictures as evidance.
I personally think it was really fun though it was so ooo ooo ooo cold and the wind and the snow up to our hips in some points...
We started walking from the parked cars aroun 10 and got back in the cars aroun 4. so it was a long hiking. This picture is taken by Honza in the same spot almost just after the beginning and the ending of the hike.
Thanks to Eric, Bjorn, Tobias, Melika, Ayse, Christoph, Honza and Yigit who made it a very nice day.

Deep in Snow, Saturday the 20th

Hi dear friends!
As said before we are going to nature this week with a guide who is working with the nature reserved areas around Västerås.
We are going by car to somewhere around 30 kms far from Västerås and go to the woods.
Good shoes, extra socks and good pants are highly recomended.
bring your lunch and fikas, good moods and lets enjoy.
We will not push ourselves so hard. So we will try to go as far as we can and then turn and come back. Eric said taht there will be roads around taht we can just jump to them if we had any problem.
Just right now we have access to three cars and Tobias, Melika, Bjorn, Ayse, Mahgol and Eric have already registered to follow.
Please send me a message if you want to come.
070 74 17 386 Mahgol
We meet on saturday the 20th at 9 o clock in front of park hotel and then just follow Eric. (If you want to come but live far from Park hotel just let me know maybe we can fix a lift for you)
See you soon

Report on the last and information about the next hiking!

The last hiking (Valentine 2010) was amazing! At least I think so.
We ended up in a group of 15 cool people and we had so much fun.
The place we stayed in (www.flackebo.se) was placed in a beautiful area and the lady who was taking care of it (Elisabeth) was so kind and smart.
I should thank everybody for their good humor and helps to make an amazing 26 hour of fun, sport, joy and adventure.
I will post a picture of the whole group later but there are a bunch of pictures and videos already on facebook for those who are on facebook and for those like me who are not, it comes here later.
People, please send me some of your pictures since I am making an archive of our hikes and it would be nice to have some of your group or even any nice pioctures you like them.
And about next week: (Feb the 20th)
-----------------------------------------------
Yes we have Eric who is working for the nature reserved area called svartadalen and he is going to be our guide. I bet it gonna be interesting since he can tell us about the history, plants, birds and other kind of animals that live along the river which also goes through Vasteras.
Please check the website more often since this hiking might be also one of those we have to know who is following in advance because we might need to drive some where by car and meet Eric somewhere along the river but not in Vasteras.
and I have to say in advance that it can be including some walking in deep snow so you need sort of waterproof, warm pants and good shoes.
And it can be tough. more details comes later.
have a great start of the week
Sincerely
Mahgol
I will talk to him tomorrow and

onsdag 10 februari 2010

Hi!

Bad organization? Maybe! So help us to make it better.

Today at 14:00 in Kåren was the meeting and people who showed up or called or wrote to me are:

Constance, Ayse, Tomas, Melika, Bjorn, Tobias, Diego, Yigit and Clover.

Batu is following with his car. Including me it makes 11 people.

We have space for 16 people.

We had Ruben and his two friends in the waiting list, and Christoph and Elham also got on the waiting list. (It makes another 5 that makes it 16 people)

Just right now it looks like Merve, Efe, Albertus, Jongman and Hwajeong have decided not to come, if it is not true and you wish to come PLEASE contact me on my phone 070 74 17 386 today latest 12 midnight since if not those who I mentioned above will just jump in. (this is the absolute last notice!!!!!!)

About the timing a little bit more details: We drive from Västerås around 17:00 on Friday. We have three cars and we are thinking of picking up people from their accomodations. Then we are going to do some shopping in a big store like coop extra or ica maxi since we need to have one dinner, one breakfast and one lunch.

Then we drive to Fläckbo and settle down and have fun (so don't forget the playing cards or musical instruments if you have any and alcohol if you want to drink). During the night we will have a short adventurous night hiking around the cottage and the day after a 2-3 hours hiking around the lake where the cottage is located at.

Then we get lunch and drive back to Västerås. It is obvious taht the hikings are not obligatory so you can come and stay in teh cottage.

Ware paying 1500 SEK for the Cottage and you don't have to pay it but since it is the half of the whole of the budget we have got for the whole year, it would be nice if you pay your share which will be 100 SEk but it is absolutely not obligatory.

We will have real beds and madrasses and pillows and blanckets so you don't need to bring any sleeping bags with you.

Any questions? don't hesitate to call me or Constance.

måndag 8 februari 2010


Hello every body!

The last hiking was a hard but fun one. Thanks to Ayse, Merve, Ruben, Diego, Clover, Markus, Jackie and Teddy who made it a very pleasant day.

I have not recieved any pictures from this hiking yet but we were in snow up to our hips at some points and thanks to those who went as leader in front we survived!

And this weekend. The cottage we are going to stay in this friday night is booked.

we will drive there so no long hiking but the day after you can choose to follow for hiking or stay in the Cottage and wait for the others who go and do the hiking and come back and then we can drive back to Västerås all together.

The place is called Fläckbo and is located 40 kms from Västerås on Svartådalen. Google them if you are interested.

There is a picture of our cottage on top!

It has facilities to cook and has two fire places, it has showers and beds!!!! :)

I need to see all of you who have registered to come along on Wednesday the 10th at 14:00 in Kåren. It is obligatory and you have to call me or write me an email if you can not join the meeting with a very good reason otherwise you will loose your place and some one else on the waiting list jumps in.

Valentine hiking! 12th-13th february

Hi dear friends,
Well, it looks like we are already fully booked.
The list is closed.
For those who are on the list and decide not to come, we ask them to do let us know as soon as possible, at least 4 days before friday the 12th, so that others who want to follow but have not got the chance, get their place.
Mahgol, Tomas, Melika, Bjorn, Tobias, Constance, Diego, Yigit, Merve, Efe, Ayse, Albertus, Jongman, Hwajeong, Clover.
Now! For those who think it is just fun, we have to say that it is not!
It is F... Cold!
We will keep shifts to look after the fire every hour and still it will be cold.
You need very good sleeping bag. We will try to warm the cottage but our experience is that it gets warm exactly before we want to leave the cottage, the day after.
We have already two cars but we need one more car. So please if you have access to one car let us know and the costs will be covered by the hiking club.
Did you just ask yourself, "were we not supposed to go by bus?" The answer is no, because we will go somewhere else where the cottage is a little bit bigger and the place is one hour drive from Västerås.
The details will be published latest 7th next week.
Yours Sincerely
MDH Hiking Club

hi everybody
now we are ready with the schedule of next four hikings.
- Saturday the 6th we go by bus to Skutuna and walk back to our beloved vasteras. It is not a long hiking and it might take us around 5 hours considering the snow and picture taking time spendings.
- Saturday the 13th is a little bit different, we go by bus to some where near Skultuna with the last bus on Friday the 12th and we get to the cottage or cabin which can host max of 11 people really packed! then the next morning we walk to Surahammar. it takes around 6 hours and we get the bus back to lovely vasteras on Saturday.
Ones who want to join need to let us know at least one week before.
- Saturday the 20th we go by bus to Hallstahammar and walk back to Vasateras and it takes around 7 hours.
- Saturday the 27th, we will go to Angso. The plan is not realy set in detail but we will do it soon.
This hiking is also just for a limited number of people the max of 15. So you need to let us know about it one week in advance.
We come back to you with more detailed information soon.
Thanks to those who joined the meeting today.
Have a nice week

I personally loved it. It was so much fun and I am looking forward for more such hikes.
Today we are going to meet and decide about four upcoming hikes and I hope many of you show up. at least those who got to know about it on the rookie hike.
I will post the results of the meeting soon.
to those who had camera with them and took nice pictures:
Could you please be kind and send me (mahgol.amin@gmail.com) the pictures? I would make a clip of them or try to upload them somewhere so that others can have them too.
With Love and best wishes

A New start

Hi dear fellows!
Now, I mean exactly today, the school has got a new life and the students, Old and New are running all around the university.
On Thursday there will be a Mingle Evening for the New commers and we are going to have 5 minutes time to intrduce ourselves.
We had some good suggestions that we are going to discuss in the first monthly meeting (this is also something new) the exact time of which will be announced later.
I am looking forward for a "hike ful" and "fun weekended" semester.
Keep checking the blog
Cheers
