Hi everybody! Old and new Members!
Happy New Semester!
On Saturday the 2nd we will go to Björnö, an island near Västerås. There we will go for a walk, ice skate and go sledging. We will have a small bbq as well -Yes we BBQ in winter too!- before taking shelter at the café there.
The aim of this activity will be to present you the Hiking Club and how you can get involve, at the same time we will show you that weather is not a hinder to enjoy the outdoor life in Sweden! And of course it is an opportunity to meet others!
How to get there?
It is possible to walk there or bike but then you should leave quite early.
Bus number 15 in the direction of 'öster mälarstrand' goes there. you should get out at 'stadsträdgården' From there it is a short walk to Björnö.
Here is the timetable:

We will meet at 10:20 at the train station so you can get your bus ticket. (you're more than welcome to buy it before)
What to bring?
WARM clothes! If you got ski pants and jackets, that's great!
Think like an onion! Put layers on!
Don't forget your hat and gloves. And warm socks!!
Bring a snack and water.
Bring a pair of ice skates!
You can buy cheap ones at the 2nd hand shops in town like myrorna! They cost around 75 crowns.
It is possible to rent some at Team Sportia. They are located in Igor, the shopping center on Vasagatan.
What NOT to bring?
We will take care of the BBQ. So you don't need to bring anything. :) Please send me a pm if you are vegetarian or don't eat pork so I get an idea of how much food I'll need to buy.
We will bring the sledges as well.
