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.

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

Saturday March 6th

Dear friends!
As far as I know there are so many of us going to the skitrip on Sunday the 7th, organized by the international committee and since we have some other stuff to do such as maybe studying as well.
We keep this Saturday free for those who need some time to study including me myself.
See you on the skitrip
Cheers

Saturday 27

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.
