Report of the Skultuna Hike!

Hi!
We were 8 people and did take the bus to Skultuna Kyrkan, walk to Bruksleden and took the path all the way to Västerås.
It started at 10:00 in the central station and finished at 18:30 at the same spot.
The weather was not bad as we expected instead it was actually very good.
We were Bjorn, Melika, Constance, Eva, Marion and Maya, me and Anna if I am not wrong with the spellings.
We had long stops for taking picture or for finding a way to avoid the water or checking the Old Curchs on the way or making fire for boiling the water and making tea! :)
We found some mushrooms and berries on the way.
Some got wet in their shoes but we had fun and we made friends.
Next hikings plan will be posted soon.
Keep on checking the weblog and please leave comments if you feel like.
Have a great start for the week.

Skultuna!

Hi dear Hikers,
We are going to Skultuna in nourth of Västerås on this Saturday.

It will be cloudy and cold on Saturday but as swedes say,

There is no bad weather, there is just bad clothing!

(check the weather forcast websites yourselves please!)
So take rain jackets, warm clothes, extra socks, good shoes.

It gonna be around 18 kms to walk from Skultuna Kyrkan(Point A on the map) to Västerås.
We suggest to meet at the central station at 10:00 in the morning and buy our bus tickets by our mobiles or the ticket machines. (It might take some time, have money on your mobiles or take money or credit card to pay on the ticket machines)

The bus number 46 goes to Skultuna. The ticket will be less than 35 SEK.

We suggest to take the one at 10:20 and get of the bus in the station "Skultuna Kyrkan" which is shown as "Skultuna k:a" in the list of stations in the website http://www.vl.se/ and then reach the red path on the map no.1 from http://www.bruksleden.se/ and take it directly to Västerås. We suggest the purple path on the following picture but check it please on Bruksleden yourselves too.
We expect it to take maximum between 4 to 5 hours to get back in Västerås.
Take enough water and food for yourselves and don't forget your GOOD MOODS at home or if you have been on the trip to Helsinky in Finland or on the way back or any other possible place!

p.s.1. There is an old church (Skerike kyrka) on the way back at the "Point B" that is absolutely worth visiting. p.s.2. The emphasis is taht every body feels the responsibility of checking the posted information too. We suggest you check and choose.

Some Pieces Of Information

Hi everybody.

We did go canoeing and it was fun!

This week weather is like this:

It is not a big problem for hikers but since we are in Autumn and we can still have nice weather I thought we can have a nice after cruise (Helsinki) hiking.

Have a look on the website www.bruksleden.se and check the website www.vl.se and keep in mind the home page: http://www.smhi.se/cmp/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=5236&l=sv

These are mainly our tools of planning a hiking.

So next week on Oktober 10th we will go to either hallstahammar or skultuna by bus and walk back to Västerås.

Feel free to count it as the first official hiking around Västerås.

We will be back with more information and flyers in the school and where you leave.

Have a great weekend and have so much fun.
