Report and News

Hi dear friends.
Though it was a short notice, we were a group of three who gathered in JM-Hallen and did some Ice Skating.
I bought my shoes in Myrorna for 90 Kronor and the Ice Skating field was free and not that crowded.
It was my firt time, I enjoyed a lot and curently I am hoping for the least pain in my muscles.
For the next week as promised we are going for a two days hike including one night which will be spent in a cottage in the middle of woods.
Since the space is limited and the facilities, the priority goes to the ones who have been on at least one hiking during the new Semester (since sep 2009).
We might have space for the maximum number of 8 people. people who are interested please call me or constance and give a 100% yes latest wednesday 18th. First people contacting are prioretized.
The plan is roughly like this:
70 KM to the north by car, between 10 to 20 kms hiking on Saturday, making fire eating and getting ready for the night, sleeping in the cottage, walking back to the cars hopefully from another path but around the same length on Sunday.
Good sleeping bags. water countainers and food for two days is required.
(If there are so many people interested but no space available for this time, we will make sure to have an other plan like this for them on the same date or soon)

ICE skating

Hi dear hikers! :)

Since ice skating and skiing season is on its way, maybe it is proper to give the ice skating salon in Västerås a try.

Tomorrow it will be rainy and the JM Hallen which is an indoor skating field is open from 17:00 to 21:00.

We can meet by JM Hallen around 17:30 and give ice skating a try or if you have done it before, just enjoy the time together.

Unfortunately they donn't rent out shoes but I personally am ging to buy a pair in Myrorna tomorrow.

Yesterday I was there, they had at least 6 pairs of ice skates from 40 to 300 SEK.

Hope to see you there. (Björn is also going to be there, he can help ones like me who have never tried it before)

The place can be found on the following map.

Have a great evening followed by a fantastic weekend.

Hiking from Skultuna on 7th day of every mounth?

Hi dear friends.

Tomorrow we will take the bus46 at 10:20 (but please be there earlier because it takes time to buy the tickets from the office inside or the machine outside!) towards Skultuna, we get of the bus in the station named Skultuna Kyrkan and then walk back to our home city! :)

You just said: "Come on we have done it before"?

I say: "No!"

We are taking another way rather than Bruksleden which Bjorn has found on the map and will hopefully help us tomorrow to find it easily. (it is tagged as alternative on the map, shown above!)

Extra socks!

Food!

Water!

Good mood!

It will take some time between 4 to 6 hours depending on how much we slow down to jump over a puddle of water or take a picture or make fire, boil water and make tea! ;)

See you tomorrow at the central station of Västerås, some time around 10:00.

Run Along

Hi dear hikers!
I mean both active and passive ones.
Today we had a meeting with some politiciatns from the Västerås city. They were eager to know about students' (especially internation versions) living situation. They asked about the activities we have and we explained about our hiking club too.
One of them was so nice she gave me her card and I did not hesitate one minute to contact her to get more support from the city.
She helped with some contacts and links but she also sent me this link: http://runalong.se .
I suggest you visit it.
We will be back with information about this weeks hiking.
Have a nice Thursday evening
