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.
