Nordic Skating, Båven, Jan 28th

Another 50 kilometer run on the Båven lake in Södermanland.. Myself, Jon & Ricky headed off at around 08.15 and throughout the morning the light fog and frosty trees created a mystical atmosphere.. The ice was mostly great but in many of the straits we hade to make our way around ice rifts..

Nordic Skating, Lake Båven, Jan 15th

Amazing day of Nordic Skating on Lake Båven.. Me and my brother headed off from Sparreholm just before sunrise and covered 50 kilometers with fantastic ice conditions.. About as good as it gets!

Kayak Sailing, Lake Båven, Oct 8th-9th

 

Late autumn kayak sailing, with fairly warm weather for the season.. Started at Sparreholm on the north-western side of Lake Båven and made my way sailing and paddling south to Fiskarbolsholmarna where I camped for the night. Pretty challenging sailing conditions with a breeze mixed with fairly strong and sudden gusts..

Kayaking, Båven, 5th-6th of Oct

 With the Mercury in K2 configuration, we headed to lake Båven, a famous, quite big, wilderness lake in Sörmland.. It has countless inlets, islands, sounds and dwindling areas, and is as popular for kayaking in the summer as for xc-ice skating in the winter.. Now, late in the autumn, it is rather desolated and we enjoyed great paddling in a southern area and camped with tent on a small island..

XC-Skating, Båven, 22nd of Jan

Not nearly as good conditions as previous skating trips this year, as there was now a fairly thick layer of snow on the ice.. Still, nice to see lake Båven which is supposed to be one of the best for this sport in Sweden, and it does show some promise.. Distance was very short, but we managed to have a "fika" just when the sun showed itself for a few minutes during the day..
