Nordic Skating, Dalkarlskärret, Nov 7th

Season 2019/2020 premier on nordic skating on the little marsh lake “Dalkarlskärret” near Uppsala.. Very early start before dawn so we used headlamps initially..

Skating, Singöfjärden, Feb 23rd

Skating with Ricky on Singöfjärden in Roslagen on mostly great ice. We took a loop north up towards Brännäset where we met the open water, and then made our way south-west towards the Singö bridges, before heading back towards Uddhamn, Herräng. The trip was around 33 kilometers in casual pace. Spring is just around the corner!

Skating, Närdingen & Vällen, Jan 6th

Sunday skating with Emil in Uppland.. We made a full run on Närdingen and had company of a fox running over the ice, then continued on Vällen with slightly worse conditions but still enjoyable..

Nordic Skating, Nykvarn, Jan 14th

Me and Magnus skating Sunday morning on three lakes south of Stockholm - Långsjön was a nice start, Norra Yngern a bit too thin ice that day, Måsnaren solid and very scenic..

Skating, Närdingen, Dec 23rd

Me and Ricky headed to Erken on Saturday morning where I though we'd find the full lake nicely frozen, but that turned out not to be the case.. A quick review of maps and we went to Närdingen close by which had really nice conditions, despite the light rain and a few degrees above freezing point.. About 1 hour and some 15 kilometers of skating later we wrapped it up, to get back ot final christmas preparations in Stockholm..

Skating, Dalkarlskärret, Dec 22nd

Skating+Headlamps+Marsh lake in the woods = Win! I ended worked downtown Stockholm, wisked home to get my car and gear, and drove up towards Uppsala to meet up with 6 other skates who were up for a great way to make a little lake into an adventure.. Around -7 degrees, a clear sky filled with stars, a beautiful night..

Nordic Skating, Roslagen, Feb 12th

Morning session with Ricky, first proper run in the archipelago for the season.. We headed off from Hargshamn with a calm wind, sunshine and a blue sky.. Most of the ice was quite thick, enforced by the cold temperature the last 2 days..

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!

Nordic Skating, Ekoln, Dec 17, 2016

A lot of driving in search of ice this day, Erken was still open, Närdingen had some half-decent ice with partially melted and re-frozen snow, Hammarskog had some very nice new clear ice but on a limited area, and from Ryssviken north towards Oxen we could stretch out a bit.

Nordic Skating, Nynäsviken-Vällingen-Långsjön, Dec 3rd 2016

Great Sunday on ice.. Started off with Nynäsviken, inner archipelago premier for the season, then we drove north-west to Vällingen, where the ice was a tad too thin for comfort.. We wrapped up the day on Långsjön, where the surface sang and cracked in a cheerful way..

Nordic Skating, Gisslaren & Tämnaren, Dec 3rd 2016

A short test-run on Lake Gisslaren, with some 4cm of ice under 2cm powder, fairly safe but a tad sketchy for soloing. A bit longer run on Lake Tämnaren, with some 7cm ice but also with some snow and rougher ice at times. In all though, great start of the season in the Uppland/Södermanland area!

Nordic Skating, Blanktjärn, Oct 29th

Premier for the season 2016/2017! Drove to Jämtland Friday night , and unfortunately weather took a bad turn with rain, snow, and wind. But after a few hours of driving and scouting Saturday morning we ended up hiking to Blanktjärn. The ice wasn't great and the lake is small, but still a nice day out and great to be on ice skates again!

Nordic Skating: Gälnan-Lagnö-Husarö - 23rd of Jan

Early start of the Saturday morning, picking up Emil, Ricky & Mikael at 07 and onwards via ferry to Ljusterö for the Lagnö destination.. Temperature up closer to freezing point, still barely any new snow for a long while, so great conditions for some ice skating in the archipelago.. We did a figure 8 lap of 40 kilometres in a mellow pace, enjoying the sceneries. A great day in good company!
