XC-Skating, Trosa Archipelago, Sat 26th of Jan

After a period of cold weather and no snow, the outlook was good for some proper skating out in the archipelago.. I headed to the Trosa Archipelago with Emil and we were far from dissapointed.. We started from Kallvik and headed nort-east towards Kockelskar.. Grey skies, fairly windy,  but we  found often great but sometimes challenging ices in beautiful and serene surroundings.. With the open sea near and big waves coming in under the ice, it billowed up and down, fascinating but slightly disconcerting.. Twice I thought I would swim but managed to turn around just in time.. We spotted a couple of Sea-Eagles and 3 mooses walking between islands.. It was a good day, hoping for many more..

Kayaking, Trosa Archipelago, Oct 29th-30th

Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon kayaking trip with Emil.. We started from Trosa and paddled south-east in calm waters under a sunny sky.. Camped on "Godahoppsudden", beautifully located on Askö.. Grey skies and some light rain on Sunday, but still very chilled paddling.. Apart from the short days, it's almost nicer now than in the summer, as the archipelago is quite desolated.. Back in Trosa, we took a little city tour in the creek, and then wrapped up the trip with some well-deserved fast-food..

Kayaking, Trosa-Askö, 9th-11th of July

48 hour kayaking trip with the lady in the Trosa Archipelago.. Heading out on Saturday noon from Trosa past the nice Storsand beach on Askö, 1st camp in the shooting range area.. On Sunday we rounded the south point with some fairly challenging waves rolling in from the open sea.. 2nd Camp next to Bockholmen.. Total distance about 36 km..

Kayaking, Trosa Archipelago, 2nd-4th of June

3 day/2 night solo kayaking trip in the archipelagos south of Trosa.. Started at Studsvik and spent the following days slowly cruising around in the beautiful scenery of the nature reserves in the area.. Nice mix of open waters as well as more sheltered areas.. Mostly sunny but at times fairly windy.. Plenty of birdlife.. I'll be back again..
