So far no Snow , no Ice

We who loves winter time have a problem right now at Nordmarken Kanot Center. There are now snow and no Ice in the bigger lakes. Early in the morning there is a fine fog over the lakes and island around or Base Camp in Risviken. We use to have some people hiring our Wilderness House Bockudden for winter fishing but so far no guests at all and no winter fishing. The next couple of weeks there will be a bit colder and I do hope for some ice and snow.

Its always nice with repeat business

This time of the year the end of January there is not much going on at a canoe and Wilderness Center like Nordmarkens Kanot Center I Årjäng.

But there is some repeat business like this. Two guys came late October for two canoe tours; they were out for 5 days both times. In January they return for real wilderness hike wintertime. This time also 5 days out in cold and snow. They made a very good tour,
We also have regulars who are coming 2-4 times a day. It’s a deer and we know him very well now. The young buck is not afraid and he is just outside our office eating of potatoes- and carrots peelings.

Norge är inte bara skidåkare.

Det finns en fin älv. Det finns ett gäng entusiaster, friluftsfolk, markägare, kommun folk m.fl.
Den 9/1 hade jag blivit inbjuden visa hur vi inom DANO kanotområde ordnat det för gästande kanotister. Det blev två Powerpoint föredrag med många bilder, text, idéer, råd och erfarenheter.
Man vill i Trögstad kommun i Norge öppna upp en älv för paddling och friluftsliv. Ca 60 personer kom på mötet och det var intressant, att både se och höra den entusiasm som tydligt framgick på mötet från både markägare, och andra intressenter.
Min kanotkarta blev uppskattad och kan ligga till grund för en liknande när man fått klart älven för paddling och friluftsliv. Respekt.

New ideas for outdoor life winter time.

Now we have fine sunny weather and a bit cold. To the North of us in Glaskogen where we sometimes arrenge real wilderness tours there is some snow ca 20 cm. Tomorrow there are two guys who will start a 4-5 days tour by foot. They made a fine canoe tour in October in the same area and now they will try the area again wintertime.
The last couple of days there has been some very nice sundown, red clouds and a lot of stars night time to be seen.
