Wilderness is closing in again.

Early this morning a Lynx was on the beach some click south of Nordmarken Canoe Center. Very sharp tracks in the snow and I have had indication of lynx is the surrounding several times the last month but difficult to track without snow.

To all our friends.

This is not normal. We use to have snow and ice at Nordmarken Kanot Center this time of the year, but nature is working against us who love real winter. So have a look at the canoe bay and I do hope it will be better.

“May the winter be with you”

Jag saknar snö och kyla

Just nu är vintern borta i Nordmarken. Vi denna tid för ett par år sedan var det kallt, bra med snö och varje dag en flock rådjur utanför kontors fönstret, Det var 12 st. som mest på en gång och vi hade namn på de flesta . Storbocken, Horn Pär, den lille, de tres gäng mm. Nu hittar de mat i skogen ändå eftersom det är bar mark så vi lägger inte ut stöd foder.

Efter 16780 kilometer äntligen åter i Sweitzerland. Respect.

Under sommaren 2015 hade vi ganska många gäster med en del specialiteter. I dag kom en hälsning från ett par som bodde på Bed and Breakfast hos oss ett par dager för att vila lite,

Nu kom en fin hälsning efter att de kört genom 26 olika länder under 365 dagar och totalt cyklat 16.780 km. Imponerande. Det finns i dag folk som påstår att saker kan vara jobbiga men jag tror att har man den rätta inställningen så går det att genomföra otroliga ting

Modern time !

Today in the local News Paper there was one of my photos from an expedition I made to North West Greenland several years ago. On a brake on the ice some Inuit show me what children had to play with in the Igloos during winter time. The reason to send it to the local News Paper was they were asking for funny photos and the text to this was “We Inuit don’t need Internet we have our own Net”

100% canoing 30 years after start of the Macfie Canoe Club

The famous Macfie Canoe Club has had their thirty years anniversary. About fifty members came for the weekend north of Karlsborg all very experience canoers. Paddling Trading, Stories and
I´m very sorry that we from Nordmarkens Kanot Center didn’t had the time to come to the meeting.

Paddling is not only a business for us as a canoe outfitter it´s a life style. 
I´m proud to present a photo, from one of the members, of the group last weekend´s rendevous, folks who now how to swing a paddle.

Some of the last entusiasts

Right now there are more mushrooms and berries than canoers in Nordmarken. This small group is back. Some was here several years ago and now they are out for a fishing and canoe tour.
The temperature in the water are getting lower and lower every day so the fishing gets better and better. I wish them in Swedish “Skit fiske” a word we fishermen use to let our guests have a good fishing and time in the wilderness.

This afternoon we got some more guests and we now have folks from Germany, Norway, Portugal and Sweden  so a bit international at Nordmarken Canoe Center this week.
