Härnösand

The three of us went to Härnösand to see if there was any good ice in Vålångerfjärden. It was, and the sun came, a little bit windy. 15km and a coffebreak. On the way home we stopped at Ärlandsfjärden and skated 12km with just a zip of water. We also saw three icehunters, gosh the speed of them. I just wanted to be next to land so the shouldn´t travel over me. Tomorrow we are going there with the club.

My new skates on the ice were we did go on the ice, in Rö.

13 January-Friday

There is a myth about Friday 13, it wasn´t true although. We checked out the ice at the Klingerfjärden, and guess what. Where we had some 25cm snow last weekend, there was now ice, rain warm weather and wind had helped. Anyhow I was just out for about one hour about 12 km no coffee. And if it´s some better ice somewhere else it´s better to go there wirth the rest of the people on Saturday and Sunday.

8th January Juniskär

This day we didn´t go with the club, instead I and E went to Juniskär with two others. Cold but nice weather, during the coffeebreak the sun almost was heating in the face although it was -10 degrees. A nice day in the iceParadaise. The GPS-track showed 25km but back in the car again we discovered that someone parked behind us so we couldn´t go home. Therefore I took 5 km extra to ask the one I thought it was....but it wasn´t him, back to the car again "someone" had left.

At the coffebreak we climbed up at an island with a lots of birdsnest.

7th January Alnön

It was the 4 of ús checking the ice in the Alnösund. Intresting, some really thin ice we couldn´t go on and some okay ice, and also a lot of wreckice. Only 13km, because we didn´t take some coffee I also had time over to go home and change to skies so I took a roundtrip from 300m from our door and back again about 12km also.

6th Januari

The club had a skatemeeting in Juniskär, I logged 20 km. Afterwards we was fewer checking out some thinner ice at Ljungan. I guess we skated around 10km, the older man took a bath outside Bredsand

Juniskär

Klingerfjärden yesterday and Juniskär today. We had a sunny and cold weather -13 degrees. The ice was between 62mm and 25mm... I took a bath at the 25mm part. I asked for a rope because the ice were breaking at my two first attempt to come up. Up and to the beach were I put on some dry clothes, assisted by M. The coldest part is before you get on the dry clothes, I also took some of M:s dry clothes, my wasn´t enough. Then we continued to skate, the others took off to some other ice after the coffee, but I did´nt wanted to. My toes were so cold, changing to ordinary shoes I discovered the plastic shield in my skateshoes wasn´t enough, so my "dry" socks also were wet. Anyhow my feets are okay now, and I´m looking forward to go out again tomorrow. I don´t want to bath though...:-)

And the swimmer ... without bikini...;-)

4th January

Just another great day on the ice. Freezing cold, and a wind. I skated on my new iceskates and they were great. No picture due to my mistake of not having a full warm battery to the camera. No GPS either but I think we went more than 15 km. The ice was not so thick but it was thick enough to skate at.
