If the ice conditions are good in Uppsala and Uppland we will arrange a Longdistance skating tour with a barbecue on Sunday 8 of February.
Location: Fjällnora nature reserve Fjällnora naturreservat (at the entrance to the rental in Fjällnorastugan)
Time: 8 of Feb at 10:45 am to 2 pm
Get there: By car to Fjällnora, or by bus no. 810 from Uppsala Central Station at 10:00 (Location C2) to Fjällnora (arrives at 10:30) and from there walk about 400 m.
Equipment: Mandatory equipment is long-distance skates and ice spikes, preferably a helmet and weather-appropriate clothing. We also recommend bringing a change of clothes and a seat pad in a rucksack. If you do not have your own long-distance skates and ice spikes, we can arrange for you to hire long-distance skates (including ice spikes) for two hours from Fjällnora's own hire service for a maximum of 15 participants (please note that your size may be out of stock at the rental shop and advance booking is not possible, so bring a pair of extra large socks so that you can fill out a larger size if necessary).
If you are not among the first 15 to register for rental, you may be able to borrow long-distance skates completely free of charge at Fritidsbanken
Level: All levels are welcome to try, but of course it's up to you to handle yourselfe and try on your own if you're a total beginner. The leaders can give you some tips, but they are not educated iceskating-instructors.
Skating: We go for a group tour on the part of the lake that is reported to have safe ice. Then we can divide into different groups depending on how experienced a skater you are. But no one is allowed to skate alone and you always skate at your own responsibility and risk! After a while of skating, you are welcome to the grill for a little barbecue fika. Current ice status can be found on Fjällnora's facebooksida
Fika/Barbecue: After skating, we gather around one of the bonfires, where you can barbecue something you have brought with you.
MAX 15 places (including rent of ice skates)
But if the events becomes fully booked, you are of course still welcome to come join. But since we cannot offer skate rental for free for more than 15 persons, bring your own skates and come anyway!
REGISTER in this form before 5 Feb or as long as there are free spots
