Augusti 2023
Augusti var det ja. Drog förbi i en rackarna fart som vanligt. Ett par onsdagspaddlingar fick vi till och så Stockenträffen. Annars en hel del cykling hemma, skogshäng, bad osv. Kantarellerna exploderade. Det blev även en del Hallon, Blåbär och Björnbär plockade. Lite Havtorn också ute hos Vita Vråken. I odlingarna hemma har det plockats…

Onsdagsplasking Verholmen
Litt tidligere i høst inviterte klubben til onsdagspadling, en dag det var litt gråvær med nordavind. Tre stykker ble med til Verholmen, der det er fint å øve litt i vind og bølger. Nå var det en stund siden sist jeg padlet Boring (NDK Pilgrim), så jeg benyttet anledningen til å få luftet den. Det…

Onsdagspaddling 6 september
Riktigt go onsdagspaddling med ÄSSS. Helt oskrynkligt vatten på vägen ut mot Magnarps hamn. Där träffade vi på Lars & Anneli för lite gött snack innan vi plaskade tillbaka. Riktigt fint kvällsljus och lite motvind på tillbakavägen. Inlägget Onsdagspaddling 6 september dök först upp på kajak.nu.

Sensommarmorgon
Riktigt fina morgonstunder nu. Lite dis och dimma. Fukten gör att alla fina spindelnät syns. Idag fyra Tranor strax nedanför oss och ett par Rådjur i skogen. Bra start på en tisdagsrackare. Nu är det bara ett fåtal sommardagar kvar av de hundra, passa på! Inlägget Sensommarmorgon dök först upp på kajak.nu.

Brave the Wild River – A Review
Editor’s note: Recently Melissa Sevigny, science writer and winner in the 2019-20 Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Competition, announced the publication of her new book Brave the Wild River. The book sounded right up my alley, so I snabbed it out of the library and gave it a read. If you’re interested in whitewater, the Colorado River,…

SUP Black Witch
Testar på sup, har en Black witch som är 74 cm bred, tror jag behöver en något stadigare bräda även om jag tar mig fram skapligt på denna så tror jag några centimeter extra skulle sitta fint. The post SUP Black Witch first appeared on Kanotisten.com.

Marmot Ether DriClime Hoody Review
I’ve been a big fan of Marmot’s DriClime Windshirt. It has been a staple of my outdoor clothing system for years. I think it is one of the best layers for shoulder-season canoe trips. It’s warm, breathable, and blocks the wind. You can use it as a base layer against your skin, as an insulation…
