So now i just need to book a canoe for the 2 of us. Whats the best way to go about this? did anyone book already? can we get a little bit of a deal if we book a few together?

We like the idea of camping in Mariefred in Swede2378's backyard if possible for the night. Would that be on the 21st?

Here is a link to a google doc i started: http://tinyurl.com/7c8n8l7
This doc is for anything regarding the trip, I thought it would good to make a google doc where we can post any info regarding this trip. It can be edited by multiple people at the same time even. Anyone with the link above can access and edit this doc. cheers! - Peter

I'm positively surprised from intheswimway to go hammockers!

I don't think Biegolmai/Peter/Stavros will make it
I think he got his hands full on the home front.

Hey !!! What about kidnapping him ? I'll take a taser, and you guys a huge bag (he's not small...) to put him in....

Sorry Stavros, just joking...

NOTE
Sorry for not being super active here on the forum/thread.
But we bought a new house before x-mas so i am super busy with some renovatings.
I hope you all understand.

No problem Captain !
And thank you VERY MUCH for what you're doing to make this trip, an unforgettable success ! I'm really proud of you !

For everyone's attention, I'll probably go by car instead of plane and skip the steamboat (If I can park at Swede's house, that is?).

So I can get white gas and actual gas for stoves for anyone who is flying.

Just drop me a PM or email with exactly what you need and we'll settle when we meet in Mariefred.

[J.Andersons]

Moski will lend me gas stove. At some time ago also he had been ready to lend me the tarp also but MacCat somewhere should be flying across the pond with Global Express delivery, as status says packed and shipped 14.may.
Hopefully I'll in trip reports write soon how test hang goes.

Since Kanotkungen will bring all canoes to our starting point, it's best if we book all canoes on the same time. (Or the only way, to be honest )

It is the same deal at the finish.
He will come and collect all canoes for a fee (splitted by all canoe renters).

[PatHex]

Yes I do, also, think that the best way is to rent the canoes as we get there.
You can send an email to Kanotkungen (prices ; use the flag to change the language ; translate.google.com can also be usefull ) but I think they have enough canoes for every one for the whole summer.

One or two weeks before the meeting, we can ask them about a deal.
It will be easier to deal the prices with them in swedish language, with Moski, Joz, etc.

Do you mean, it's an invitation for me to reach central Sweden with you by car, and then.... the tempting and beautiful rivers in the north of Umeå, after Skaho ?

I'm kidding. I know you're going to Stockholm.

[Joz]

Haha, well, Pat, I'm actually thinking about continuing further south to see the family on my father's side. Haven't seen them in a couple of years, I might as well.

Haven't decided yet. Either Jönköping or Stockholm, or both.
