I'm at this time writing from phone, how much kilometers? I do not think that paddlers can make that huge distance in three days that I could not cover afterwards. I'm a somewhat competitive cyclist and 100km no big deal for me

Gnesta (the goal for the paddling) --> Stockholm = 66,3 km

What type of roads here, asphalt or gravel? If mainly asphalt, than steam boat to Mariefred and from Gnesta to Stockholm I'll go cycling.

asphalt all the way, pretty much like M1 in England
you may have to take small roads instead, prob asphalt as well.

That's great news.I'm a road cyclist and doing in Latvia time trials. Getting in this year strong for 35+ age group at time trials for Latvian competition. Done last TT with 44,4km/h average on 12,5km distance.
Also going sometimes to hang in the woods to finetune my hanging kit and also to get some fresh air.
At this tame have old trusty cotton brazilian hammock, but have also nice tarp to fly. Brian's work are art.
ps Dutch, of curiousity want to see your titanium hardware in live because seen those praises much in this forum.

I am really excited about this trip. Moski, thanks for putting it together, it will be great to meet everyone.

Whoo buddy, now I am really excited.
It only took 3 weeks for my passport, but they may look closer at a shady Dude like you.

I don't get the whole ginger thing. From what I gather, gingers are supposed to be soulless and whatnot. I just don't know how it got started and why it's supposed to be funny.

Oh well. Cultural differences.

This message was intended to notify everyone that I won't be bringing my SPOT on this trip. I assume we will have cell phone coverage all the way, and it's so close to civilisation that it's just silly to bring it.
