Ice skating on Lake Siljan 14 Jan 2006.

Siljan is Sweden's seventh largest lake. The distance from Stockholm to southern Siljan is 280 km. We went there by car and entered the ice first at 11 AM, missing the first hours of skateable daylight.

In the distance we saw another group. (Photo: me) Ulrika Engdahl, Mårten Ajne and Dick Lindström. (Photo: me) Crossing an extensive crack. (Photo: me) (Photo: me) (Photo: me) Daniel Edman.

(Photo: me) (Photo: me) Somewhere I read something about a "fighting face". Is this an example? (Photo: me) Or this? (Photo: me) Bertil looking for a good place for lunch... (Photo: me) ... and here it is. (Photo: me) We had lunch together with a group from Friluftsfrämjandet/Borlänge. (Photo: me) Passing the group from Friluftsfrämjandet.

It was getting late and we realised we had to stop further ice excesses and go straight back to the car. (Photo: me/selftimer) "Straight back to the car" ment 35 km without stopping. We arrived right before it got dark. (Photo: me)
