Hello folks, Leo here...
Although we still have frozen lakes and knee-deep snow cover here in Lapland, winter will slowly surrender to spring and thoughts will turn to summer activities.
A canoe trip is immensely enjoyable. More about the journey than the destination, paddling quietly through the northern forest can be a serene experience.
(A page from the book, "Outdoors the Scandinavian Way - Summer", by renowned Swedish outdoorsman Lars Fält)
.
Lars Fält's book on summer activities covers the basics of canoe paddling and travel, as well as many other outdoor skills including camping and fire lighting. All you need for a memorable canoe trip.
This whets the appetite, and I'm looking forward to getting a paddle in the water again!
