Recommended list of what to bring:
Clothing:
It’s an active excursion so don't dress too warm, but bring an extra layer for standing still! It's best to have clothing that dries up quickly, so avoid cotton if possible! Wool and polyester (often seen in sport-specific clothing) are best.
Dressing in many layers is recommended over having one thick layer. This provides better insulation and it's easier to remove one layer when you're too warm.
- 1 pair of warm socks + 1 thinner pair
- Thermal base layer (i.e. winter running shirt)
- Warm sweater (i.e. (micro) fleece, wool)
- Water-resistant wind stopper or shell layer
- Winter coat for breaks
- Hat / Scarf / Gloves / mits
- Either skiing trousers or thermal leggings/jogging trousers with water-resistant outdoor/sportive trousers over the top. Alternatively jogging trousers under a pair of jeans.
Accessories:
- Waterproof phone container
- Sunglasses
- Camera
What to expect
After gearing up at our base camp, we'll drive together to the best ice there is around Stockholm (can only be planned the day before). After an easy safety brief, we'll skate for a few hours on natural ice (lake or baltic sea), enjoy some fika breaks on the shore and a nice hot lunch. At the end of the day, we'll drive back to our base camp.
