Next year there's a chance that I can come, too. This year, as expected, things went chaotic - I went offshore in August, and I'm still offshore! So far since I started in the new job (two weeks early) I've only been home for nine days...

Hello!
Did the gathering take place? What is your impression?

Hi
We are putting a swedish LF gathering together the second week in september this coming autumn. The place is Fjällbacka, an old fishing village in the middle of the swedish west coast about two hours drive north of gothenburg. Right in the middle of the unique swedish western archipelago. The plan is to rent a house (or two depending on interest.) We can cook together, separately or eat out etc.
Example. A house that sleeps eight would cost around SEK 780 (ca 85 EUR) per person.
So far there's about six persons more or less signed up, three from the UK and three from Sweden.

A possible plan for the week could include:
A boat trip out to The Weather Island. 10 nautical miles out in the middle of the atlantic.
A visit to the rock carvings in Tanumshede, on the Unesco´s list of World Heritages.
The Bronze age grave field just outside Grebbestad with more than 180 graves is worth a visit. Especially if you're lucky (and early) enough to get some mist curling around all the standing stones...
The there's the town of Fjällbacka itself
And the wild landscape all around.

So, anyone interrested?

PS: I will post this on APUG as well but I will refer to this thread here on LF forum as the main one. To avoid confusion if possible.

Yes, it did! Have look at some of my pictures at:

(more are due shortly, the scans seems darker after uploading than in PS ?)

For me it was a very very pleasant experience. Meet very friendly and knowledgeable people, did learn a lot! Good food, wine and beer....

Hopefully we will try something next year also, Lofoten in northern Norway is currently being investigated as a potential location.

Best Regards
