LF gathering in Sweden early september

[Joakim Ahnfelt]

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.

I assume you meant he week that starts 9/9? I will see if I can getaway ... how long the whole week? I ask because if I take the trip over I want to fold in a visit with some friends in Finland as well.

Hi!

Put me on the list :-) The timeing seems perfect for me, should still be warm weather and all summerholliday obligations in the past!

Mvh

If at all possible, I'll be there. I'm about to change jobs soon, and possibly employer as well, so I can't really plan anything at all after April.

[Joakim Ahnfelt]

Great!
Ted. Yes, it's from 8 or 9 to 15 september. House changing is on saturdays.
Morten, your on the list.
Ole, hope everything falls in to place so you can join us.

I will keep everyone posted about bookings and so on.

I'm very interested, but not sure I can come. It's prime-time conference season for us academics and I'm not sure they'll let me keep my job if I pass up a freebie to attend a meeting I have to pay for :-)

Hi Joakim,
If you received my previous email-respons I should already be on the list, right?

I'm looking forward to the gathering and plan to bring my Pontiac Transport (or similar larger car with many seats) as I did to the last years LF-gathering in Stockholm.

Kind regards,
Patrik Roseen

[Joakim Ahnfelt]

Yes Patrik. Your on the list already.

Hi there, another interested party from the UK. I was planning a trip at around this time so would love to join you guys.
Can you put me down on the list, what date for the final confirmation?
I may have one other also, is that do-able?

Thanks

Gari

Hi Gari
The more the merrier. I will get back to everyone in a week or so with dates and such.
Struan, convince your boss you're invited to speak about the wind increase in proportion to the square inches of film you are trying to expose.

Cheers
Joakim
