The 5 km track opens 1 december 2007 The 5-km skating track in Biddinghuizen, Holland, already opens the 1st of december! There will be a special price for the first weekend: for 5 euro you can skate all day, both on the 1st and 2nd of december. Will report here again as soon as I have been...

Optimistic Hej Jan-Erik, Yes I understand that, but together with the other good signs (like avarage temp much lower than last season, also in Holland) I try to be optimistic! Mvh, Rob.

Some new cities added! Hej Jan-Erik, I noticed just now that you added new cities bl.a. Leeuwarden and Schwerin this season. Kul! Even in Schwerin, Tyskland some ice forming this week. Nice to see! Tack så mycket! /Rob.

Some research to FlevOnIce There is no open calculation about the financing of this project. But in answers to questions from people in the village council of Biddinghuizen, there are some figures shown. The total investment in the track is about 18 million euro, that is around 162 million...

This winter there will be opening up a new skating track in Holland. It is a 5 km long artificial ice track, situated in Biddinghuizen in the province Flevoland. The owning organization promises that the track will open in december this year and that it stays open for three months each winter...

Hmmm, you are right. When I think of it now, it is quite "easy" for the Met Office to predict a cooler, drier winter. Even without any model, just from a statistical point of view, chances that 2007/8 will be worse compared to 2006/7 are not high. Said otherwise, an avarage winter is better than...

From The European Met Office: Early indications for Winter 2007/8 (December, January and February) The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is a phenomenon associated with winter fluctuations in temperatures, rainfall and storminess over much of Europe. When the NAO is in a positive phase westerly...

Re: More places Tack, det vore kul! /Rob.

Tyskland och Nederländerna? It looks very good Jan-Erik. Especially in the start of next winter your website will save me a lot of time. I am checking a lot of different websites now, because everyday I am curious if any (new) ice is coming up in Sweden. Would it be possible for next winter to...

Respekt för isen I agree! When it starts freezing seriously in Friesland, Nederländerna, it is not allowed for any boat to go on the Elfstedentocht route. They even put open some bridges, so that ice freezes better under there. Cars have to drive around. Skating is top priority, since we have...

5 november Det blir söndagen den 5 november i Norra Värmland.

Re: Fastfrysning ? Yes, could definitely be so! There are two rotating parts getting in the water. So far, I can shake off most of the water after using it (tested with a plank with hole floating on water) because the rotating parts are outside of the pipe. And afterwards I put it in the...

Integrera i piken Yes, I tried this when I started the first time on the mätare, but I haven't found the right material yet for the ispik. I switched to the "small" version then. But I think I can do it: it only takes time. Good idea! But it might be better not to use hjälpstaven, but make a...

Re: Good homework Maybe we can call the model with shorter centimeters the Holland model, because often we don't get more than 3 "long" centimeters nowadays, and I still want to skate :-) Ja, riktig. Maybe I can fix that in a new version next winter. Yes, but I think the wider the blade under...

I was looking for a way to have a light-weight, easy-handed, tool to measure the ice-thickness with only one hand in a small hole in the ice. I thought the "normal" metal centimer shift tool is not so handy, because you have to make a relative big hole in the ice to get it through. So I tried to...

Säsongen 2005/2006 Mycket snö den här säsongen! 440 km 3 länder (Sverige, Tyskland, Nederländerna) 14 turer 0 plurr Bilderna från turen i Holland, se http://www.hlsk.nl/Logboek/Nederland/Artikelen/Winter+2005+2006+Nederland.htm /Rob.

Hollands kanaler :-) Jätte kul att Hollands kanaler är på svenska "kanonskridsko"! It is getting colder now in Holland. We from HLSK hope to skate our first tours this weekend. If it keeps on freezing after that, watch our site http://www.hlsk.nl for ice-reports and offering help to skaters...

Re: Re: Re: Magazine Hej Patrik, As soon as there are good skating conditions, you are most welcome to come down. I will try to post in this forum when any lake is good here. Just mail me then, and I can help you out if you want. (Took some time to answer, because I just got back from a...

Magazine in Holland I have received an answer that costs to send a copy to Amsterdam is 49 kr + 26 kronor extra for mailingcost. I do that and look forward to get one.
