A winter day in Espoo archipelago or at Kauniainen fireplace.
We walk over the ice to Iso Vasikkasaari fireplace. We talk about ice safety and introduce ourselves to the safety equipments.
You have a possibility test snow shoes. The event is free of charge.
Iso Vasikkasaari is less the 1 km away from Nokkala harbor in Matinkylä. We walk there. Aslak promised to check the ice condition: thickness and is the too much water on ice. If so, we have a plan B to visit a new fire place at Kasaberget in Kauniainen. We inform you witch plan we take.
