27 april kl 9.Forest Day with horse logging, Ullstorp, Tomta, Nykil

Invitation from ÖBK member Tobias Sjöstrand

Welcome to Forest Day in Nykil, Sunday, April 27th at 09:00.

We will use old tools and extract timber from the forest with the help of horses. If you want to bring a horse, the last registration date is April 20th. Horse teams should register with me via email: tobbecathrin@gmail.com. Each team should bring their own assistant (maximum 8 teams).

Spectators are welcome, but please show respect and keep a distance from the horses and their drivers who are working. There will be several tools available to borrow, such as logging arches, a couple of sleds, several timber tongs with pull ropes, and a six-wheeled forest wagon. There is also the possibility to drive in pairs as there is a pair bar for the timber sled and a pair scale for the tongs. If you want to bring your own tools, that is also fine. We will be at the Ullstorp Tomta farm located outside Nykil, south of Linköping. There is timber and pulpwood in various forms. The terrain varies from very easy to somewhat more challenging. Parking is directly adjacent to the forest area where we will be working. An open fire for grilling sausages will be available. Simple refreshments will be provided. This is a perfect opportunity to train for Östergötland's Forest DM, which will take place on May 1st at the same location.

Driving is at your own risk!
