    Hi! Does anybody have experience of foldable Bergans Ally canoes?

    Day Out Great winter day trip, half a meter of snow in Finland

    Hi all! This winter has been very good for the winter outdoor fun in Finland. We have had huge amounts of snow even in Southern Finland and the coastal areas. This was a nice day trip in the woods without skies. Coffee tastes always lovely under the spruce!
