Eckerö Golf Driving Range is located just opposite Russell Guest House several kilometers from the ferry terminal in the town of Eckerö. It is an inexpensive way to pass your time even if you are not a keen golfer. There are of course professional as well as amateur golfers practising at the golf driving range! Eckerö has several excellent golf courses. It can be a lot of fun too! You can borrow the various clubs from the clubhouse next to the driving range if you do not bring any. There is also a sports shop in the clubhouse for those who are interested in buying some golf accessories at a bargain!
A set of golf equipment complete with drivers and clubs if you are a keen golfer. Leave a Comment Theme: GolfingAddress: Eckerö, Åland, FinlandDirections: Located opposite Russell Guest House several kilometers from the ferry terminal in Eckerö.

 paddling the rivers of finland by sinoda
If you are fond of nature, not getting a nervous breakdown because of some spiders in the wilderness and enjoy luxury of independence then consider this:
Why not hire a canoe/kayak and hit the enigmatic lake and river system of middle- and eastern Finland? Pack your stuff (tent/clothes) into your canoe and float away like Väinämöinen did once... ; )
Choose tranquility for once without city-hustle.
Time - very good map - good equipment (outdoor gear) - open mind Leave a Comment Theme: Kayaking/Canoeing

 from the top of Vuokatti by Stellla
If you do not have your own snowboard and boots you can rent it easily...only problem is the price in Vuokkati: 40€ for 2 days. It costs more than rent skis equipment which it is not logical for me. But you need good clothes as well, to snowboard the trouser is a must, and particulary if you just begin you will spend a lot of time on your bum. Then waterproof gloves obviously and googles if possible. As in Finland it is particularly cold, do not forget thermal socks. I would recommend half silk and wool..not so thick but warm. Another tip to protect yourself from the cold: avoid cotton made on your skin, it just make you sweat and then you get cold.

Beside the winter gear and fishing equipment, you will need also the tool to dig the ice, which I have no idea how you call it, dave_21 and Herzog63 surely must know :-) Leave a Comment Theme: Fishing TripsDirections: On many of the 188,000 lakes we have here.

 go for it! by sinoda
Yeah, that's alright. You wouldn't believe how much energy this takes. Just try it for fun's sake. But mind your swing.
Unlike in golfing the swing comes directly over your head and cuts the piece of wood in two parts. Keep yor legs apart from each other and concentrate on your two-handed swing.
Use enough force so you won't need another strike. If the wood is already dry and hard you may experince some difficulty, but just keep on chopping.
It is said that our cross country skiing champ Juha Mieto only used to chop wood in order to keep himself fit. ; )
yeah, sure
but it is healthy. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Fishing by Gili_S
You must remember that for most kind of Fishing you need a licence. But if you use just a traditional hook & a worm, you do not require that licence. Leave a Comment

 Jokerit attacking by sabsi
Bring a warm jumper. We were freezing so I said "Let's go" to Bigs after 80 minutes of the match. Luckily we didn't - we would have missed two goals! And there's always a sauna when coming home cold :-) Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Finnair Stadium is in Helsinki, not far from the Olympic stadium.
