Hey
Jeg har hørt at pga den danske vinter er lidt barsk i år så er det nu blevet muligt og køre på forskellige tilfrosset søer. Sunds sø mellem Viborg og Herning er åben for kørsel hele weekenden…… Nogen der har planer om og skal afsted?

Isn't there any snow on the ice? Or, do they blade the snow out of the way for driving/racing? Sounds like a lot of fun — if there is no snow to deal with.
Glad to hear that “global warming” isn't getting in the way of you having fun with your rods.
Hey, I know this observation is a bit off-topic, but I've wondered about something — especially since the recent Kobenhavn summit meeting on global Warming: when I last visited Danmark and Tyskland a couple of years ago, I was focused on archeology and Viking-era finds. I visited a bog on southern Jylland where in the late 1800's some viking long boats (similar to the ones at Roskilde) had been found with lots of iron weapons (swords, spear points, shields, etc). These viking or pre-viking era finds are now on display at a museum in Schleswig, Tyskland. Anyway, the bog (mose) on Jylland where the stuff was found is today quite a bit above sea level. How did the viking longboats get there? Did they put them on logs and roll them uphill? I doubt it. This indicates to me that the earth's average temperature in the Viking era must have been warmer than it is today in order for the sea level to be so much higher then. Hvad synes i om det?
In any case, have fun racing on the ice!

They speed up, about half a mile, before they came to the beach.
That simple

They dont speed up. They are ussally drunk, and forget that theres no more water. They just keep rowing.

Well…. all fun aside, I feel convinced that there is not a god damn thing we can do about global warming.
We have had 6 ice ages (that we know of) followed by warming of the planet and every second that passes, the sun puts out energy equivalent to what man has been consuming in all areas of cumbustible fuel, coal, firewood and more, throughout our history……..
So I guess it is safe to say that global warming was coming, whether we were here or not 
We may not be helping the planet much, but in the bigger picture we can not stop what's to come.
So, in answer to your question  Yes I think there was water allowing our Vikings to use the area as a port or “base”

Yeah, that's got to be the way it was.
On a related topic, this morning in the States, according to the morning news, Washington DC is trying to dig out from 20 inches of new snow. The US Government and about everything else is taking a “snow day”. In other places nearby (Maryland and Delaware) they reportedly got 30-40 inches of new snow (about a meter). They are calling it the most snowfall there in recorded history. It's a pretty tough winter some places on this here planet.

Niels, the bog is Nydam Bog, and its just north of a little town called Sonderborg, kind of close to the border with Tyskland. I had been researching Viking finds for a while before my last trip, so knew about Nydam bog and several other places that I wanted to check out. When I drove to the site (Nydam), it looked like a low-lying grassy field with a small white cottage there. Didn't even look marshy or boggy — no water to be seen, but it is fairly near a fiord, obviously.
In looking at my resources this morning I discovered some interesting info about the only known Viking trading center in Norway on the Bay of Kaupang. My published resources say this, among other things, about the Viking base at Kaupang: “In Viking times, when the water level was SIX FEET HIGHER, the bay was larger and deeper—deep enough at best to receive Viking ships and serve as a busy trading port.”
Is it common knowledge in Scandinavia that sea level today is maybe six feet lower than it was in Viking times?
Anyway, if you haven't yet visited the Archaeological State Museum at Schloss Gottorf in Schleswig to see the finds of Nydam (and also Thorsberg) you really ought to. Its quite impressive.
