Skogselmea 26-28 May 2011

Anyone fancy a trip across to Sweden next year ?

see Scandinavia?s leading venue for the future forestry | Elmia

This Forestry/Arb/Wood exhibition had 33,000 plus visitors to the last one in 2007.

How about an Arbtalkers on tour trip ? we may be able to get decent rates for a large group. The live demo's are apparently everywhere over a huge site and worth seeing.

Would be a chance to see many different methods and products not available/used often in the UK.

The Husky factory is close by as well, i wonder if they would accomodate a tour for a few hours ?

The BIG ONE Elmea Wood show is in 2013 at the same place.

not sure i could get away with that given that im getting married on the 28th

that's not to say im not trying to figure out a way!!

Count me in!

I'm in!

Quite like the idea of that myself.

Thanks for the heads up Les

Tobias, is this anywhere near you?

hmmm im really seriously tempted, could buy loads of sensibly priced atv kit, rather than the stupidly over inflated prices over here

Looks good. Am I right in thinking that the Apf have one over in sweeden next year as they alternate between the two countrys?

Went to Elmia last year and it is a fantastic show. We were in the show for 2 whole days from 8.30am till 5.30pm and still did not see everything we wanted to. It makes APF look like a village fete and everything is being shown working, from an axe to a new 1000horsepower wood chipper. Went to apf this year but will not go again. You would not regret a trip out there and if you could do the Husky factory aswell it would be a fantastic trip. Start saving up now though coz its very expensive!!

I would be up for this, the Scandanavians are still inovating horse extraction kit, would love to go

Quite like the idea of that myself.

Deponds on what you compare to I'ts a 490 mile roundtrip...but I would be down in a flash if you came over! It could be the first proper international Arbtalk gettogether... 2 trials have worked out fine so far!

The fair is in the southern part of Sweden. There is a great forest with really old pine and spruce trees (150-300 years old) and a known place for Phellinus ferrugineofuscus...nothing spectacular but still...I haven been there myself but there are some good forests within trevelling distance..
