Expedition
Pastori and Wife have taken a couple of days off hashpoint-hunting and rested up. As they woke to a morning of drizzling rain, they were full of excitement at facing the challenges of the day, namely two new graticules, one of which didn't even have a name yet.
The journey to the first hashpoint was swift, the distance being 150 kilometres, dodging reindeer and holes of water. The point was easy to reach, about 140 metres off the road on a dry forest bed with pine trees around and the point was reached at an accuracy of 0,435 metres. Only the constant hordes of mosquitoes and other creepy-crawlies were a bit of a nuisance. But Pastori and Wife were as happy as they could be to have conquered this new graticule since they had failed to do so three days previously on their 47th engagement anniversary. They also concluded that the bilberries weren't ripe to be picked yet this far up north. And so they went on towards the next hashpoint.
Our trip continued to the next hashpoint.
