Expedition
Pastori and Wife's journey home from Lapland started at 7 am. After about a one-hour drive, the first hashpoint was 290 metres from the car. The first 100 metres through a field was easy but the rest of the way was anything but. Watery ditches, ground that was barely holding together and it was difficult to keep the heading jumping from one tussock to another and over ditches. Completely drenched, not from rain but because of hay growing up to their waist on the swamp, Pastori and Wife reached the point at an accuracy of 0,481. Back to the car to change all their clothes to dry ones, even the underwear, while laughing amused and shooing away mosquitoes. The whole 480 metres there and back again took 45 minutes. Today Pastori and Wife are planning to reach 3 hashpoints. This is a good start!

Thankfully it's only a narrow swamp ditch.
Is there any sense in this?
It sure is wet here.
