Location

In the forest in a place called Kukkoliete (what a strange name, "Rooster Sludge" would be the literal translation, but in Finnish the name doesn't mean anything, either). Varparanta village, the municipality of Kontiolahti.

Expedition

The forest had recently undergone second thinning.

A quick hashpoint-grab on our way from Pastori's place to our home. After some twists and turns to find the right road, we parked about 150 m from the hashpoint, and I embarked on a quick stroll through the forest. My Daughter was so hot and tired she didn't want to join the expedition, and there would probably be a lot of mosquitoes, too. And there was! They didn't keep up with me as I jogged to the hashpoint, but immediately after I had stopped to the actual hashpoint, they attacked with numbers. I could slam at least half a dozen from my calves with a single stroke at any given time. Despite the interference, I managed to get a picture of my stupid grin and the coordinates, accuracy 1 meters. Then quickly back to the car and towards home!
