In a forest in Kettukangas, Kuolio, Kuusamo.

The point on a topographic map: [1]

Participants

Expedition

We were driving by, and I noticed this geohash pretty close to the main road, so it would be easy and quick enough to visit. The plan was simple: drive to the nearest point on the road and walk to the hashpoint, which should be only a quick diversion. However, to our surprise, the last road was closed with a barrier. Fair enough; assuming that it is a privately funded road, the road owners are allowed to prohibit any motorised traffic from outsiders. Using it on foot was perfectly legal though, so I ran the last 1.3 kilometres to the hashpoint alone while Fiancée waited in the car. I tried to be quick because she was waiting for me and because there were countless mosquitoes thirsty for blood, but I still lost my sense of time when I stopped to eat some ripe berries. I eventually ran back to the car, and we got to carry on with our journey.

Photos

  • The road was blocked and I had to continue on foot. About 1.3 km to go.

  • Ripe bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus).

  • Rufous milkcaps (Lactarius rufus), edible mushrooms after blanching.
