Plans

We were once again travelling from Lempäälä to Turku region with Hermiina. Despite of early darkness and snow we decided to try Oripää hashpoint today.

Our direct line point-to-point distance would be 119 km and surprisingly the hashpoint almost lies on that line. Only 600 m off, as you can see in the last picture. But because we do not have a helicopter, we have to use roads, which increases the distance.

Expedition

30 km south of Huittinen we left highway 41 and turned to smaller roads.

Total walking distance was only 425 m, but it was slow and hard. Road (or track) was slippery and in poor condition. Forest was quiet and full of snow and there was totally dark. Exciting atmosphere!
