Participants
Plans
I plan to reach this geohash by cycling here from Joensuu. In summer or autumn, I could easily cycle to 60 metres away and walk to the hashpoint, but now I cannot count on the small forest roads being clear of snow. Since these forest roads are probably not maintained in winter, there may still be too much snow (easily more than ten centimetres) for cycling. In the worst case scenario, I will have to walk about 1.5 kilometres from Keskijärventie, but it is still a manageable distance.
Expedition
Success, reporting soon...
