Expedition

This expedition is the second hashpoint today. The first one.

And into the forest we go again.

The distance for between the previous point and this one was 96,2 km for Pastori and Wife even if they took the straightest route possible. This hashpoint was a little more challenging. It was 300 metres off the road. The forest was swampy with various trees and mossy quagmire. They made it there nonetheless and Pastori achieved an accuracy of 3,9 metres. The walk back from the point took 13 minutes and 39 seconds and Pastori burned 126 calories. If someone outside of Finland is wondering why Pastori is so often wandering around a forest while looking for the hashpoints, it's simply because 2/3 of the entire surface area of Finland is forest and the remaining 1/3 has about 60 000 lakes. So that's what the terrain is like here, welcome!

On the hashpoint

The collective trip of the day took 9 hours and 380,2 kilometres. But we did get 2 new graticules no one has been to before! We feel like winners!
