Expedition
Pastori wanted to eat some mushrooms but they didn't have any. Wife presented today's hashpoint in their own graticule and the point seemed to be in a forest and since there are mushrooms in a forest, maybe they could also find a meal in addition to the hashpoint. On top of that, the point was in a village called Suomi (Finland in Finnish), meaning it would be Finland to the power of two. They took the car and while the point was 27 kilometres away as the bird flies, the actual driving distance was 42,5 kilometres. The point was 200 metres from the road.
For once Pastori and Wife were in luck since it was extremely easy to walk in the terrain. It was especially lucky to notice that on each side of a narrow dry area there was a swamp and the point was on the good side of this divide. Going to the hashpoint was as easy as dancing. To and fro from the point Pastori collected some mushrooms and Wife picked some lingonberries and so Pastori got his wish of a meal of mushrooms for the next day and on top of that a nice lingonberry porrige and vanilla custard for dessert. Now they can just rest for the rest of the day. Tomorrow's hashpoint seems to be even closer, we will see what happens to Pastori, will he visit it or not?
The trip took about 2 hours, 85 km and walking through the terrain for 400 m.
