Expedition

Open space for once, enough to share.

Pastori is with Wife in Seinäjoki visiting his little sister and her husband. They had been waiting all day for an autumn storm, in which the wind speed would rise up to 20-25 m/s. When the hashpoint happened to be only 4,3 kilometres from where they were staying, the temptation was big enough. Pastori was excited to get to a point that was not in the middle of a thicket. So, that evening at 5pm, Pastori started his journey towards the point. The journey took them to the middle of the fields on small roads and deeper and deeper into the centre of the plains (this area of Finland is known for being incredibly flat). Wife took a deep breath as she came out of the car and felt the wind all around her. The wind speed was up to 30 m/s at this point. It's so easy to breathe on the plains. The point itself was easy to reach. 7 kilometres by car and 300 metres from where they parked the car and the rest of the way was threshed field. The hashpoint itself was in an yet unthreshed wheat field. Thankfully the farmer had driven his tractor in a way that had left tracks so Pastori and Wife didn't damage the field any further. Pastori reached the point with an accuracy of 1,8 metres.
