Location

In Selkäinniemi, Asunta, Keuruu. The point lies in the forest.

Participants

Expedition

A very dark road in the middle of nowhere.
  • 16:15 I leave work.
  • 16:30 I jump into train at Helsinki central railway station.
  • 19:00 The driver of the train makes an announcement that there is a freight train ahead of us that is blocking our way, because it can't properly get up hills in the pouring rain and with leaves on the tracks.
  • 19:38 I arrive at Jämsä railway station, 250 km from Helsinki, 19 min behind schedule.
  • 19:41 I jump into my car and drive 50 km, of which 10 km in poor gravel roads.
  • 20:22 I stop my car at the hashpoint.
  • 20:23 I gather my devices and rumble 20 meters to the forest.
  • 20:24 I stumble in the dark forest to geodance a bit, but the thick forest and poor weather doesn't allow a better accuracy than about 6 meters.
  • 20:25 I struggle to get a decent picture of my face with my phone's camera.
  • 20:28 I almost get stuck when trying to turn the car at the intersection of a summer cottage. My summer tires have surprisingly bad traction on soaking-wet long grass.
  • 20:31 I arrive at home, which is located 850 meters from the hashpoint (as birds fly).
My photography masterpiece. (I dare you, JiK, you can't take worse picture than this.)
