Expedition

In the bushes again, what else is new.

A beautiful summer morning dawned with sunshine, although the temperature was only +11 degrees Celsius and the wind was northernly. Today's point in their home graticule seemed to be by a road they know all too well although the point was almost in the neighbouring city, Nurmes. They hoisted the Finnish flag on the flagpole, as it was a national flag day, and off they went. After 27 km they stopped on a wider part of the road and tried to reach the point through the field, because there was quite a wide ditch between the road and the field. This attempt was doomed and Pastori had to cross the ditch anyway with little exertion. Wife deemed that this was not something for her to do so she stayed behind on the field. And so the last picture of Pastori is him diving into a bush once again but he managed to find the point at an accruracy of 0.821 metres. Happy with this nice outing Pastori and Wife returned home to find a beautiful piece of news in their email: the very same morning their 7th grandchild had been born.
