Trip to Finland, Day 7

Today we woke up very late so we decided just to go a little to the beach and then go to a training of Rajamaen Rykmentii. We were told at the begining that we would have to be cautious and that relocation was impossible. I came to know that when I went to control no9 (thinking that I already knew where it was because I had already been there) and everything looked the same. I searched the control for 20 mins. After that I gave up. It was just training, there was no need to have an headache about it:

Trip to Finland, Day 6

In the afternoon we went to a "famous" orienteering training that usually happens on Mondays in Finland. I was so amazed for seeing so much people to just train. Even more people than in the races in Portugal!

Here is the map we did today where people had the chance to choose a course from 2 - 9 km or get a blank map and draw the course. I decided to do the 7Km one where I did a very big mistake on control no8 where I was not focused:

Trip to Finland, Day 5

Today we decided to take a rest day and just go to the beach in Sääksjärvi. Here is the course we did by bike from Kyläjoentie to there:

Trip to Finland, Day 4

Today we all felt very tired so we decided to rest on the morning and just "train" on the afternoon.
We went again to map Alhonniittu but this time to the uper part. I think it was a great choice since this side of the map was the most interesting and fun map that I've ever been since I am here in Finland.
In these maps I'll always try to go straight even if it is VERY SLOW and stupid just to get a full experience of what these forests can give you.

Enjoy :)

Trip to Finland, Day 3

In the morning me and Miguel went by bike to a new map near Nurmijarvi. Near 8Km.

In the afternoon, we went to the other side of the map near Anna's house and after the "training" me and Miguel went to the lake.

Here are some photos of the day:

Trip to Finland, Day2

In the morning, I asked Miguel for some help since at the day before I couldn't understand some features of the map and terrain. This was the course that we did together:

In the afternoon, we grabed the bikes and went to a map a little bit further. The terrain was very different from the above but a lot more fun!

After the "training" we went to a lake to take a bath (up corner right of the map) and on the way there, we decided to have some mud fight on the swamps! Ahah!

Mud Fight!

How to walk on "uncrossable" swamps!

Blueberries - Election food on any forest in Finland :b

Trip to Finland, Day 1

1st day in Finland was at 25th July, where me, Luis and Miguel arrived at Anna's house.

We are going to stay here untill 1 august or so.

To begin to know the terrains, in the morning we went to a map near Anna's house where we just ran and then, at the afternoon, I tried to do a course but couldn't make it well (not having the controls in the terrain doesn't help, but oh well)

Course day 1 - Vaaksinjarvi
