Thanks for posting those Bodge.
I've got about 240 pictures and will post the best as soon as I can get photobucket to work.
It was an absolutely awesome trip. I think to the guys that helped and got involved in the planning or lending of kit many thanks.
The Finnish people we met over there were without exemption some of the nicest folk you could wish to meet.
Within an hour of landing at the Hiking Centre we were gifted enough fishing bait for a week.
The Laavus were all immaculately clean and well maintained. It was developing into a theme at one point as we never lit a fire for the first couple of days as every time we landed at a Laavu there was one ticking over in the fire place.
The scenery was incredible also and as you can see from the sunsets they were breath taking.
We walked on average between about 7 to 8k a day and had a dedicated rest day to practice a few bushcraft skills.
It's amazing how well everything works over there. fire lighting is a piece of cake with plenty of Silver birch and old man's beard.
I can't wait to head back for another visit.
Looking back I can't remember a low point in the hole week and I remember lots of laughs and just a fantastic place.
I'll crack on trying to post up some pictures and I'll bring the Laptop to the next North Wood meet for a formal debrief if anyone is interested.
