Finland trip, March 2013 - planning and preperation.

[Imagedude]

First attempt at skiing on the lake today,It's ok if I stick to the skidoo tracks but the skis are too thin for the powder snow. Just had a blue cheese and kebab meat calzone pizza! Out on the lake tomorrow until Wednesday

Kebab meat? I bet there's more than 1% horse in that. You should be able to gallop the rest!

Looking good on the old tracker, it's up to number 44.

having spent time in the area at this time of year i have been in awe since i started reading this thread a few days ago. ive just looked at the spot checker tho and am mightily impressed. looks as tho his confidence in the ice has zoomed. awesome trip

I'm beyond anxious, I'm at the stage where I just don't care anymore, what' s the worse that can happen? Ok I could slip on the ice and break a leg, then crawl to the nearest road and get run over by a Russian truck driver then raped by a horny bear, mauled by wolverine then I could drown in an icy river and my corpse could be nibbled by perch before being washed ashore and gnawed by wolves. Nothing to worry about really.

Sounds like you're gonna have a load of fun - have a really good one, Bob

Anyone know Bob's return date? Currently saving all SPOT data.

If the horny bear got him, its on the move

The weather has been good for late-winter activity in Finland for the past week. The day temperatures have been ranging from -5 to -20 centigrade and night temperatures from -15 to -30 centigrade.

Spot tracker shows Bob back in Inari so must be nearly home time. The tracks look epic going far out on the ice. Maybe that was the dogsled trip. Cant wait to see the pics

Staying in a hotel tonight, taxi to airport booked for the morning. thank god that's over! (Not) I will be back next year for the real thing after this year's rehearsal
