Re: Trip to Finland
Hi, surprise, I'm back and... I'm going to Finland! Yeah! ![]() After almost a year of brainstorm, trip plan changed a little bit: 1. I'm going alone. Mainly because we can't leave our child for so long and my wife is a little affraid:) 2. Destination: lake Saimaa, start from Lappeenranta. Why? Because I have quite good, cheap connection(direct flight from Berlin). I leave more unaccesible and distant regions like Hossa for future. Maybe next year we will plan longer trip and travel there by our old trusty volvo. 3. I rent a kayak suitable for water area THIS size. This time I was a little affraid that my funny rubber kayak will not stand waves of Saimaa. I even tried to buy kayak on Tori site but this is another story... - rental service(very kind anh helpful people) https://drakkarsport.com - kayak model https://tahe-marine.taheoutdoors.com/tm_en/oceanspirit-pe.html 4. I'm going there for 10 days, 9 in kayak. I will be very very happy to see Savonlinna but I realy don't know how much km/day I can paddle so I don't make any asumptions right now. The trip starts on 16th August, ends on 26th. 5. Camping: mainly in deserted areas, islands. Sleeping in good sleepingbag on hamock with tarp 6. Cooking: Trangia stove for liquid fuel/suitable fireplaces. Food supplies will be bought in S-market near kayak rental area. I will also bring fishing rod. But it's unlikely that I catch something because I never hold fishing rod in my hands before and I even don't have one yet ![]() 7. I will try to shoot some pictures on my trip and of course I will write word or two when I come back. Wish me luck and take care! July 24, 2019, 10:44:55 PM |
