We are almost at the end of our visit to Finland, flying out to Munich tomorrow.
We have had a very enjoyable time here at Kanagasala with our friends. Petteri rowed us 6 km down the lake and back yesterday, as he was having a break from running. It was a long way and we could not have rowed that far. We visited two islands, one with a cache on a high vertical cliff, and another island about 1km long that we walked along.
Yesterdays walk in the forest was disrupted by frequent stops to eat blueberries, which are everywhere on the ground.
Today we competed at a Super Sprint orienteering event that was held around the property where we are staying. It was by invitation only, with about 20 competitors. Three maps with 32 controls, including four controls in the lake. Winning time was 9.5 minutes for 1.7 km. Sadly only 1 of the 3 NZ team members successfully completed their course, both Steven and Ian mispunched a control. But Raewyn finished a very creditable 7th, 3rd women! After the event we had a sauna, dip in the lake and food which included a HUGE strawberry cake! Yummy.
