Getting there

As part of college, I'm taking part in a group canoeing expedition in the wilds of Finland. 10 Days paddling, starting at Lomatrio, and finnishing near Mikkeli. The trip will take in sections of grade 2 whitewater, but will mostly be on the lakes Kyyvesi & Puula.


The flights are confirmed, canoes booked, and other essential logistics taken care of. Dublin to Tampere on the 8th of may, then train to Pieksamaki, and onward to Lomatrio for our first nights camping in the wilderness. I've purchased a waterproof digital camera, so i'll be posting high-res pics when i can, as well as cellphone pics and blogging on the go, cell coverage permitting. My gear is assembled, now it's time to start packing.
