| Lappeenranta, round airport, "hippodrome", Skinnarila (map1...) and around Ruohosaari and back |
| Note | |

|
Today's map is a real beauty. All I can remamber is both terrain and map were perfect, but I could not enjoy it much. The date of that event (late spring) is bad possible for me and my asthma.

Map 5 is a sprint map
Hint:
Kenyan cross country skiers Philip Boit and Henry Bitok used to live and train near this place few years ago when they practised xc skiing for the olympics. Their coach in Finland was Jussi Lehtinen.

I know Jussi quite well, he used to do some orienteering as well. I am don't know did the Kenyans use orienteering as summer training for XC skiing like some Scandinavian XC skiers do.

| Second skate session this winter. Much easier than the first one. It's also nice to be able to start skiing right from the front door. |

Second one is almost as easy as the first one.
Try to find this one: Map 2
Hint: This maps slightly overlaps with the Jukola map where VeVe boys won the Jukola relay. The railroad can be seen on both maps. Find find the Jukola map, check where it is located and you are almost done. http://www.jukola.com is a good attack point. Easy and fun!

| Sunday skiing was my first classic skiing session for ages. Lifting legs felt so painfull yesterday I had to have a rest day. So I used 4 hours (!?) for fixing a charset problem in RG. Special charsets used to work just fine but for some reason it all stopped working last summer. I had done some changes for viewing gps routes. Well, now it works again if you need to have required fonts in your OS/VM.

Year ago I tried to kill winter with armchair gadget. It wasn't as fun as I hoped, so let's try this game I have been playing with PG:s old online maps and some routegadget maps.
Here is a O map:
http://routegadget.awardspace.com/misc/deleted.jpe...
Can you find it from Google maps or this map site.
The blue are is not a sea, it's one of the biggest lakes in Finland. And we are not far from Russian border. This should be easy.
I have thousands of O maps most of AP readers have never seen, so If this is fun I will not run out of map anytime soon. |

| There was an article about orienteering in Los Angeles in Suunnistaja (=Orienteer) Magazine. It is O magazine published by Finnish O Federation.
Now most Finnish orienteers know there is orienteering in the US and terrains are pretty cool.

One morning we saw dolphins from our balcony while eating breakfast. Too long way to take picture, but I tried anyway. |
