Orienteering in the Rauma archipelago

in travel •  7 years ago 

The freezing weather has reached eaven southern Finland. On sunday, the sea-ice was strong enough to carry people, and there was a orienteering course created on the small islands outside of Rauma harbour.A42A55C3-1136-4A23-A5C8-9CF1A58AA315.jpeg

Cool. Orienteering in an archipelago in the winter. Were you on skis?

No skis, the shores of some of the islands were quite steep and rocky, so skis wouldn’t have been very practical.

Would love to do it in the north on skis though!

Wow cool idea. Though islands make that track so easy.

Yea, most of the Islands were quite small, so there really wasn’t a chance to miss. On the bigger islands however the snow and the fact that the map only showed altitude curves made it a bit more challenging from time to time!

Do this when there is no ice and swimming makes it way more challenging :)
