The trickiest thing about going to a place you’ve never been before is to orientate oneself and work out where to begin. Here, a little help from #GPS and #OnlineMaps did come in handy but after that, it was back to analogue hardware – a #map and a #compass.

Starting on the road by around 9 am, there was a #footpath that led up the side of the valley into a #wood. In the #MorningLight, the #trees were illuminated by nicely.

#Compass 2.0: Sentou Setsuri Kaiseki System

C'est une histoire de jeu vidéo avec des héros et des... Euh...

En vrai j'ai un peu rien biter au premier épisode. Y a des gens qui se battent, d'autres gens qui font... Des trucs. Et y a des méchants et puis voilà.

A voir comment ça évolue mais je suis pas vraiment emballé par la proposition.

On a break, trying to figure out where we actually are in the Kemihaara Wilderness Area, Finland, during Christmas and New Year's Eve 2023/2024. We got pretty badly lost on this hike and for five days, we only had a vague idea of where we were. But since we always pack food for a few extra days, we didn't have any other emergency except that it started to become mentally exhausting. I would say I'm pretty good at navigating, but in forests, sometimes my inner compass just gets overwhelmed, or I get lost in my own thoughts and forget to be on alert for landmarks.
