Working for sports and forests

We took part for yearly organized mtbo camp in Denmark. Lots of trainings for athletes. We travelled areas near Viborg. Every training were held in new plae. Nice weather for all of us  .

On mornings I had time for running. Some 30 min training for me per day was enough. When athletes were training I walked around in forests. I strated my works at 7 am and finished them mo...

Today we were at Vaasa International Dog Show. Our family dog Ruka was doing her best. Notice that the blue prize in picture wasn´t for her. We just thought it was part of the photo set  !

I found some wintery driving conditions during this week. But soon it´s time for summer tyres. At least in the place where I´m heading  .

First ride after winter/ skiing season. I was cycling on the road ´cause my mtb has it´s problems. Too many kilometers done with it. Time to look forward and a new bike for off road rides. Even a thouhg about having a new bike brings so much positive energy for me  !

Snow is hard enough to ski where ever you want. I try to go and find some nice new nature spots to seen. Also spending my last days somwhere here. Now, when writing this, I´ve already packed some stuff. I´m moving to countryside. Summer plans are still bit open. We´ll see  !

Looking for a new hobby  !

Belive it or not but sometimes I´m like these cats  ! When visited my "possible next summer temporary accomodation" I was all but lazy. Or well, I wish I could have done more. There´s the fact that life at countryside is not boring. You always find something usefull to do, like fixing or renovating. That´s so suitable for my peronality. I need to keep going on!

BTW: The horse equipments...

After two years off I went back to try ski orienteering. Weather was perfectly warm and sunny. Course was enough easily orienteering for my rusty brains. On the other hand there were some difficult sections on technical side. It was easy to take short cuts as snow was hard enough to carry me. But at the same time it was dif...

One of the snowiest place in Finland currently is Punkaharju with 60cm snow. I went to ski there. Lovely weather and perfect track   ! (https://www.harjureitit.net/)
