Cammino di Assisi, October 2012

Cammino di Assisi is a relatively new pilgrimage route in central Italy. It stretches from Dovadola near Forli to Assisi near Perugia. The map we got in Dovadola was not stellar but luckily we brought a roadmap with us. The pilgrimage is about 300km and planned to last for 12 days. The pilgrimage was very good exercise because it was most of the time either uphill or downhill. We were this years last pellegrinis and all in all it was a very interesting experience.

Kayak trip Hämeenlinna - Tampere, June 2012

Early this summer we paddled from Hämeenlinna to Tampere. The inland lakes are already warmed up this time of year but sadly the trip started in rainy weather. By day two the weather started clearing up. On the fourth and last day we experienced good tail-winds and surfs. When we reached Tampere our Suunto GPS showed we had travelled 101 kilometers.
