Open Season Scandanavian Style

[Kevin Martin]

After enduring an agonising 24 hour wait to see if our flights out of Stansted would still be on after last weeks latest instalment of ash cloud disruption, a lucky escape to Finland finally happened.

We visited the Finnish bases of Tampere (nothing doing!), Kauhava, Kuopio and Roveneimi, followed by a day trip to Satenas in Sweden. These are a selection of photo’s taken throughout the week so I hope you enjoy,

Hope these were of interest to you,
