Nickes Odd Outdoor Adventures

The long term target for this outdoor adventure is to cover Finland from Head to Toe using only wind and muscle power. The objective is to complete the adventure using an odd combination of my favourite sports. The purpose is also to enjoy every step of the way and experience the extraordinary variety the Finnish nature has to offer. Lately I have taken up an Wilderness guide education program called ViGu. You'll be able to follow the program in the blog as well. Enjoy!

13.1.2008 I managed to set a new personal speed record on skates using a kite wing. The ice was wet, soft and smooth giving a perfect grip with zero friction. Around twelve a clock the wind reaches the forecasted 15 m/s.

I managed to pull a few SCARINGLY good rounds, and the GPS showed a maximum speed of 82,3 km/h. A significant improvement from the old record of 63,3 on the Karperö lake. Picture 2, 3 and 4 are from 2006. Nowadays I always use a helmet. Naturally.
