Develop the character is probably one of the most important task for a civilized society and its all individuals. The good character is important to build up.

Well, regarding subject you can find a lot. But today it will be about something hot.

In the mountain environment there is nothing lika a sauna after a day on skies or a climb. The temperature in the sauna shall be between 70-100 degrees celcius. Best is it if the sauna is placced near to a lake so you can take a bath. To get steam and heat you should throw  a bucket of water over the heaters,  ”Heittää löylyä” on finnish. So enjoy the sauna, and my favorites is the saunas in Lunndörren and Blåhammaren.

2:nd December, about the weather…

lucka2[1]

Time to open the second door, and about the wather learn somthing more..Most of the circumstances in the adventure you can influence. But that does not include the weather. Here you must adapt to the circumstances. So therefor it is important to understand a bit of the weather. So here follows some information about it. First of all, it is good to have some tools. A clock with a altimeter and barometer is good to have. The barometer can tell you if there is bad weather or a storm coming.

The next thing will be to see of the signs in the nature.

The halo:  A ring around the sun or the moon. This will indicate that it will be rain within the next 24 hours. If it is incoming low pressure, then it is big risk for precipitation.

halo[1]

Clouds: It there are clouds like cotton balls (cumulus clouds) and they ascends, then it will be rain showers. If the clods cover the entire sky and thicken more and more, the rain will be persistent.

cumulus[1]

 Wind: Wind from northeast brings cold air from the northern hemisphere in to Europe. Winddirection from northwest brings stabile weather situation and high barometic pressure. A warm front after rain and a wind direction from west, can build up a high pressure weather situation.

Start reading the weather now to prepare your self for upcoming adventures. See you tomorrow:-)

He has been taken pictures of the natives around the world, fantastic pictures and the series was called ”Before they pass away”. I think we all have a responsible to take care of the natives.
