A 15 year old bike, even older denniers and a "huge investment" into a new handlebar bag... There is my preparation for the great outdoor adventure ;-)
Of course, at 50, you are not expected to sleep in a tent anymore, so I just booked a couple of cabins and rooms along the way and off we go.
Tomorrow morning by car to Turku, from there by bus to Kustavi and then it's only bike and ferries for the next 4 days.
