The road goes ever on and on...

The vehicle has been packed, the trailer loaded and hitched on and the team fueled up with coffee. So, first thing after lunch (which was quite early in the scheme of things) we set off from Sodankylä on the long journey to Kilpisjärvi.

The road goes ever on and on...

and on...

Oooh! Look! Another vehicle on the road!

It's a long way, to Kilpisjärvi,
It's a long way, to go,
It's a long way, to Kilpisjärvi,
Where there'll be lots of snow!

Finally a change in the scenery.

Saana comes into view... can't be long now.

Final stretch. Are we there yet?

Finally, 6 hours after leaving the institute in Sodankylä, the team has arrived at Kilpisjärvi. Lots more to follow! Stay tuned.
