Only 2 teams on the startlists; Scotland Men & Scotland Women.

Anyone else going to go to the biggest and best orienteering race in the world?

I think they probably can't afford to travel within the eurozone :(.

think he Musgrave did pretty well running under someone else's name in 1995, I ran on that area a few years ago and it is rock-hard in the day, think he was 3rd or something on Long night just behin Tom Buhrer

My son will will be running Jukola this year and we are in the process of trying to work out how to fit in travel around GCSE exams! If others are travelling from the UK on the Friday or Saturday we would welcome advice on possible routes and ideally the opportunity for him to travel with others.

Any suggestions welcome by reply or PM.

ryanair: stansted to tampere? if they still run that route. Tampere's probably the closest airport to Mikkeli that you can fly to direct from UK.
