Bjorn fire - navigation skills tested

Another early start for our fire for our journey south across the Finnmarksvidda. Once again the paths were misleading and our navigational skills were put to the test. We’ve learnt that Norwegian maps are merely a guide and not a patch on our OS maps. After bashing through yet more bog we finally made the Kautokeino to Karasjok road and made camp for the night, proud to be leaders on the first BSES expedition to explore the Finnmarksvidda.
