It was a beautiful sunny winter day with chilly -10C outside.
13:51 the bus dropped me to straight distance 3.6km from the point, where from i walked then. It took me little bit more than an hour to reach there. The point was in brush, and there was nothing especially interesting around it. After zeroing the GPS, I took a longer walk in surrounding forest. I saw a couple of black roes twice, but they ran away to between trees too fast to take a picture.
17:10 it was getting really dark and i started walking back to the bus. I reached to the stop about 45min too early, so i started walking towards home. I managed to walk 3 bus stops (3.7km) like that before the bus came.
19:39 the bus picked me up. For that time I hadn't drinken a sip of water during almost 6 hours. So i finally felt a bit thursty and took the bottle from the side-pocket of my jacket. And at least half of the water in it had frozen to ice.

Hit the road, Jack...

Left way or right way - choice is yours. Only that the right one is actually a ditch.

I'm not quite sure what this is, but the sign on the low concrete post says "A geodesic point under protection of Estonian Republic". Maybe I should have taken my hat off and sang the anthem?

It was a beautiful day with the very first fresh snow of this winter and slight minus temperature. Bus dropped me 3km from the destination. From there i found my way from between and through all these cottages and f&%#*ng private properties to the swamp behind them. There whole swamp was covered with the white snow that had fallen allover the plants. But underneath there was unfrozen water. Not too deep to get through with boots though. The point was in reed that was higher than my head, so nothing could be seen from there. Afterwards i took a longer walk in the swamp and nearby forest. On the way back a nice big dog started following me for i don't know what reason. And he wanted very willingly to join me on the bus back, but I didn't let him on board though.
