It was a nice and sunny winter day - without snow and the weather actually reminded me rather mid-summer than Christmas :)  The point was hidden in forest, behind a swamp.

It was a windy day and sea had risen far out of its bed because of the storm. However, there's no sea nor storm in the forest, so it's a good idea to visit a dashpoint. It's possible to drive to 1.45km, where I decided to stop to not get stuck. The road onward was quite muddy and several trees had fallen on it because of the storm. The point was in the middle of swampy forest.

The storm had taken trees down onto the trail...

...and toppled the platforms for hunting wild boars

As it's been usual for me during the recent weeks, I tried out the nice features of Danish public transport system yesterday, by taking the train from Copenhagen to Ny Hagested. The only bad thing in it was, that the train (or the train-bus as it's actually called) didn't stop in Ny Hagested, but just passed through it :))  So I had to walk 4km from the next station back to the point. But whatever, the weather was nice and sunny and actually I enjoyed it. The point was in a corner of a potato-field, next to some bushes.

It was on the edge of forest and a swamp. It was possible to drive to 400m, from where we walked. After visiting the point, we were exploring Tagamõisa peninsula and did some geocaching. It's a lot of abandoned ruins of Soviet military facilities around there.

The point had fallen on the land of village Haeska - just like 2 months ago it had happened to GDCN-MOUN. But as it's kind of a big and sparse village, the distance between the points was 3.3km. I got off from bus about 1.2km from the destination and walked from there through the woods. The point was in the middle of a field, which looked like freshly sowed. Its soil was rolled hard and was sparsely covered with white granules of fertilizer. I took a long walk in the area, because the next bus back was 6h after my arrival.

As the place was only 6km from my home, I went there by bicycle. It had fallen on a small meadow next to a farmhouse in village Upa.

Bus dropped me 2km from the point, from where I took a walk. Weather was couple of degrees above 0C, cloudy and little bit windy. The point was on the edge of a meadow, next to a compost pile. After that I took a long walk in nature, because the next bus back was 6h later ;)  It was nice and relaxing like always.

Birch catkins - spring is coming...

First time for me to see a solar powered electric fence. Very cool. The word on the sign means "horse".

It was a cloudy winter day with temperature around 0C. The road to the dashpoint started from Kuivastu harbor. It's the famous paved road to the village named Võiküla, which would mean 'Butter Village' in English. The road was built by the last Emperor of Russia, Nicholas II, in the beginning of 20th century to access the powerful cannon battery on the coast. It's 3km from the harbor to the village and one more km from there to the west to the dashpoint. As you can imagine, this old road is not especially car-friendly, but luckily there was some snow on it, which made it little bit smoother. Beside the road there was a big transformer station, which i checked from behind the fence. There was also a 50m high tower next to it, but i decided to not climb it, because underneath it there was a booth that had a sign on the door saying that there is an alarm system inside. The point was in woods, near the edge of a meadow. After visiting it, I took a walk on coastal plains towards Võilaid (The Butter Islet).

It was a dull winter day. There was a lot of snow on the roads, so I went side ahead quite many times while driving :)  I parked about 400m from the point and walked from there along the coastline. It was quite windy out there and the waves were big and powerful (for Baltic sea). The point appeared to be in water, 35m from the shore.

It was a windy winter day with occasional snowfall. There was a lot of snow on the smaller country roads, but still it was possible to drive to 700m from the point. From there we walked along the edge of a meadow and reached easily to the destination. Afterwards we did some geocaching on the beautiful northern coastline of island Muhu.

It's the last day of year 2014 and we decided to visit the 2nd dashpoint of
December on Saaremaa island just before sunset. The weather was around 0
degrees Celsius and roads were very slippery. At 1.1km before the dashpoint we
had to stop because of "private road" sign, from where we walked onward. We
passed by a shelter with video surveillance and there were some bulls outside
on the pasture. The point was on a snow-covered coastal meadow between
junipers.
