The point had fallen on the grounds of Paraspõllu ("Proper Field's") nature reserve in the village named Suursoo which means "Big Swamp" in translation. Besides that, it was just 50m from a channel, which is part of the channel system that supplies city of Tallinn with fresh drinking water. And of course, access to the road on shore of the channel was blocked with a gate. So I had to take the road on the other shore, which was in very bad condition, because officially there was no road at all. When I stopped to visit the point, there came a guy with a SUV from the opposite direction. He stopped beside me and asked if I'm not afraid to get stuck in such conditions. My answer was "Yes". After visiting the point, I took a little walk. There were lots of tracks of ATV in the forest.

The sun that had been shining all through the morning, was hidden behind dense clouds in the afternoon. Later it started raining little bit. I parked my car at the entrance of a peat career, 1.35km from the destination. It was +5C outside and ground was covered with 10-15cm deep wet and sticky snow. The point had fallen onto a clear cut area of forest.
