Kuhmon talvisota

28/01/2026

Talvisotakierroksen toteuttaminen autenttisissa olosuhteissa tammikuussa erinomaisen oppaan kanssa oli todella mielenkiintoinen ja antoisa kokemus. Kunnia Suomen sotilaille ja evakkotaipaleelle joutuneille siviileille.

Normandia 24 -29.9.25

Vuosien odottelun jälkeen matka vihdoin toteutui ja kyllä kannatti. Uutta tietoa tuli todella paljon ja se inspiroi tutustumaan aiheeseen matkan jälkeenkin – katsottu mm. Atlantin valli murtuu sekä mielenkiintoisia dokumentteja. Kaikki muukin matkaan liittyvä oli kohdallaan.
