The original Sveaborg
or Suomenlinna -cache is back in business since
27.04.2003.
We desided to leave also this one, Suomenlinna ver.2 active as both
are nice caches (we hope).
The cache is too small for trade items. Only smaller geocoins
fit in.
This cache is even closer to the ship channel than the original.
Do not attempt to reach the cache if the winds are high or
if there is snow/ice on the ground.
The terrain is easy in the summer, but not at all easy in the
winter - THIS PLACE IS DANGEROUS in icy conditions.
General information on the Suomenlinna fortress you can find
here and a map here.

19.12.2006 Changed the bags and logbook.
The coordinates were slightly modified to reflect the data given by
the different users.
Here's the different coordinates used for the average:
N 60° 08.279 E 024° 59.438
N 60° 08.268 E 024° 59.429
N 60° 08.278 E 024° 59.430
N 60° 08.276 E 024° 59.428
N 60° 08.276 E 024° 59.424
23.12.2003 The coordinates were modified to reflect the
data given by the different users. Original coordinates were N60
08,279 E024 59,438.
18.08.2002 It is difficult to get a good signal at the
location. All the rock walls cause quite severe distortion; I
suppose it is what they call monitiesärö in Finnish.
When you find the cache, please also write in your log what you
consider to be the correct position. That way we slowly gather the
right average...
