Lucka 18 – On the road to orienteering walk of fame !

36 days – 9.000kms – 35 orienteering sessions on 35 different maps and areas – and eventually take the chance to ride the best orienteering terrain ever: that was the quest of the summer. Our Scandinavian Summer Tour 2012!

Laird Hamilton have been searching all his life the biggest waves. In 2000 he found Teahupoo in Tahiti and was an-happy-men to surf the heaviest ever ridden wave: the “quest” of his life.

Patrick Edlinger have been a legend in France in the 80’s due to his basic way of living based on climbing the most famous cliffs in Verdon and Luberon. He was simply living in his van and his daily challenge was to make free-climbing all around on the craziest walls (…of course without security), an idol & hero for all of us!

[Check my summer’s way of living inspiration from 7’45 to 10’00 :-)]

This way of living is always a dream for a lot of people in the world: get a basic life for couple of weeks and search for the best spot to enjoy their deep passion: simple and easy choice to get what you are really looking for. Some are going to Yosemite in US to climb big walls, other to Hawaii to ride big waves. We went to Lapland, north Scandinavia to run on some legendary orienteering spots!
