Over Northern Finland
Almost all white spots in the forest are just perfect airfields for the GREAT 701

There are small villages and single houses here and there but its anyway a long walk if you had an engine failure or run out of gas.. In the winter there are a lot of spots where to land but in the summer there are none except for forest roads.
On floats it a different story but the glide ratio of the 701 limits its capability to reach the water without engine..
I often follow the water routes, lakes, rivers etc - just in case :)

I'll bet the smooth purring of the Rotax 912 keeps you as warm as the cabin heater. That is very isolated country your flying over... looks a lot like my part of Canada (North Eastern, Ontario)
