    Looks like you may need to invite more people from Finland to join. Who else here is across the pond?

    Not from your side of the pond, but I did spend a few years in the UK.

    The forum member Tegg is one of you. He’s been over there to visit the relations a couple of times I believe.

    When living in the UK, I discovered that in the winter the short daylight (or no daylight) of the northern latitudes bothered me more than the colder winter temperatures do here. The UK is warm in the winter (compared to what I am used to), but most people don’t realize that the UK is at about the same latitude as Hudson Bay. So the daylight in winter is considerably shorter.

    I used to go to work at 8:00 and it was completely dark. Sunrise was after 9:00. Then I would get the most beautiful sunsets from my office window in Leicester at about 2:30 in the afternoon. Then back home in the pitch dark at 5:00. Ug.

    Yeah when winter truely gets in gear, tops four hours of usable daylight.
    So “ug” is spot on!

    Yes, I have relatives in Turku. One of them is a huge cyclist. Bikes all winter in the 4 hours of “UG” regardless of weather.

    Not that I’m aware of. Cycling vacations to Italy – Yes. Fishing – likely no.
