Trip to natural boundary Siintola

In the last weekend has decided to sweep on my old Defender after its repair. Has gone on an isthmus, there where before war there was a Finnish village Siintola, and in 90 my father tried to open a farm from which there were five grounds with superfluous hectares from which it is not clear what to do. Places it is deaf persons, to reach it is possible on old Finnish roads on which if to look narrowly it is attentively possible to find traces of a pre-war life. The first stop at the Finnish boundary post and the kept guide sign on which the rests of inscriptions were kept. The old coin has been found in a grass at the index.

Full photo-report on Trip to natural boundary Siintola - ??????????

I looked at your trip report. Some great photographs in there and good to read some of the descriptions.

Looks like there is a lot to see in one weekend trip.

Hi Pat!
I live in Saint-Petrsburg in Russia and here are a lot of Land Rovers. For my old Defender I have found parts in England. And I think that it's not a problem to find parts for Land Rovers Since 1990 in my city. About new models like Range Rover Sport and Discovery 3 people prefer to repair it in autoservices.
