Hi,

###  advertisement
since the nicest part of the year is at the beginning, it is worth to 
spend some days outside and ...
since the solar activity is very high, sky clear, there are polar lights 
also in Oulu latitude -> it is also worth to spend some nights outside
### end of the advertisement

The plan is to go for one night, starting friday or saturday afternoon 
by car direction Haukipudas, and start skiing there at the sea to the 
west at the time of a sunset if possible, going some kilometers - 
possibly to be near some island, making tent for the case of bad 
weather, but if possible staying outside to be able to observe the 
stars/polarlight/sunrise. next day, a bit of skiing and coming back.

If interested, please write latest on thursday lunchtime. add info if 
you can go only friday/saturday or the other time. There is a limited 
number of places in the car, and i didn't think much about alternatives 
at the moment, however, there may be bus sufficient for the purpose.
With equipment, refer to something like  
http://www.student.oulu.fi/~rysoopa/ohjeet/varusteet/kaamosvaellus.html
adapted for one day and add sun glasses. I can also provide some pieces 
of equipment if needed.
Since the plan is rather foggy, don't hesitate to include your more 
detailed suggestions.

t. Jiri
