Route manager / Jaakko Leppänen

Jaakko is an orienteering adventurer from Liper's Ylämylly.

As a breeder of jaamankangas, I have been addicted to the scent of heather and softwood as a little boy. That road will continue. 

Some of the most spectacular runs in 2021 were made alongside route planning in Eastern Finland. "Wauuuuh, Uuuuh, what a ridge, a bend in the river and the swamp" !!! There is no better way to smell the wilderness.
