Finland is one of Europe’s last places of true wilderness. During the summer months the sun rarely sets giving you almost twenty-four hours of light.

Today is the Autumn Equinox, where the duration of the day and night are of equal length all over the world.

The heaths and moors of the Peak District are an eerie exposure of peat covered moorland sitting about 600m above sea level. Large wind carved eroded rocks sit among vast plateaus and rock formations supporting a healthy population of wild Red Deer.
