FCI AWC2015 travel blog IV

Saturday in AWC concluded the team competitions, and only the individual finals remain from this years edition of the world championship. This morning was simply painful. Finishing the mandatory tasks on the previous evening took longer than thought, as getting some dinner was postponed. As the result, the night was too short, and the first moments preparing for today at the Unipol arena did not feel inspiring at all. However, the large individual jumping course opened with a set of interesting teams just in the beginning – including perhaps the most anticipated run in AWC. The...

The entire Team Finland arrived at the arena either by foot or by car, and got organized for the mandatory veterinary check.

The photographer’s road to Bologna began on early Wednesday morning after arriving at the Helsinki-Vantaa airport and meeting with a few other team members taking the same flight to Italy. Apart from daily items packed in the luggage, the tools for the job itself are obviously the most watched piece on the road. For some reason a bag rather full of camera stuff and other related gear often receives extra attention in the security controls.
