Greetings from Estonia!
Greetings from Estonia, where everyone pretends to know English and pretends not to know Russian (understandably), and where the World Rogaining Championships are a mere 12 hours away.
Here are some excerpts from the indemnity form I will be required to sign:
1.1.1 The competitor may get lost.
1.1.2 The competitor may fall under attack of wild animals, domestic animals or cattle or get bitten by a viper.
1.1.6 The competitor may get injuries while moving on the terrain, resulting in an inability to move.
1.4.3 The competitor may fall in the mud or bog pool, resulting in inability to move. This may further result in sinking.
And, of course, the major heading:
1.2 Risks associated with buildings and garbage.

Can you pick me up a snow globe?
Good luck, Frank!! And be safe. When I first joined the SiW crew, I read many previous posts, and skimmed others. So I recall mentions of rogaining, but I honest-to-god assumed it was a goofball hair-growing competition, like those wacky mustache championships. Now, through the magic of the Internet, I realize it's an Amazing Race/geocaching sort of deal. And that Tetley is the official tea of the 2008 championships. I am greatly looking forward to these posts!
Good luck, Frank! Please don't do anything that results in an inability to move. And definitely watch out for the domestic animal attacks. Domesticity is a sham.
